Multi-Gigabit is a connection that can deliver sustained speeds of 2 2Gbps or faster. For the home, this performance grade is powered by the new Multi-Gig wired standard and, more generally, by any hardware that supports Wi-Fi 7 and later.
As the model name suggests, the RT-BE90U is slightly below the previous RT-BE92U and proved less capable in real-world testing. However, it can still be an excellent alternative, even better in certain cases. Here’s the bottom line: For those living in a small home that needs only a single access …
I first thought the ASUS RT-BE82U would somewhat resemble the RT-AX82U, the way the RT-BE86U and RT-BE88U continue their respective design lineages. I thought wrong. The RT-BE8U is more of an upgrade to the RT-BE58U, with slightly higher Wi-Fi specs and all 2.5GbE ports. Here’s the bottom line: For those …
This post features the five best 10Gbps Multi-Gig Wi-Fi systems—namely the best Wi-Fi systems with multiple 10Gbps Multi-Gig ports. These are among those I’ve reviewed and used for an extended period, with multiple 10Gbps fiber-optic plans in various areas. They are the ones that offer the fastest and most reliable performance in …
This post features the top five 10Gbps Multi-Gig routers—routers with multiple 10Gbps ports—among those I’ve evaluated. They matter because 10Gbps is the highest theoretical bandwidth available for any home or small business. Consequently, these are also the best routers for those with 10Gbps Internet. I’ve used all of these devices …
Generally, a Wi-Fi router connects multiple wired and wireless devices to form a local network and allows access to the Internet. That’s generally how a router works. However, there are also “router NAS options” in which a Wi-Fi router can also function as a mini server, simultaneously providing storage for …
Hardly anyone would need Ubiquiti’s UniFi Dream Machine Beast (model UDM-Beast), but many would want it. In fact, I know some who are willing to go the extra mile to get this massive rack-mount UniFi Cloud Gateway. I’m one of them. Here’s the bottom line: For a non-Wi-Fi “router”, the …
To have a faster-than-Gigabit experience, whether for Internet or Wi-Fi, we need a wired connection that delivers multi-Gigabit performance in real-world use. And that’s where Multi-Gig Ethernet—”Multi-Gig” for short—comes into play. You’ll learn all about it in this post, but the gist is that if your home network is currently …
