Review We like the Panasonic KX-TGE445B, but it's no longer available to buy, so have reflected this in our updated review.

Review This is an older model of AT&T phone, so you'll struggle to actually buy it nowadays. And it was nothing special anyway.

Review The VTech CS5119 is a basic model, but it's ultra-cheap, so is fine if you just need a cordless phone for the lowest price.

The iPhone 7 Plus might be out of the spotlight, but it's still a great choice for seniors thanks to its ease of use and long life battery.

REVIEW The Apple iPhone 6s is one of the older iPhones, but it's neat and cheap while still offering some of Apple's best features.

Review The Plantronics Voyager 3200 is a compact Bluetooth mono headset.

Review The iPhone 6 is old technology now, but its a decent super budget option that you can pick up for dirt cheap.

The D-Link DAP 1720 is a disappointing Wi-Fi range extender. We found that the 10 Wi-Fi range extenders we tested fell into three performance tiers. Products like the TP-Link RE450 did very well and maintained consistently high speeds in the extended network.

When you compare the Netgear EX6150v2 to other Wi-Fi range extenders, it seems pretty much the same as any other AC1200 wall plug extender.

We were generally disappointed with the Netgear EX6120’s performance in our tests.

The Amped Wireless RE1750A is one of two desktop Wi-Fi extenders we tested, as all others were of the wall plug variety. In our evaluations, we found that desktop devices have two distinct advantages over their plug-in counterparts: more ports and more placement flexibility.

The Netgear EX6200 is a striking device. Its red and black color scheme and triangular ventilation holes give it a more punk rock look, whereas the rest of Wi-Fi extenders we tested are sleek and white. In addition to looking cool, the EX6200’s design is versatile.

Three products from TP-Link rank as our top three Wi-Fi Extenders due to spectacular performances in testing. Of the three, the RE650 is the latest and has the fastest theoretical speeds. For most home networks, however, it’s overkill.

The TP-Link RE450 is the best overall Wi-Fi extender because of its stellar network-enhancing performance. In our tests, the RE450 performed the most consistently well across multiple runs of our five setups.

The TP-Link RE305 AC1200 is both one of the least expensive and one of the best-performing Wi-Fi extenders we tested. Its helpful setup features and easy-to-use Tether mobile app make it our best value pick.

To test cable modems, we connected each to our network using Comcast Xfinity’s 400 Mbps speed plan.

If your internet subscription advertises speeds up to 300 Mbps or less, the Netgear CM500 is a great cable modem that performs as well as other, more expensive products we tested.

We tested ten of the best cable modems under $120, and the TP-Link TC7650 proved itself as a first-rate networking device.

If you’re short on space, the tiny Motorola MB7420 is the best compact modem we tested.

The Netgear CM600 is a high-speed cable modem capable of handling streaming, gaming and multiple devices without a hitch. It uses channel-bonding technology in its 24 downstream and eight upstream channels for faster, more efficient data transfers.

Of the products we tested, the Asus CM-16 is probably the nicest-looking cable modem. Its compact body stands upright with a sleek front and subtly patterned side panels.
