You’ll likely be amazed by the Firewalla Blue or Blue Plus. Each is a tiny device that can do so much. Almost instantly. Indeed, connect it to your router, and you’ll be able to monitor, manage, and view the status of your entire home network, in great detail, with ease. …
The Nexus Link GPL-2000PT-KIT is a testament that Powerline is still relevant today. Sure, I’ve been recommending folks to run network cables of late. That’s the only way to truly get the best home network in this age of Wi-Fi 6 and 5G. But for certain homes with a modest …
When NETGEAR first announced the Orbi AX4200—a.k.a the RBK750 series available as RBK752 (2-pack) or RBK753 (3-pack)—I assumed it was the lesser version of the flagship Orbi AX6000 (RBK852). And on the surface of it, I was right. Looking deeper, it’s a different story. There’s a lot more to love …
