What is AiMesh? The AiMesh is an ambitious, new technology developed by Asus which allows the creation of home-based WiFi mesh systems using two or more Asus routers. Unlike the dedicated WiFi mesh systems available from most, if not all large networking manufacturers (yes, including Asus), where you usually get two or three identical devices, … Read more
As you know, the WiFi technology has evolved a lot the last decade, from the good ol’ 2.4GHz band and 802.11n wireless networking standard to the now almost equally widespread, but better 802.11ac standard (we’re now one step into the 802.11ax standard). So, you have a large array of routers, with different shapes and designs, … Read more
The Zyxel NSG50 is a part of the managed security gateway series and it’s the final piece towards a complete Nebula Cloud network solution, designated for routing purposes, connecting the internal network consisting of other Zyxel access points or Ethernet switches (and not only) to the outside network (so, essentially, it will work as a … Read more

Since the networking market is overcrowded in almost every … Read more
The Linksys WRT3200ACM is among the two most powerful wireless routers from the Linksys WRT series (along with the WRT32X) and a successor to one of the most popular AC1900 router, the WRT1900ACS. As the name suggests, the WRT3200ACM is an AC3200 device, but this may be misleading for some, because we are not dealing … Read more
Choosing the best dual-WAN router may prove to be a bit difficult since this type of devices weren’t created for home use, their functionality and complexity being way beyond the needs of the usual user (setting up a multi WAN router can be tedious and, sometimes, outrageously confusing). You will need some networking knowledge to … Read more
The DrayTek Vigor2926 is part of the latest Dual-WAN VPN router series released by the Taiwan-based manufacturer to aid the SMBs in their endeavour to achieve the maximum network security and reliability.

The TP-Link Deco M5 and Google WiFi are two popular dual-band WiFi systems (the Google WiFi had the advantage of being released several months earlier than the Deco M5), both sharing very similar traits, while also focusing towards the same type of audience: users that have a large house with lots of wireless “dead-zones”. The … Read more
