asus-rt-ax68u-wifi-6-router

The Asus RT-AX68U is the WiFi 6 replacement for the RT-AC68U, which was of the most popular routers from Asus and it seems that the new device can be placed somewhere above the RT-AX58U, but below the RT-AX86U, the latter being overkill for most homes. So, the Asus RT-AX68U should hit the right spot from … Read more

asus-rt-ax58u-router

The ASUS RT-AX58U (RT-AX3000) is somewhere in the middle of the ‘budget’ WiFi 6 router series from ASUS, immediately after the ‘flagship’ RT-AX88U, but better equipped than the slightly less powerful RT-AX56U and, considering that most of the time, it’s priced somewhere near the RT-AC86U, I think it’s a nice manner to ease your way … Read more

engenius-esr530-wifi-system

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
