Dell PowerEdge R770AP Review: Dell's Purpose-Built Answer for Latency-Sensitive Workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R770AP is not a general-purpose server, and that is entirely the point. Where most 2U dual-socket platforms chase flexibility, the R770AP strips it away, trading GPU support, mixed storage options, and raw memory capacity for the highest core density, memory bandwidth, and execution determinism available in Dell's current Intel lineup. It is a server built around a specific processor architecture for a particular class of workloads, and it makes no excuses for what it omits.

Sodola SL510S-4T2XS Review A Cheap Half-Width 6-port 10G Web Managed Switch
The Sodola SL510S-4T2XS is a neat switch because it is a low-port-count, cheap, web-managed switch. It is certainly not for everyone, but it is one we wanted to know more about, so we purchased one for $169. With four 10Gbase-T ports and two SFP+ ports, this is a neat little 6-port 10GbE switch that many will find a useful upgrade from the 4-port 2.5GbE plus two-port SFP+ switches we have reviewed.

Dell PowerEdge R4715 Review: 1U AMD EPYC Built for the Midmarket
Dell’s 17th Generation PowerEdge family is already well-established, and with the R4715 and R5715, the lineup now targets the SMB and midmarket segments more intentionally than before. Both servers are single-socket platforms built on the same 5th Generation AMD EPYC foundation as the broader 17th Gen family. They are tuned for organizations where right-sized core counts, licensing efficiency, and operational simplicity take priority over maximum throughput. The R4715 is a denser 1U model designed for virtualization, scale-out databases, and edge deployments. The R5715 moves to a 2U form factor, offering more drive bays and PCIe expansion, suitable for setups where storage capacity and I/O performance are key concerns.

Where the R4715 optimizes for compute density and core-per-rack-unit efficiency, the R5715 is built around storage capacity and I/O expandability in a 2U single-socket footprint. Readers coming from our R4715 review will find the platform fundamentals familiar: the same 5th Generation AMD EPYC processor family, the same 24-slot DDR5 memory architecture, and the same iDRAC 10 management stack.

More than 14,000 routers have been compromised in one of 2026's most widespread cyberattacks so far. Mostly targeting Asus routers, the malware known as KadNap is taking devices and turning them into a botnet for large-scale attacks. Worse, the threat has no end in sight. Cybersecurity experts say KadNap is totally decentralized, so it's hard to detect and even harder to stop. Instead of one central command center, the activity's being split up over all 14,000+ devices. This peer-to-peer setup also lets the botnet blend into normal internet traffic. That way, any malicious activity just looks like routine browsing behavior.

Ubiquiti Launches the U7 Mesh Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor Usage
Ubiquiti has released a new member of its UniFi Mesh APs, called the U7 Mesh which has a rather novel design that works both indoors and outdoors, since it's IPx6 rated. The Wi-Fi 7 access point is admittedly only dual-band, we'd guess due to the short range of the 6 GHz band, which wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to include in an outdoors AP. The U7 Mesh is an upgraded version of its U6 Mesh, which is something of an odd sidegrade, as although it has been given a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port, the 5 GHz Wi-Fi radio has been downgraded from 4x4 to 2x2.

UniFi U7 Mesh arrives: compact Wi-Fi 7, IPX6, 2.5GbE uplink
Ubiquiti has launched the UniFi U7 Mesh, a compact Wi-Fi 7 access point designed for flexible placement across indoor spaces and outdoor-adjacent locations. Unlike ceiling-only access points that assume you can run cable to the perfect spot, the U7 Mesh is built around practical deployment: it supports wall and pole mounting, includes a tabletop stand option, and carries an IPX6 weather-resistance rating intended for more demanding environments. The radio configuration targets mainstream UniFi users who want Wi-Fi 7 efficiency without moving to a tri-band 6 GHz design.

ASUS ROG Wi-Fi 8 Demo Unit: 8 Antennas + 3 LAN Ports, Also New ProArt Networking Devices
ASUS has used CES as a launch platform for many of its new Wi-Fi router products over the years, although this year it brought what it calls a demo system, rather than something that is ready for launch later this year. The ROG NeoCore Wi-Fi 8 router looks like something out of a Sci-Fi movie, and it really stands out compared to every other router we've ever seen. Due to the fact that Wi-Fi 8 isn't expected to be ratified until 2028, we might have to wait a while before we know if the NeoCore will become a retail product or not.

Memory Makers Prioritize Server Applications, Driving Across-the-Board Price Increases in 1Q26
TrendForce's latest investigations indicate that DRAM suppliers in 1Q26 will continue to reallocate advanced process nodes and new capacity toward server and HBM products to support rising AI server demand. This shift has significantly limited supply in other markets, causing conventional DRAM contract prices to increase by about 55-60% QoQ. Meanwhile, disciplined capacity management by NAND Flash suppliers, along with robust server demand that is displacing other applications, is likely to increase contract prices across all NAND Flash product categories by 33-38%.

While the two share a lot in common, there are some significant differences in their implementations that will be worth highlighting. For example, we thought they would use the same Marvell Prestera chips. While they use the same PHY chips, they actually seem to be using different switch chips.

A New Algorithm Beats Dijkstra's Time For The Shortest Path To Any Point In A Network
When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant refining it to finding the shortest routes to all other nodes from a single source node. This would prove incredibly useful as computer networks expanded and evolved into the internet we all know and love. It says a lot about the algorithm that it's still widely used in modern networks and is integrated into the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol, which uses Dijkstra's Shortest Path First algorithm to map efficient routes through complex networks.

This integration aims to turn tens of thousands of GPUs into a single, revenue-generating AI factory.
