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 …
Over the last few months, ASUS has upgraded two of its most popular WiFi 6 routers to the Pro version and after testing them, I noticed that there are some striking similarities between them, mainly in terms of internal components. But why is the ROG GT-AX6000 in this comparison? Well, this WiFi 6 router was …
The EnGenius ECW230S is currently one of the two WiFi 6 access points that make use of the WIPS and Zero DFS radios to dramatically improve the way the system admin can monitor the network by getting a better understanding of the channel utilization, the live clients and some other network activities. But another aspect …
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 …
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 Zyxel USG Flex 100 is the entry-level security firewall gateway from the new USG Flex series and yes, it does have pretty much all the features of the older USG series, but Zyxel now relies a lot more on the Cloud Query service (that it has unveiled last year) to help deliver a better …
The ZYXEL USG FLEX 200HP is a part of the recently-released USG FLEX H series, this particular model being aimed at SMBs, having a special focus towards providing better security without having an impact on the throughput and overall performance. I have tested the entry-level USG FLEX 100 and there are some clear improvements across …
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 …
