Not literally a IT related review but I thought I'd share my latest experience with Solar Battery Installation.

Recently, I installed a brand new Fox ESS system, a KH10 10kW single-phase inverter paired with a CQ6-L7 42kWh modular battery. And this wasn’t a blind decision either... it was a deliberate one. I’ve made this call before. Years ago, I chose a SOLIS inverter over the usual

A long overdue review of the GL-iNet Flint 3e.

The GL.iNet Flint 3e (GL-BE6500) enters the scene as a streamlined version of the Flint 3, combining Wi-Fi 7 performance with the familiar user-friendly interface shared across the Flint series and many of GL-iNet travel routers. Although the exact pricing remains unknown at the time of writing, if....

Why we don't like subscription based Doorbell solution.

Ring is what first sold me on the idea of a smart doorbell. The hardware looks good, feels solid, and the initial setup is polished enough that it gives you confidence straight away. Paired with the Ring chime, it does exactly what you expect notifications, live view, and a clean

You paid for the speed. You bought the router. Now let’s see what you’re actually getting.

Tools that show what your connection is really doing, not just what it claims Many people run a speed test, see a high figure and decide everything is fine. After that, real life shows video calls freezing, games stuttering besides Wi-Fi racing in one room yet crawling in the next.

Imagine being miles away from your PC and suddenly needing to tweak BIOS settings or install a fresh operating system. Tools like TeamViewer or AnyDesk can’t help here as they only work once the OS has booted. That’s where the GL.iNet Comet Pro (GL-RM10) steps in. The

A deep dive into one of the most capable pocket-sized network testers ever made.

From Wiremap and PoE verification to TDR and BER stress testing, I break down how the Pockethernet v1 performs in real-world troubleshooting and why it still outshines newer tools like the Netool.io Pro2. If you work in networking or IT, this is the kind of gear that actually saves your day.

When you’re always on-the-go, in a noisy server room or chasing down intermittent network faults on-site, you need a reliable network tester fast. Pockethernet is a compact, Bluetooth-enabled cable and network tester designed for field technicians who want a quick solution without lugging around b...

Stop Guessing... Test Your Cables for Real Performance

Old charger cables, “fast-charge” USB cords, mystery wires - find out which ones live up to their claims. My Treedix USB cable tester review shows you how to w**d out junk and keep only the good stuff.

Everyone has a drawer full of mystery USB cables. Some are old. Some claim to be fast. Most have no labels at all. You plug them in and just hope for the best. That guessing game ends with the Treedix USB Cable Tester. This new $69 version comes with a

Think You Don’t Need a Travel Router? Think Again.

When I tested the GL.iNet Slate 7, I discovered it’s more than just a “nice-to-have.” Fast Wi-Fi 7, built-in VPN support, and plug-and-play connectivity for 10+ devices make it ideal for work, travel or even small homes.

Picture yourself in a busy hotel café... laptop open, coffee in hand relying on the free Wi-Fi that feels dodgy. You never really know who else is connected or what’s happening behind the scenes. That’s where a travel router like the GL.iNet Slate 7 comes in. Now,

In this blog post, I'll share my upgrade experience and what the new NTD looks like.

Recently I upgraded my NBN Co Internet connection from a 250/100 Mbps plan (with Leaptel) to the new 2000/500 Mbps tier. Prior to that, I also maintained a second standby connection at 100/40 Mbps with Launtel. Because my old NTD (network termination device) was only rated to

I recently tested the GL-iNet Comet PoE Remote KVM (GL-RM1PE) and I have to say, I have high praises for this product.

For anyone managing servers without built-in out-of-band management, this device is a game changer. The Comet PoE allows me to:
- Remotely access and control servers as if I was physically in front of them.
- Reboot, troubleshoot, and manage critical systems without needing on-site visits.
- Power it easily over PoE (no messy power adaptors required).

As an IT professional, this tool fits perfectly into my day-to-day work. Many of the servers I manage don’t come with dedicated remote management, so the Comet PoE has become a reliable and cost-effective solution to keep everything running smoothly.

Big thanks to GL-iNet for letting me be part of the beta testing program. I’m really excited to keep using this device and share more real-world results soon!

When it comes to managing servers, IT professionals often run into a major challenge... the lack of out-of-band management or even something as simple as a connected monitor. Many servers, especially in small and medium business environments, don’t come with built-in IPMI, iDRAC, or iLO features. ...
