Can you still use your router if it doesn't get firmware updates? - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It won't stop working, but newly discovered security flaws may go unfixed. So long as the hardware is healthy, a router will continue connecting your devices to the internet long after the manufacturer stops releasing firmware updates. There's no built-in kill switch outside of eventual hardware failure that will silence your router forever. Unfortunately, once firmware updates cease to be a regular thing, your router loses its most dependable attribute for fixing newly-discovered security flaws
Why Wi-Fi extenders simply aren't worth buying in 2026 - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A single extender might fix a dead zone, but can't compete with better network tech. A Wi-Fi extender is generally the cheapest fix for rooms that can't pick up a strong Wi-Fi connection from your router. They're common and easy to set up, but the catch is that an extender can't magically create a strong signal out of a weak one.

While most good power banks can theoretically extend your laptop's runtime by providing a small amount of charge, a proper laptop power bank will store enough energy and charge faster than the battery drains. Two values explain the experience you'll have: watt-hours (Wh) for capacity and watts (W) for output. Power banks provide their capacities in milliamp-hours (mAh), but for a proper measure of capacity across devices
How high is too high for speakers in your home sound system? - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Too much height makes dialogue and fine details sound less direct. Setting up a home sound system is an exciting prospect, but can be surprisingly complicated. Physics, it seems, has its own opinion on where and how high your speakers should be. Every room is different, and though most are roughly rectangular or square, you still have to contend with different sizes and furniture layouts.
