A new technical write-up details how to automate the testing of Wi-Fi provisioning on the ESP32 microcontroller, a common pain point for embedded developers since setup flows often involve phone apps and routers that are hard to test by hand. The guide walks through the tooling and approach, and it is drawing attention from engineers interested in making firmware testing more reliable and repeatable.

Digital Trends has published a roundup of five discounted routers, arguing that upgrading your router is a smarter first step than paying your internet provider for a faster plan. The piece suggests many slow-home-network problems come from outdated equipment, not insufficient bandwidth from the ISP. It is part of a wave of consumer advice urging people to check their home hardware before spending more on monthly bills.
