The reason why I bought the Xiaomi BE7000 is because it is the cheapest WiFi 7 router on the market right now considering its features and the total available bandwidth, but there is one major catch. Since the version I got was directly from China, there is no support for the 6GHz radio band. Will …
Many think that you can’t go wrong when getting higher-end and flagship devices, but what about the entry-to-middle-range wireless routers? I have opened up a few of them, but I haven’t yet tested the TUF-AX4200 which is apparently a veritable gaming-oriented WiFi 6 router. I admit that the prospect of installing OpenWRT on it was …
Choosing the best dual-WAN router may prove to be a bit difficult considering that this type of devices weren’t created for home use, their functionality and complexity being far beyond the needs of the usual user (setting up a multi WAN router can be tedious), and, while the emergence of the DOCSIS 3.1 could have …
The TP-Link TL-ER7206 is the better model from the SafeStream Gigabit Multi-WAN series and it was designed to act as the security gateway to an Omada system. So, it’s very similar to the Zyxel USG Flex 100 and probably closer in functionality to the Ubiquiti ER-X, especially since it has a multitude of WAN ports …
The DrayTek Vigor2926 is part of the latest Dual-WAN VPN router series released by the Taiwan-based manufacturer to aid the SMBs in their endeavor to achieve the maximum network security and reliability. The Vigor2926 is also the successor to the relatively popular Vigor2925 which was a security-focused broadband router that could offer a flexible LAN …
The TP-Link Archer AX73 AX5400 is one of the newest WiFi 6 models (at the moment of writing) developed by the Chinese manufacturer and just like Asus and Netgear, there seems to be a race on who can flood the market with as many routers as possible. Not that I complain about having to choose …
The Asus TUF-AX5400 is yet another WiFi 6 router that was designed to cater to the online gaming community, so, besides offering the usual features that are now commonly found on the AX wireless routers, such as OFDMA and TWT, there are a few technologies to improve the gaming experience as well. There’s the QoS-focused …
Despite the WiFi 6 and even the newer WiFi 7 standards promising speeds way above the good ol’ Gigabit, the Ethernet cable was and still remains the best way to connect client devices that require a low latency and a stable throughput. But, as with all electronic devices, things can go wrong (hardware or software-wise) …
The ASUS RT-AX88U Pro offers two multi-Gigabit ports, a more powerful processor than its predecessor and it supports both AiMesh and some of the gaming features which are usually reserved for the ROG series (such as WTFast). That sounds uncomfortably close to the GT-AX6000 and the teardown does confirm that they’re very close to being …
Underneath the eye-catching layer of gaming-enhancing features, the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AX6000 remains one the best dual-band WiFi 6 router that the manufacturer has developed so far, and it has held that status for about two years before Asus decided to release the RT-AX88U Pro. And one of the main reasons why I decided to …
