    Orbi - the bandwidth annihilator

    If you use an Ethernet backhaul for the Orbi, does it allow clients to then connect to the 4 stream radio like how the EX8000 allows it, or does it just shut off that higher performing radio? It would be good if they can offer all 3 bands available for client devices, with an Ethernet backhaul...

    Better News About WPA3 Device Support

    Agreed, adoption of new hardware can be a major barrier (it did not work out for 802.11ad). If they put profits ahead of security, WPA3 will have a massive uphill battle. they need to examine all commonly owned hardware going back multiple years, and see what can handle it. For example, I don't...

    WPA3 Certification Open For Business

    During the transition period where most APs will have to use both WPA 2 and 3, is there any possible risk to a downgrade attack, or is it completely resistant to any form of downgrade attack if an attacker is actively interfering while a client is attempting to connect to the AP?

    VPNFilter Malware

    I was focusing on the consumer/ home users, people tend to not replace their routers very often, and there are many manufacturers out there who love to drop software support after around 6 to 12 months.

    VPNFilter Malware

    What I wonder about is what will be done with the companies that have a bunch of routers that are widely used but is EOL and no longer receiving updates, all while the companies take steps to prevent users from running 3rd party firmware? With more and more devices being added to the list, we...

    Plume is turning its mesh Wi-Fi into a subscription service

    Plume is moving to a subscription based system for their products in order to maintain the features which they refer to as "Active Management", though they fail to detail what that entails, and if the subscription is not paid, they claim that the products will continue to function but with...

    2.5/5 GBps USB Ethernet Adapter Announced

    While hard to do with the standard ping measurements, has anyone done testing on the response times of USB Ethernet controllers VS ones that are connected to the PCI express bus?

    Wi-Fi Roaming Secrets Revealed

    For roaming to be fixed, I feel someone would need to find a way to do this, but with WiFi APs and their corresponding clients. (skip to 14:48) Have a handoff that is transparent to the client device (ignoring any and all standards). An amazing outcome would be if a roam to the client could...

    WPA3 Standard To Be Implemented Across Qualcomm Product Portfolios

    For the processing power limitations, is it due to a dedicated ASIC that handles the WiFi encryption, or are they referring to the to the main SOC and the performance of its interger cores? While there are some slow WPA 2 based routers, some of the more recent devices have moved to...

    WPA3 Standard To Be Implemented Across Qualcomm Product Portfolios

    Since the changes seem to be on the software side, what re the odds that we will see some WPA2 routes getting firmware updates to support it?

    Comcast Goes Nationwide With XFi Pod Wi-Fi Extenders

    If they have not significantly updated the specs, wouldn't it be an issue since it would effectively bottleneck all but their entry level speed tier?

    Wi-Fi Roaming Secrets Revealed - Part 3

    Is it mandated that companies making access points follow the standards? Why can't one company say "forget the standards", and find a workaround to take more control over roaming? If the standards are not doing what is needed to provide the best user experience, then wouldn't it become a...

    Wi-Fi Roaming Secrets Revealed - Part 2

    Basically on their routers from the past few years, in both the debug page and in the nvram, the 11k option is set to 0 while for their access points/ extenders, it is often set to 1 (enabled). If a user is using buying one of their range extender products, then it seems like they would be...

    Wi-Fi Roaming Secrets Revealed - Part 2

    From the looks of at least 802.11k, it doesn't seem like it would cause any compatibility issues, I wonder why more routers and access points don't make use of it? For example, Netgear seems to disable it by default on their routers.

    Wi-Fi Roaming Secrets Revealed

    I understand that what I was asking about is not possible within the standard, I was mainly wondering if they could break/ deviate from those standards in a way that can still maintain compatibility. In many other parts of the electronics industry device makers will deviate from standards in...

    Wi-Fi Roaming Secrets Revealed

    I'm working in areas with both ruckus and cisco APs, the roaming behavior seems similar with my smartphone. What has been weird for me is that the roaming behavior for many smartphones seems to be based on software and not on the WiFi chipset. Currently have 6 different smartphone models with...

    QNAP Releases Two 10GbE Unmanaged Switches For Small Business

    I also dislike when they go with SFP+ ports, you end up having to spend a bunch more money to get RJ45 support. Why can't they just do a basic switch with 5-8 10GbE ports on it, and then sell it for something like $60-80? it would appeal to users looking to do upgrades without being insanely...

    Wi-Fi Roaming Secrets Revealed

    Is it possible to somehow force a client to a different AP in a way that is transparent or barely noticeable to the client? For example, implement some way for the APs to share data relating to the connection state of each client, and then arrange a hand off where 1 PS tells the other, that a...

    Sponsored: How Is A Gaming Router Different?

    From my use of it, it does effectively provide a 1 click solution if someone wants to get a really good score on those buffer bloat benchmarks. If it were cheaper and had an eSATA port, then I would probably get one. For the geo filter, it is more useful for console gamers who lack a proper...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.49SF

    Has anyone experienced a strange issue where they lose all WAN connectivity, and the router suddenly thinks you moved from the US to Europe along with not knowing any of the WiFi settings? I just now had this issue which went away when I simply power cycled the router. Sadly none of the...
