The EnGenius EWS850-FIT (once EWS850AP) is a standalone outdoor Wireless Wi-Fi 6 access point (WAP) and differs significantly from the previous cloud-based ECW230. And that’s a good thing. EnGenius announced the EWS850AP in early 2020 and started shipping in February 2021. In early November 2022, the company launched a new …

This RT-AX88U Pro vs. GT-AX6000 matchup is to answer all the questions I’ve been getting since the review of the former. Apparently, my lumping the original RT-AX88U in the review made things harder for folks to figure out which to get out of this particular pair. Or maybe it’s just …
Some two years after the release of the RP-AX56U range extender, ASUS finally made available the better version, the RT-AX58U. This brief take will compare the two and help you decide which to get. But if you are in a hurry, the RP-AX58U is an easy pick, considering it comes …
