The Asus RT-AC68U is most likely the most iconic wireless router that Asus has released so far and the manufacturer knows it which is why it is still supporting this model even after almost a decade after its release. So why did I decide to test the RT-AC68U now, when WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E … Read more
The Meshforce M7 is (currently) the newest WiFi 5 mesh system developed by the Chinese manufacturer and we’re dealing with three identical units that rely on a dedicated 5GHz radio band to handle the backhaul traffic (yes, all three units are tri-band). I have seen this approach years ago when the first gen Orbi was … Read more
The Speedefy KX450 is the first WiFi 6 router from the Chinese company and, as the title suggests, there are quite a few similarities with the TP-Link Archer AX21. Without beating it around the bush, the AX21 and the Speedefy AX1800 have essentially the same internal hardware, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are … Read more

The Asus RT-AX55 and the RT-AX56U are, currently, the only entry-level models that Asus has made available for the consumer public and, while some other manufacturers have simply re-released the same router twice with a different design (to artificially overcrowd the market – check out the Netgear AX10 and the AX20), the RT-AX55 and the … Read more

I managed to get my hands … Read more

The Netgear R6700AX (or RAX10 depending on the region) can be considered the WiFi 6 successor to the Netgear R6700 which was an excellent WiFi 5 router, overshadowed only by the iconic R7000. And while there’s nothing wrong with relying on the nostalgia factor, we already had an AX1800 router from Netgear and things get … Read more
