I know I am a bit late to the party, but since there is little coverage of networking devices these days, I said why not test the TP-Link EAP773 myself? And so I got my hands on this slim half metal, half-plastic WiFi 7 access point that rivals Ubiquiti not only in terms of size, … Read more
I have retested the U7 Pro Max very recently and I was upset by the slow progress that Ubiquiti made towards the development of the MLO. Well, they did release a beta firmware that supports it and I also managed to finally make it work on the client end, so I had to run some … Read more
It’s fairly common to first release the better equipped device, as a sort of power display, so the Zyxel WBE660S that you see here is the most powerful WiFi 7 access point from Zyxel (at the moment of the writing) and yes, it has been released a few months before the NWA130BE. The latter did … Read more
After months of waiting for the driver updates and the firmware upgrades to align, we finally get to see the promised MLO feature in action. I admit I was skeptical that it would come at all on cheaper access points, such as the U7 Pro and the Zyxel NWA130BE, but it’s here and it works … Read more
For about 100 dollars more than the TUF BE3600 (at the moment of writing), you can get the ASUS RT-BE88U which is a sort of mid-range WiFi 7 router that also doesn’t support the 6GHz radio band, but it does have some features that may or may not compensate for this major deficiency. There is … Read more
I have been trying to make MLO work for about half a year and a few days ago, it finally happened, all stars aligned and I got to see this feature in action for the first time. Some smartphones could use it for quite some time, as well as some newer computers, but I don’t … Read more
This is the Banana Pi WiFi 6 router and the people behind the project do also make it available only as an SBC, so you can use whichever case you want. They did a good job nevertheless and it could easily pass as something developed by ASUS or Netgear. But what exactly is a Banana … Read more
What do we have here today? It’s the ASUS TUF Gaming BE3600, a gaming-focused WiFi 7 router and I paid close to 300 dollars for it, so is it worth the money? Well, let’s first address the mammoth in the room. ASUS does call the BE3600 a WiFi 7 router, but there is no support … Read more
After seeing that ASUS has made available its new WiFi 7 routers series, I got very excited and got the BE3600, which I suppose is an entry-level device, although the price definitely stated otherwise. That was with the expectation that it does support the 6GHz radio. But, the box says something else and so does … Read more
Ubiquiti wanted to build a long range version of the U7 Pro and that’s how the U7 Pro Max came to be, offering a potentially better range due to improved antennas and we finally get 4×4 spatial streams for the 5GHz radio band. The 2.4 and the 6GHz configuration remains the same as on the … Read more
