    GigE Dumb Switches - e.g. unmanaged

    Well, gee, that's the tech progress for you. Moore's law and all that. I remember around year 2000-01, a managed gigabit switch could cost the price of nice used car...

    Why No 10GbE For Home Users?

    I can't imagine 10GbE showing up in any consumer or SOHO type of products any time soon. What is the killer application that needs 10GbE some time soon? The most obvious candidate is Ultra HD streaming, but apparently with modern compression, you need 20-50mbps of throughput for it. So a gigabit...

    Slow wireless AC speeds

    If you take a look at real life tests, the wireless-ac performance can vary wildly depending on the distances from the router and obstacles. As for differences between the machines, perhaps the quality and quantity of the internal or external antennas matter too, as well as the case materials to...

    European Routers? Any different? Will they work in USA?

    Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    Every day I learn something. One thing I learned from reading this review is that there are going to be single-stream 802.11ac adapters installed in laptops. For some reason, I thought that after the wireless-n fiasco, the hardware manufacturers will be required to use two stream wireless-ac...

    Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 MU-MIMO Smart Wi-Fi Router Reviewed

    Maybe I got it all wrong, but I gotta say that the more I learn about MU-MIMO, the more disappointed I become. The biggest disappointment is from the fact that apparently it works only for downlink transfer. Personally, I was hoping that MU-MIMO would speed up machine to machine data transfers...
