  • Netgear has a new $1,500 Wi-Fi 6e mesh router

    aumgnaumgn
    Been waiting for Netgear to offer a 6E mesh option. RBR50 had some hiccups during the first 6 months, but it has been rock solid since.

    Tried out the Linksys 6E Mesh and returned it 48 hours later. Unbelievably unstable.

    I see suggestions for Amplifi and Meraki, but it doesn’t appear that either offer 6E, can anyone confirm?

    Article says that Netgear doesn’t mention Thread, Matter, or HomeKit Secure Video. But do any current 6 or 6E mesh routers support these things?

  • Review: Elgato's Eve Energy smartplug is easy to use, but highlights HomeKit's flaws

    The title of the article mentions that this device highlights Homekit's flaws. Since when is a lack of features and unbalanced price/value the fault of the protocol in which something runs?

    This is like blaming a crappy router on the 802.11ac spec, total nonsense.

    Cons:
    • Bluetooth limits automation functions (not Homekit's fault)
    • Expensive (could partially be Homekit's fault due to the chipset limitation, but the price seems on par with competitors)
    • Just one socket, can't be used outdoors (not Homekit's fault)
