TP-Link Deco M5 router review: This mesh network comes with a side of antivirus
Much more than a me-too product, the Deco M5 delivers both innovation and performance.
Netgear expands its Orbi Wi-Fi system into a product family, adding two less-expensive models
For one SKU, the router manufacturer shrunk its satellite to fit a wall plug.
Draytek Vigor 2952 SMB router overview
Routers may appear to be a dime a dozen in the consumer space. Many small businesses might be tempted with something like the excellent Linksys EA9500 with its fast WiFi and eight Ethernet ports, but it won’t be suited to many, advanced business needs. This is where you start needing to look at Draytek and, in particular the Vigor 2952.
Chips coming by June will herald the next generation of Wi-Fi
Qualcomm will start shipping sample chips for the next generation of Wi-Fi by June, helping device and network vendors develop products that might quadruple users’ speeds and lengthen battery life.
Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi router review: It's not a mesh network, but it's good enough you won't care
Orbi satellites communicate with the router, not with each other; but 4x4 backhaul enabled best-in-class performance in most of our benchmarks.
Plume's 'routerless' mesh network blankets your home in Wi-Fi with an army of tiny pods
Plume wants to put a pod in every room of your house, with most router functions controlled by the cloud.
Google WiFi review: Mesh networking made easy
It’s not the right router for everyone, but there’s plenty to like and it’s priced right.
TP-Link powerline adapters review
Much as we love WiFi, even the latest routers can have trouble reaching important places. For many people this means connecting a main computer or a games console to a router in another part of the house – and PC users don’t like connecting by WiFi: it’s just plain wrong (plus the unreliability of ping and connection speed is not good for things like gaming).
Netgear Nighthawk X10 AD7200 Smart WiFi Router goes all the way to 11
The new router sports 802.11ac and 802.11ad, a built-in Plex server, 10Gbps networking, and bonded gigabit Ethernet.
Linksys EA9500 Max-Stream AC5400 MU-MIMO Gigabit router review
Linksys’ latest looks a bit like a massive upturned spider which can be a bit disconcerting in low-light and shadow-rich environments. It’s no looker, although the LED lights on the front have a certain Knight Rider quality to them.
FAQ: What is 802.11ad wireless technology?
Here are the broad strokes about 802.11ad, the wireless technology that’s just starting to hit the market.
New Skype Preview lets Windows 10 Insiders manage phone texts on PCs

AC5300 Router reviews: Linksys EA9500 vs. Netgear Nighthawk X8 vs. D-Link DIR-895L
This is a group test of three of the latest AC5300 (and AC5400) 802.11ac, MU-MIMO wireless routers. It’s part of a series of articles that has seen us investigate:-
Linksys AC600 MU-MIMO WiFi review
As part of an ongoing WiFi investigation we’ve tested three of the latest routers from Netgear, Linksys and D-Link. The first two use the latest, speedy MU-MIMO technology which keeps fast devices running fast even if there are slow devices on the same network (with D-Link the MU-MIMO firmware is in beta). The trouble is, you need a MU-MIMO-compatible adapter in your mobile device to make MU-MIMO work and most laptops and tablets don’t have that.

HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile Printer
The HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile Printer is a great device that fits perfectly into my fast paced and mobile lifestyle. My first impression of the printer itself was how incredibly compact and sleek the device was.

HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile Printer
Wireless printing from my iPhone was also a handy feature, the whole experience was quick and seamless with no setup requirements - accessed through the default iOS printing menu options.
Azadeh Williams
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
Andrew Grant
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It’s seen better days though and an upgrade’s well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility’s there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
Ed Dawson
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
