If you’re wondering about the whereabouts of those Wi-Fi 6E solutions TP-Link flaunted back in January 2021, your guess is as good as mine. So far, none has materialized. I recently asked TP-Link about them, and the company said while it missed the release dates, its commitment to the new …
The TP-Link Archer GX90 sure is certainly an interesting Wi-Fi 6 tri-band gaming router. On the one hand, it’s the alter ego of the Archer AX90—the two share the same hardware specs. On the other hand, as a gaming router, it resembles the Archer AX11000 in terms of appearance, features, …
The TP-Link TL-SX1008 is the third 10Gbps Multi-Gig switch I’ve tested, and while not exactly the charm, it’s almost the just-right option for most homes.

The TP-Link Archer AX90 AX6600 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6 router is, for the most part, the souped-up version of the tri-band Archer AX3200. That said, this review is also an Archer AX90 vs. Archer AX3200 matchup. Indeed, the two have so much in common, despite their somewhat distinctive Wi-Fi specs. So, …
For a few months now, folks have been asking me to review the TP-Link Deco X90 AX6600 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System, and I was about to do precisely that. Upon close inspection, though, I realized that the Deco X90 is basically the Deco X5700 I already reviewed, with just …
You can bet that TP-Link is betting big on the new Wi-Fi 6E standard. Today, the networking vendor announced at CES 2021 four new Wi-Fi 6E solutions, including two mesh systems and two standalone routers. It sounds almost too good to be true. Deco X96 and Deco X76: First Wi-Fi …
This Linksys Velop MX4200 vs. TP-Link Deco X5700 matchup is basically about Linksys vs. TP-Link as two home networking brands. That’s because they deliver similar values, despite some noticeable differences. (Note: Technically, the 2-pack Linksys has the model MX8400 number, and the 3-pack is MX12600, which I reviewed.

This TP-Link Deco X5700 vs. NETGEAR Orbi AX4200 matchup is a fight between two well-performing mesh systems. Sure, they look distinctive enough, but there is much more to them than meets the eye. If you want to see how different TP-Link Deco is different from NETGEAR Orbi, or any other …
