Running from 2 to 5 March at Stand E35 in Hall 7, the company’s exhibition covers new routers for 5G fixed wireless access, compact fibre optic gateways supporting speeds up to…
Acer has announced four new connectivity products at CES 2026, bringing Wi-Fi 7 and 5G technology to its networking lineup. The range includes the gaming-focused Predator Connect X7S 5G CPE, two Acer Connect Ovia mesh routers, and the portable Acer Connect M4D 5G Mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. Predator Connect X7S 5G CPE: Cellular and Wi-Fi 7…
My only experience of GL.iNet in the past has been via the ExpressVPN rebranded Aircove routers, which use their own custom firmware, such as the Aircove Go travel router and the Aircove Wi-Fi 6 router. I recently moved to Aquiss on City Fibre with a 2500Mbps line and experienced issues with upload speeds on my…
I recently reviewed the excellent Ugreen NASync DH4300 Plus. As a long-time Unraid user, I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did, due to the limited app availability, but I leaned into the functionality it does have, and have continued to use it since. This has now become my NAS, which I…
I have been a big fan of Ugreen for the past few years, with them consistently launching great Power Delivery chargers, portable power banks, and USB/Thunderbolt docks. One product range I have been eager to try out is the new Ugreen NAS devices. I am a keen homelabber who is currently running two mini PCs…
I first wrote about the FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro back at the start of 2023, but for various reasons, the launch was delayed. It has finally been launched, and I have been using it for the past few weeks. My testing has been somewhat limited as I am based in the UK and use Virgin Media…

Even though it is Unifi’s most affordable 2.5GbE switch by far, it has drawn some criticism, with people thinking it should be cheaper or have more ports. Admittedly, I would have liked to…
Netgear introduced its first WiFi 7 Nighthawk router at the end of last year, the Nighthawk RS700S, the flagship model of the Nighthawk series. They then followed this up with the more affordable Nighthawk RS300. I found that the main difference in performance was the omission of 10GbE ports, as the RS600 was able to achieve a…
Back in 2020, I reviewed the Nighthawk Pro XR1000 WiFi 6 Gaming Router, which was essentially the same hardware as the RAX50 but running DumaOS, which is a specialist router OS with an attractive UI and many features geared toward improving gaming performance. Netgear hasn’t produced another router running this OS but Netduma, the company…
EnGenius announced its flagship WiFi 7 access point back in July 2023, and I have finally received a review sample to see how it compares to the growing number of WiFI 7 access points from brands like Ubiquiti, Zyxel, and Netgear. I have previously reviewed the Ubiquiti Unifi U7 Pro and the Zyxel NWA130BE WiFi…
