Dual-band refers to Wi-Fi broadcasters with two radios of two different frequencies, often 2.4GHz and 5GHz, though other band combos can be possible.
The new TP-Link Deco X55 Pro AX3000 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System, officially available on July 7, 2023, is what the previous Deco X60 and especially the Deco X4300 Pro should have been. It’s the first Wi-Fi 6 Deco designed to deliver Gigabit, even faster, broadband in full. In …
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 …
There’s a long gap between this ASUS RT-AX88U Pro and the original RT-AX88U, which was my very first review of a Wi-Fi 6 router. A lot happened in those four years. We now have plenty of other Wi-Fi 6 routers, a new Wi-Fi 6E standard, and Wi-Fi 7 around the …
TP-Link today announced the availability of the Archer AX5400 Pro, and as the name suggests, it comes with a 2.5GbE Multi-Gig WAN port. Since the Deco XE75 Pro, TP-Link has been releasing the “Pro” version of existing Wi-Fi broadcasters with the support for Multi-Gig as the sole apparent upgrade. While …
The ZenWiFi XD5 does not complete what the ZenWifi XD4 set out to start—it’s similarly stripped-down hardware in terms of features. But it does have everything the older cousin had and then some noteworthy improvements. I reviewed the ZenWifi XD4 in June 2020 and called it the first “complete AiMesh …
NETGEAR today unveiled the WAX220 Wi-Fi 6 Access Point as a major upgrade to its existing WAX214. Among other things, the new standalone AP now supports the 160MHz channel width to deliver up to 4200Mbps of Wi-Fi bandwidth and incorporates a 2.5GbE Multi-Gig PoE port—up from the Gigabit of the …
This post is a quick comparison of the ASUS RT-AX86S, RT-AX86U, and RT-AX86U Pro. Together, they make up confusing dual-band Wi-Fi 6 options. In mid-August 2020, I published an in-depth review of the RT-AX86U, calling it “arguably the best dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router” for a good reason—the router has indeed …
A year or two ago, the Synology WRX560 would have been an awesome router. But considering the current ubiquity of Wi-Fi 6E and the upcoming Wi-Fi 7, Synology’s latest router, first announced in late October 2022, seems awfully dated. Though excellent, as it proved in my testing, this one is …
This Omada EAP670 vs. EAP610 matchup represents the top and bottom tiers of TP-Link’s Wi-Fi 6 business access points (APs). They replace the EAP245 and other Wi-Fi Wi-Fi 5 variants. The EAP670 is a top-tier broadcaster, and the EAP610 is entry-level. Other than the differences in hardware specs and physical …
