Draytek Vigor 2952 SMB router overview
Routers may appear to be a dime a dozen in the consumer space. Many small businesses might be tempted with something like the excellent Linksys EA9500 with its fast WiFi and eight Ethernet ports, but it won’t be suited to many, advanced business needs. This is where you start needing to look at Draytek and, in particular the Vigor 2952.

Cisco’s amazing new office design
We visited Cisco’s new Office in North Sydney. And we were envious.

Netgear Nighthawk X10 AD7200 Smart WiFi Router goes all the way to 11
The new router sports 802.11ac and 802.11ad, a built-in Plex server, 10Gbps networking, and bonded gigabit Ethernet.
Linksys EA9500 Max-Stream AC5400 MU-MIMO Gigabit router review
Linksys’ latest looks a bit like a massive upturned spider which can be a bit disconcerting in low-light and shadow-rich environments. It’s no looker, although the LED lights on the front have a certain Knight Rider quality to them.
