If you are curious whether Ubiquiti ditched the fan on the new U7 Pro Max, well, I have some bad news for you. I opened the device and this is the teardown video.
Propaganda? Judging by the number of downvotes, I assume people didn't even bother watching a 5 minutes video. Set it on 2x speed.
Well...the domestic routers also conduct in heavy data collection and some have technical backdoors, so I don't know.
Some data is definitely collected especially if the router is made for mainland China.
I don't know about evil, but it's curious to see that the OS that Xiaomi uses is a modified version of OpenWRT, so the support could have been there. I mean it could still be an option in the future.
Ladies and gentle gents, I give you yet another marvelous router review, this time from China (hopefully with the doors closed in the back)
I had some very bad experience with their software over the years and I admit I haven't tested their new line yet. Has it gotten better?
Skip the gloomy tech news a bit and just enjoy some good ol' router reviews with tests and stuff.
And the AI will? It will use all websites to give you the info. It doesn’t think, it spins.
I don't deny the usefulness aspect of AI. I used it recently to increase the resolution of a video. It's awesome. But when it's used to replace info search, art, music.. Just why?
I mean, sure, as long as you're keeping the data locally. Otherwise, yikes.
Then why not use an ad-blocker? It's not wise to think you're getting the right information when you can't verify the sources. Like I said, at least for me, the trust me bro aspect doesn't cut it.
This may be an unpopular opinnion.. Let me get this straight. We get big tech corporations to read the articles of the web and then summarize to me, the user the info I am looking for. Sounds cool, right? Yeah, except that why in the everloving duck would I trust Google, Microsoft, Apple or Meta to give me the correct info, unbiased and not curated? The past experiences all show that they will not do the right thing. So why is everyone so OK with what's going on? I just heard that Google may intend to remove sources. Great, so it's like trust me bro.
I got two BE200 adapters and both are non-vPro. I did not know about the AMD systems bug, I thought it's just basic driver incompatibility. So I will look a bit more into it.
Some Qualcomm adapters do work with Linux, those that were available last year. The MSI does not seem to work with anything else than Windows 11 at the moment.
Can you please provide a link to the Intel WiFi 7 adapter that does work with AMD systems? I would really like to test it asap.
I tested the Intel BE200 and the Qualcomm NCM865 using the EnGenius ECW536 and these are the results that I got.
I am getting a lot of mixed signals here. Then I will continue posting reviews of wireless routers, I guess.. I will also answer questions about the review itself.
Alright, alright. I will not be posting any wireless router reviews on Technology anymore..
I used an Intel pc. I did try on AMD, but the WiFi adapter doesn’t get detected.
Thank you for your advice. I will try to do better.
I know about his video. He got a better performance with a Qualcomm-based WiFi adapter. Until MSI has made one available a few days ago, there was only the BE200 on the market.
I agree that it should have been an article, but Google doesn't really care for such websites (I tried, trust me), so I had to make it in video format. And it's not so much the Wi-Fi 7 which is still in development mode, but the only available PCI adapter which works like ass..
Sure, fair enough. But the video it still about the disappointing BE200 performance. I really wished to discuss about that, not some image, but here we are.
If you were planning to get an Intel WiFi 7 PCI adapter, watch this video first. I checked the single-client throughput using both BE200 and a WiFi 6E adapter. And the results were .... underwhelming.
It seems that Intel is gatekeeping WiFi 7 and I analyzed the options that we currently have.
I recently finished testing the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro and you can see for yourself the results that I got.
But this is not entirely the point of this post. The problem is that the search engines have become weird, so I need to ask you, the user, if this type of content is useful.
So please let me know if the type of tests that I ran are useful and clear enough. If I can add something or need to remove specific info.
I also intend to move towards video format and to be honest, translating all this written info into a comprehensive video is incredibly overwhelming.
Which is why I need your advice about what needs to be improved. Thank you!
I asked this same question on Reddit and I got zero engagement, so perhaps Lemmy has people that care more about their hardware.
I recently decided to use some of the tools provided by Mr Salter (netburn) and I have to ask the community if you want to see multi-client stress tests (4K streaming, VoIP, web browsing) used on a wireless router or if the single-client iperf tests are good enough. Bear in mind that pretty much all publications that still test their devices (most don't) rely on the single-client test method.
