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
If the name didn’t give it away, this is a lighter version of the USG line which has been the backbone of the Nebula-powered networks for years. And by light, I don’t mean that it weighs less, although it does since the router is now made of plastic instead of metal, but about Zyxel’s attempt … Read more

The TP-Link Archer AX73 AX5400 is one of the newest WiFi 6 models (at the moment of writing) developed by the Chinese manufacturer and just like Asus and Netgear, there seems to be a race on who can flood the market with as many routers as possible. TP-Link Archer AX73 Amazon.com Check Offer Not that … Read more
This is the ASUS RT-AX86U Pro, a WiFi 6 router that is supposed to replace the mid-ranger RT-AX86U, but it does feel like ASUS may have hit a ceiling for its home-grade wireless routers. I say that because the device has the exact same processor as the RT-AX88U Pro and the GT-AX6000 and the same … Read more
The EnGenius ECW536 is one of the first WiFi 7 access point to enter the market and it’s also one the few to offer some of the most expected features of the new standard out of the box. I am talking about MLO (multi-link operation), a feature which Ubiquiti promises to add at a later … Read more
