I am familiar with EnGenius from its SMB-focused networking devices (mostly with the wireless access points series) and I admit that I was a bit surprised to see that the manufacturer decided last year to set foot into the consumer market not with one, but two WiFi systems, the dual-band EnGenius ESR530 and the tri-band … Read more
About a year ago, I revisited the Google WiFi review and I came to the conclusion that it could still be considered one the most best dual-band WiFi systems and not much has changed since then, Google still holding a larger portion of the incredibly competitive networking market. It’s true that Google has released some … Read more
There are currently lots of changes in the consumer networking market due to the new WiFi 6 standard but even so, the Google WiFi and Orbi still remain two of the most popular WiFi systems, despite their age (along with Eero and, perhaps the Linksys Velop). These two WiFi systems have pretty much shaped the … Read more
Since last year, Asus has been diligently releasing new routers that support the new WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard to cover every category of the home networking market segment and I’ve recently managed to test two of the more ‘affordable’ members of the new series, the Asus RT-AX58U and the RT-AX56U.

The Eero WiFi 2019 is the third WiFi system released by the US-based manufacturer and, similarly to the Google Nest WiFi, it’s a dual-band system that still adheres to the previous WiFi standard (802.11ac).

The EnGenius ECW120 is a part of the new Cloud managed wireless access points series and it’s the only ceiling-mount model that was left out of the WiFi 6 group. But, despite supporting the Wave 2 802.11ac WiFi standard, the AC1300-class access point still promises a large WiFi coverage, accompanied by a solid throughput (supporting … Read more
The Google WiFi and Eero remain two of the most popular WiFi mesh systems on the market, Eero being one of the pioneers that brought the mesh technology to the consumer-type networking devices, while Google has used its influence and experience to take its Google WiFi and the rest of the WiFi systems into the … Read more
The novelty of the WiFi mesh systems is slowly fading away and the market now offers a far larger variety of devices to choose from, but, while a Netgear Orbi or an Eero system may be the first options that a tech savvy person will take into account, the regular user may still be a … Read more
The Netgear Orbi and Eero still remain among the most popular WiFi systems on the market and both Eero and Orbi have greatly influenced the way a WiFi system should look and perform, thus helping pave the way for the future of the home networking devices. And that’s truer for Eero more than the Orbi, … Read more
About four years ago, I asked myself whether the Eero Home WiFi System will revolutionize the home networking market and set a blueprint for how the future of the routers will look like or if it’s just another set of expensive wireless repeaters. A year later, I could definitely see that Eero’s crowdfounded project was … Read more
