Today we launched a new version of SmallNetBuilder that we hope provides an even better reader experience.
For some time, I have been meaning to consolidate the Tutorial and Features categories in each section. Well, I finally did it.
You might have noticed that our RSS feeds were not updating last week. This was due to their accidental deletion during a site update. They are back now and sorry for the inconvenience. Please let us know if you experience any other problems with the feeds.
In response to reader feedback, we have disabled the article Comments feature. All article discussion has now been moved to the SmallNetBuilder Forums.
The response to my previous post indicates that there is support for Forums. So...they're up!
Fridays are usually my day to do site housekeeping, which includes thinking about ways to improve SmallNetBuilder. Adding discussion forums has always been something that has been on the back burner, but I've never pulled the trigger.
Sorry that there was nothing new posted today, but I spent all day grinding through the Cheap Draft 802.11n Router Roundup that will go up sometime Friday.
You may have been experiencing problems reaching the site over the past few days. We're having some hosting problems and are trying to work through the issues.
In the meantime, if you reach a blank or error page, you haven't done anything wrong! Just try the page again and you will probably reach it.
Thanks for your patience and we're sorry for the problem.
Update 4/7/08 5PM E.D.T. We think we have found the problem and things should be running more smoothly. But please let us know if you experience any problems.
We take a look at how five Wi-Fi 6 routers perform with a Wi-Fi 6 client.
Updated - Our first look at the performance of NETGEAR's RAX80 and ASUS' RT-AX88U shows little benefit functioning as AC routers.
Updated - 160 MHz channel bandwidth is an essential feature of 802.11ax. We take a look at whether it means trouble for your 11ac network.
Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes when Wi-Fi devices roam, or more likely don't? We'll show you why the "seamless" roaming Wi-Fi gear makers promise is still as elusive as a Yeti.
