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).
