Early Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) routers have been out for months, but Wi-Fi 6 clients have been and still are few and far between. We finally got our hands on a laptop equipped with an 802.11ax network adapter and set about testing a couple of Wi-Fi 6 routers, including the Netgear Nighthawk AX12 12-Stream Wi-Fi 6 Router (RAX120), […]
A couple of years back, the PCMag hardware team set out to complete a live build of a $1,000 gaming desktop. We wanted to make it powerful and keep the price reasonable, though of course we still felt the need to accessorize it and pour on a bit of bling. And bling by modern desktop-PC […]

We’ve seen no sign of any inappropriate use of private […]

Wi-Fi router installation utilities have become easier to use over the years, but getting the best out of your new router usually means delving a little deeper than the standard installation routine will go.

Once upon a time, you only had to remember one or two passwords. Your date of birth or pet’s name did the trick—no special characters, numbers, or 12-letter minimum required.
