WITH THE PERFORMANCE goodies like 6GHz transmissions and 320MHz data channels that Wi-Fi 7 has to offer, Netgear’s Nighthawk RS700S has the power to speed up just about any network. Easy to set up and modify, the tri-band RS700’s real worth is its throughput at mid-range distances, meaning that it’s a great upgrade for a modest-sized home (around 3,500 square feet).
It can be expensive to join the cutting edge, however. At $700, it’s $100 more than the TP-Link Archer BE800, and is the same price as the Archer BE900, but lacks either’s physical info screens. Netgear’s Armor security is excellent and a free year is included, but it adds over $100 a year to ownership costs after that.
The RS700S is unique when it comes to looks, with a black vertical tower design that has chrome accents at its vents. Its six-sided profile looks like a triangular prism with its corners blunted. At 11.1 x 5.6 x 4.9 inches, it’s large, but actually quite a bit smaller than other Wi-Fi 7 routers, like the TP-Link Archer BE800.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
