The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Tom's Hardware just publish an article comparing(bandwidth & stress) business-class AP versus homeuse AP. Of Cause, you still don't get the same functionality as the more expensive one, but it's still interesting to see the result.

    Wow, the $69 Buffalo Tech really kicked butt. That's not really surprising, though. I've seen a lot of examples in the past, and not only in the electronics arena, where paying
    more doesn't always get you more.

    There really are only a very few producers supplying 802.11 radios so it is hard for any vendor to stand out too much as they all have essentially the same core from which to work. And while it is hard to get too far ahead of the curve, it continues to amaze me how many of them find a way to fall behind it. Nice article from Toms.
