Reviewing the Edimax BR-6478AC V2 AC1200 Gigabit dual-band Wi-Fi router

  • review
  • Radu Tyrsina
Edimax is a Taiwanese company that makes affordable smarthome devices, including wireless routers. Their top wireless router at the moment is Edimax BR-6478AC V2 which is by no means, expensive. It costs around 70 USD and it promises to offer quite a lot of bang for the buck. While the hardware specifications of this router don't seem impressive, the feature list is quite long for a device that's priced so

  • review
  • Radu Tyrsina
Two years ago, the OnePlus company launched its first smartphone called OnePlus One, promoted as the "Original flagship killer". The One model was designed to compete in terms of performance, quality and PRICE, with the flagship devices released by the well-known companies in the Android market. In the summer of 2015, the manufacturer launched the successor to the OnePlus One, the new "flagship killer", OnePlus Two. Late in the same

Reviewing TP-LINK RE450 AC1750 Wi-Fi Range Extender

  • review
  • Radu Tyrsina
The TP-LINK RE450 AC1750 range extender is the top-of-the line range extender from TP-LINK. It's a device that seems great : it's big, with an unusual look, promising specifications and a rather high price tag. We tested it for about a week, in which we analyzed the user experience offered by this range extender and its wireless networking performance. Read this review to see whether this range extender is a

Reviewing the Edimax IC-7113W Smart Network Camera

  • review
  • Radu Tyrsina
Edimax is one of the few budget-oriented manufacturers of smart devices for your home. Its products focus more on affordable prices and useful features and less on high-end specs or premium materials. Today we take a look at one of their newest network cameras, the IC-7113W Smart HD Wi-Fi Pan/Tilt Network Camera with Temperature & Humidity Sensor. Apparently, Edimax likes to put as many specs as possible in the product

  • review
  • Radu Tyrsina
ASUS RT-AC1200G+ is the newest addition in ASUS's portfolio of affordable wireless routers that cost 100 USD or less. If you look at its specs, it doesn't seem spectacular and its looks are ordinary too. But, for people on a budget, these factors are anything but important. What's more important is what you get in terms of networking performance and features. And boy, we were in for a great surprise:

Wearable technology is getting more important nowadays, as all of our everyday objects are getting smart. While we're still far from having helmets with HUDs and the like, the smartwatches have been around for a while and are now much more than simple toys. Vector Watch, the company behind the smartwatch we're reviewing, is a relative newcomer to this game, and has a different approach to this type of product

Reviewing the TP-LINK Archer C7 - Here's what a 100 USD wireless router can do!

  • review
  • Radu Tyrsina
TP-LINK Archer C7 has been launched for more than a year and it's one of the few wireless routers with a strong reputation on the market. This is the reason why we wanted to test it, so late after its launch. Its price has plunged in recent months and it's one of the most popular wireless routers in the 100 USD price-range. We tested the TP-LINK Archer C7 for two

  • review
  • Radu Tyrsina
Over the last few years, smartphones have evolved with a mind boggling speed. They went all the way from having screens of 3 or 4 inches, single core processors and maximum 512MB of RAM memory, to having screens of 5 inches or more, quad core processors and at least 1GB of RAM. And let's not get started about the capabilities of their cameras and how many megapixels they pack. While

ASUS RT-AC5300 was unveiled at the end of 2015 and it is now being launched in markets worldwide. It's a wireless router that made the news mostly because of its looks.

From such an alliance came to life the Motorola Nexus 6 - a high-end smartphone with a clean and unaltered Android on it. It's a big smartphone with a large 6 inch display, powerful hardware inside and with lots of interesting promises for the end user. We've had the Nexus 6 in our hands

If you are an Android user like many of us, you probably already know that the high degree of customizability of the operating system and the huge selection of free apps available also means that using this platform means a higher security risk. Fortunately there is also a high number of security products available for Android: some really good, some not that much. If you want to know more about

The world is changing and we are becoming more mobile each day. It's only natural that our devices are also evolving in the same direction as we are.

Reviewing the Trust Universal Stand for Tablets

  • review
  • Radu Tyrsina
If there's one thing we don't like about the tablet world it's that there are many tablet stands that are customized to work with a tablet of one specific size, but there are very few stands that work with tablets of different sizes. Recently, we felt the need for a stand that we could use for tablets that ranged between 7 inches and 12 inches and we were surprised to

  • review
  • Radu Tyrsina
Whenever you think of ASUS, the first thing that comes into your mind might not be their line of smartphones. Although the Taiwanese electronics company is mostly known for their notebooks and computer hardware, they manufacture smartphones and tablets as well. We managed to get our hands on one of their latest mid-range smartphones, the ASUS ZenFone Selfie, an Android device created mostly for teens and the selfie-generation. Let's see
