Multi-Gigabit is a connection that can deliver 2Gbps or faster in sustained speed. For the home, this performance grade is powered by the new Multi-Gig wired standard and the upcoming Wi-Fi 7.
The ZenWiFi Pro XT12 is worth the wait. And that’s a good thing, considering it has been a bit of a tease. ASUS initially and quietly unveiled this tri-band mesh system in August 2021 with the ZenWiFi ET12; both were slated to be available in the US in early 2022. …
If you’ve been wondering, and maybe even annoyed, that NETGEAR’s Wi-Fi 6 and 6E access points generally don’t include a power adapter, the MS108UP 8-port Multi-Gigabit (2.5G) Ultra60 PoE++ Ethernet Plus Switch would be a clear answer. This latest 8-port Multi-Gig switch is designed to power those devices. It’ll work …
Since I posted the review on the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000, I’ve gotten questions about comparing it to the Orbi RBRE960, which is the router unit of the NETGEAR Orbi RBKE 960 series. Well, an ASUS GT-AXE16000 vs. NETGEAR RBKE960 matchup is a bit like apples vs. oranges. For one, …
If you asked me “Dong, tell me da best router to get, money is not an issue!”, which many of you actually did over the years, the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 would be it. Aside from the bulky design and the big hurdle that is the hefty $699 suggested retail …
The TRENDnet TPE-TG350 5-Port Unmanaged 2.5Gbps PoE+ switch is definitely behind its 10Gbps cousin, the TEG-S750, in performance. But for a PoE power-sender, its entry-level Multi-Gig grade makes sense. Presently, even the fastest PoE devices, such as Wi-Fi 6 or 6E access points, only have 2.5Gbps or slower ports. But …
Synology’s first router in years, the RT6600ax, is finally available today. And, like the Ubiquiti UDR, it’s a near-perfect Wi-Fi 6 machine that does not have a lot of love for Multi-Gig users. For the rest, the new router is as good as can be. And its support for the …
The TRENDnet TEG-S750 Multi-Gig Unmanaged switch is almost everything I wished its cousin, the TEG-S762, had. Instead of mixing 10Gbps and 2.5Gbps ports, it goes straight up 10Gbps. The way Multi-Gig works, these ports also support the lower speed grades (5Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 1Gbps, 100Mbps.) On the downside, TRENDnet TEG-S750 has …
The WAX630E is NETGEAR’s first tri-band Wi-Fi 6E business-class access point. And it can be a viable alternative to the company’s quad-band Orbi RBKE960 series, especially in terms of cost. Dubbed as a “Wi-Fi 6 Release 2” device by NETGEAR—a naming reminiscent of the WAVE 2 in Wi-Fi 5—the WAX630E’s …
At the current price of around $380 a pop, the Zyxel WAX630S wireless access point (WAP), available for purchase today, is not cheap. But it still costs significantly less than EnGenius ECW230 while delivering a similar experience. Truth be told, just like the EnGenius counterpart, the WAX630S represents a section …
The ZenWiFi Pro ET12—not to be confused with the XT12—is the fourth Wi-Fi 6E mesh system I’ve tested, after the Linksys AXE8400, the ZenWiFi ET8, and the NETGEAR Orbi RBKE960 series. And again, I wanted to love it as a fully wireless system but couldn’t due to the innate short …
