We take a look at the gargantuan ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 gaming router, which supports the new 6 GHz frequency, also known as WIFI 6E. However, there is no need to be concerned since it is also compatible with 5G AX/AC and 2.4G lower bands.

Today's review is of the Asustor AS1104T 4 bay network-attached storage device(NAS). This is one of the more reasonably priced versions available from Asustor. Previously, we had the Pro model (AS3304T) available for viewing on our website. What exactly are the distinctions? The main differences were the use of 1 GB DDR4 instead of 2 GB DDR4 (both of which were not extendable), the use of two USB 3.2 Gen1 connections instead of three, and the (slightly) thinner chassis. So, what are the things that they have in common? In addition to the four HDD/SSD trays, the Realtek RTD1296 processor, a quad-core with rates in the 1.0 GHz range and the ability to turbo up to 1.4 GHz, is also included in the package.
