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 UNAS 2, specifically the white version, UNAS-2-W, is the first server available in Ubiquiti’s recently announced Next-Gen UniFi Storage lineup, which includes three additional servers set to arrive later in the year. It’s also the first from the company designed for general consumers—the debut model, the UNAS Pro, which …
The U7 Pro Outdoor is part of Ubiquiti’s original U7 Pro family of access points, which first came out in January 2024 and was then replaced by the U7 Pro Max in September of the same year. However, it’s a totally different beast. For one, it was released in early …
The ZenWiFi BD4 was first available at the end of 2024. I’ve used one since the beginning of 2025 and intended to review it first. However, I ended up testing the slightly higher-end ZenWiFi BD5 due to the availability of its outdoor option, among other things, and realized the two …
The Orbi 370 series, first announced in the US on July 29, 2025, is NETGEAR’s fourth Wi-Fi 7 mesh system. Previously, the company had offered a trio including the 970 series, 870 series, and 770 series. The most noticeable aspect of the new Orbi 370 series is its significantly lower …
If the head rings a bell, that’s because this ASUS ZenWiFi BD5 Outdoor is, well, the “outdoor” version of the standard ZenWiFi BD5 I reviewed earlier this week. Truth be told, I actually tested the two together initially, but during the process, I decided that this Outdoor unit deserved more …
The ZenWiFi BD5 is the upgrade version of the ZenWiFi BD4—both were announced at CES 2025. In the growing Wi-Fi 7 landscape, it’s ASUS’s dual-band rival to the TP-Link Deco BD25 and the NETGEAR Orbi 370 Series, and as such, it’s a formidable contender. Here’s the bottom line: If you …
The RT-BE58U—a.k.a. RT-BE3600 for those who shop at Best Buy—is ASUS’s third dual-band Wi-Fi 7 standalone router, and the most modest out of the pack, compared to the previous RT-BE88U and RT-BE86U. However, it has enough for a home with Gigabit-class broadband. Here’s the bottom line: The ASUS RT-BE58U is …
The DiskStation DS225+, available in the US market on July 23, 2025, is Synology’s 2025 continuation of its 2-bay Plus series. I found this release somewhat unexpected, given that the DS224+ came out in 2024. Generally, Synology refreshes its Plus servers only when a model is at least two years …
The Synology DiskStation DS1525+ network-attached storage (NAS) server, first available in the US on June 25 is arguably the best among Synology’s new and controversial 2025 releases. Here’s the bottom line: The contentious storage requirement aside, the DS1525+ is an excellent NAS server to buy today, worth its $799.99 retail …
The Archer BE700 is another confusing option among TP-Link’s existing soup of Wi-Fi 7 routers. It’s a BE15000 router, which means, according to the way TP-Link has released its hardware, there’s a chance you’ll find an Archer BE15000, which would be the same hardware with a different model name.
