I find the Asus RT-AX68U AX2700 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 6 Router, officially announced today in the U.S., a bit of an oxymoron. It’s somewhat an entry-level Wi-Fi 6 router that comes out after Asus’s first Wi-Fi 6E machine, the GT-AXE11000. So …

The Asus RT-AX92U, first released in mid-2019, is an interesting case for two reasons. First, you only find it during the transition from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6. And secondly, well, I reviewed it twice. Dong’s note: That’s right! You’re …

When Netgear first announced the Orbi AX4200 (RBK752), I assumed it was the lesser version of the flagship Orbi AX6000 (RBK852). And on the surface on it, I was right. Looking deeper, it’s a different story. There’s a lot more …
