Works very well once set up

The instructions supplied for this router were very easy to implement. Once I got the router going, it was easy to set a password for wireless network and name the network using the supplied software. The router puts out consistent speed in our house through walls and from the main floor to the basement on the opposite side of the house. I can even get a decent signal from my detached garage which is 40 feet away from the router and through aluminum siding.
The only qualm I have had with the router has been that it is difficult to add an external hard drive to use as a time capsule for my macbook. The macbook has a hard time connecting to the router for this purpose, and it makes me put the password into the device each and every time it wants to connect. I am not sure if this is the Apple software, or the router's issue, but if you have a macbook and you are planning on using this in conjunction with an external hard drive, it is something you should be aware of.
For daily internet use with multiple devices on both bands though, this router works flawlessly, I have not had to reset it once, and our speed has been consistently excellent since we have been using it. I would not hesitate to use it for console gaming or heavy duty streaming.

Fast Data transfer over USB 3.0

I bought this to hook up to a router and to use as Time Capsule for my Macbook. The flash drive works great and the data transfer over the USB 3.0 is incredibly fast. It works just as a flash drive should, fast and easy!

Excellent way to decrease clutter

I love electronics, and my wife could care less... So we have a ton of different devices hooked up to our TV, and usually she just wants to use the one that she can watch netflix or hbogo on (which in this case is our AppleTV.) Since we have a tv, receiver, an xbox one, etc, there were a lot of remotes on our coffee table. This remote eliminated the need for those!
I followed the directions on the set up to program a Samsung 50 inch 4K tv, an Apple TV (3rd Gen.), a Comcast X1 box, a Samsung Blu-ray Player, and Onkyo TX-NR636 7.2 receiver, an Xbox 360, and an Xbox One all using this one remote.
All of the devices work great, the remote has a lot of common buttons, and it is very intuitive as far as what each button function does for each device.
The battery also lasts a very long time, and after purchasing it in November, I have only charged it once.
The only issue I have had with it, is that if my wife or I forget to make sure it is pointing at the devices once you begin the activity, it will not completely turn on what you need it to. So just make sure you keep it pointed at your devices when you power it on!
It is truly a great remote!

Excellent printer for basic use

I purchased this printer for my wife and I to use for printing basic things like movie tickets and for her to print crafting patterns for knitting and cross stitching. So far it has been wonderful.
It had a very easy setup, I just followed the directions and set it up in our basement. Our router is in out living room, and since we have a small house, we didn't want a desk or a printer sitting there taking up what little space we have. The wireless printing works great, and I can print from my iPhone, iPad, or my macbook no problem.
So far we have been very happy with it, I especially like that it can print on both sides of a page, that is a really cool feature for a home printer!!
