This is a quick take to address the requests (and questions) I’ve gotten since the review of the Archer BE800. Folks have been wondering why I didn’t evaluate the Archer BE900 instead. “It’s the king of Wi-Fi routers right now,” they say. Is it, though? TP-Link Archer BE900: The old-school …

If you have difficulty deciding between the RadiX AXE6600 vs. RadiX AX6600, the two new routers from MSI, this quick comparison post is for you. These are almost identical Wi-Fi machines in and out. That’s not to mention they represent MSI’s return to home networking after over a decade—they are …
