    Lenovo Thinkpad wifi card BIOS whitelist

    Hi Anyone knows if situation remains as before regarding Lenovo Thinkpad 2018 range?

    One powerful/expensive router vs multiple cheaper APs?

    Hi there! I'm trying to figure out if I should get one very powerful wifi router (something like the TP-Link AC5400 was recently on sale for $135) or two cheaper routers (2x ASUS TM AC1900s, which are selling for $55 each on sale), with one set up as an access point. I have a two story 2000sqft...

    Weird WiFi behavior

    I recently bought a new router (Tenda F300), because the old one started failing. I set it up as usual, PPPoE and everything.

    no 802.11ac in a smartphone....does it matter?

My 4 year old S4 has it so I thought it strange for a new phone not to have it also. I can't find anything about it in an reviews they just...
