The Linksys Hydra 6 and Linksys Atlas 6 are Linksys’ newest entry-level dual-band products in the company’s family of WiFi 6 mesh systems and come at the most affordable prices to date for the brand. “There is an increased need for wireless connectivity that can handle the influx of devices on home networks, and deliver…
MediaTek is the last of the three big vendors to announce its range of WiFi 7 chips. Qualcomm announced its WiFi 7 Networking Pro series at the start of May, and Broadcomm has four WiFi 7 products within its ecosystem which were announced back in April. While the development of WiFI 7 is ongoing and…
I am not really a fan of Wi-Fi extenders, they are a bit old fashioned and don’t provide the best performance. I have been a big fan of mesh Wi-Fi systems in the past few years and this is my normal recommendation. However, you have to evaluate the cost vs reward. If there is only…
With the UK gigabit Internet rollout finally making some progress and many of us working from home, our older WiFi routers and mesh systems may start to struggle to provide the best speeds possible. WiFi 6E is the latest WiFi standard and can easily provide faster than gigabit throughput thanks to the new 6Ghz channel….
The Sony PlayStation 5 is an amazing console with next-gen graphics that can compete with high-end gaming PCs. The problem is that next-gen graphics mean gigantic install sizes. Sadly, modern gaming means that even if you buy a physical copy of a game, you are likely going to have to download several gigabytes of data….
I previously reviewed the EnGenius ECW230 access point in 2020. It was a well-specced mid to high-end AP with a 4×4 radio and 2.5GbE. It was one of the first Engenius products I had reviewed that ditched the ezMaster system for the new Engenius Cloud. The EnGenius ECW220S is a lower specced access point, but…
The TRENDnet TEG-S762 and TEG-S750 were announced in the UK back in February. The TEG-S750 is perhaps the more interesting of the two models being a 5 port 10Gbps switch priced at around £300. As far as I am aware, there are no other five port 10Gbps switches on the market at this price. The…
I have previously reviewed the Devolo Magic 2 WiFi 6 Whole Home Kit, and this review is for the Mesh Whole Home Kit. It is a small but important difference. With the previous review, you have one main adaptor for the input then two WiFi adaptors which would provide WiFi 6. This would typically mean…

The ZTE MU5001 5G mobile hotspot with WiFi 6 launched last year and has since been rebranded by Vodafone for its 5G mobile hotspot hardware. Vodafone Deal If you were to buy the ZTE MU5001 by itself from Amazon, it would cost you over £300. A recent deal on Vodafone allowed you to pick up…
Following on from my FRITZ!Box 4060 router review. I was also sent the FRITZ!Repeater 6000 allowing me to upgrade the router into a fully-fledged tri-band WiFi 6 mesh system. Specification Tri-band Wi-Fi: 2400 Mbit/s (5 GHz, 4 x 4, 80 MHz) 2400 Mbit/s (5 GHz, 4 x 4, 80 MHz) 1200 Mbit/s (2.4 GHz, 4…
The new FRITZ!Box 4060 adopts a similar approach to most modern routers nowadays. There is no modem, and your Internet needs to be fed into the WAN port. For many people in the UK, this design makes sense as we are often locked into ISP supplied hardware. All my recent FRITZ!Box reviews have had to…
I was a fan of the WiFi 5 based Devolo Mesh WiFi 2 and I have already reviewed the Devolo Magic 2 WiFi 6. My issue with the was that you theoretically end up with multiple SSIDs and depending on the quality of your home wiring there was a chance you would not be able…
