You can do much, much better than this router

Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this based on the decent reviews it had been getting and several different lists that ranked it as one of the best router options in its category currently on the market. Not sure if I got a lemon or not, but it would only give me a portion of my wireless speed (Ethernet was fine at around 100mbps (I'm only suppose to get about 75mbps), but wireless would only get up to around 27-30+mbps, even sitting right in front of the router). Mbps dropped the further I moved from the router, with no evidence of beam forming. Tried different settings and trouble shooting techniques from various sources to no avail.
Returned the router after a few days and picked up a Netgear with similar specs as this one for about the same price. The Netgear was able to consistently get 70mbps over the 2.4G wireless connection and over 90mbps on the 5G wireless connection, with no trouble shooting necessary, multiple devices wirelessly connected to the router and at various distances from the router. I originally thought the Linksys was being impacted by others who live close by that are on the 2G bandwidth, but clearly that is not the case since the Netgear worked perfectly on both 2G and 5G connections (In case you're curious, I purchased a Netgear CM600).
Seems that there is something wrong with the smart wifi features on this Linksys; buyer beware, especially if you intend to use high-speed internet service and/or need wireless coverage outside of the immediate room where your router is.

Total Life Saver! Quick Charge!
on March 28, 2016
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this in December on sale, and boy was that a great decision!
I never have to worry about running out of power on the go, and can recharge the charger using a quick charger. Its so much easier to just carry this around instead of a whole mess of cords and adapters for each of my portable devices.
Charged my cell phone from nearly total power drain + a tablet and still had all charge indicators on the device sitting at full (meaning it hadn't even used 1/4 of its power to get both devices back to maximum capacity). Biggest problem is trying to get it back from family, friends and co-workers whom I have allowed to charge their devices on it from time to time. :)
My only regret is that I did not grab it during black friday when it was even cheaper than what i got it for (was still researching/comparing it to other devices). Based on reviews of other similar devices (on this website and others), this seems to be the most reliable charger (in its capacity category) and the quickest to recharge once depleted (in its capacity category). There was one on amazon that had slightly higher capacity than this one and solid reviews, but it was stated to have almost twice the recharge time as this one, and I wanted to have my charger in hand the same day as purchased, so I went with this one (this one also has 3 charging ports, whereas the other one only had two).
Great portable charger! Tops off the charge on some of my portable devices better than the chargers they came with! I Highly recommend!

Enjoying my first Gaming Desktop!
on March 28, 2016
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted to venture into the world of desktop gaming but wanted to get something good and somewhat future-proof, and this has been the perfect buy! Compared several different pre-made riggs and this was the best overall bundle for the price with the most positive customer feedback (search across multiple electronics vendors). Purchased this as part of a pre-Black Friday sale for $399, when other similar or weaker devices were at least $600+ on the lower end (most cost even higher). One of my best purchases to date!
Easy to set up and use out the box (although it is a bit larger than I expected, especially coming from a mini-tower previously), including remote control for the internal light show that it does. Is as impressive to look at as it is to use. Has several ports and slots for future upgrades (which is perfect for me, since I can use this for several years without having to purchase a whole new rigg anytime soon), and the graphics and speed have been perfect for my uses.
You absolutely cannot go wrong with this piece of hardware. Could only do better if you build one from the ground up.

Purchased this for the flexibility since there was an angle needed for the HDMI cord on my HDTV. This did the trick and works as expected. No connectivity issues or problems. Performs exactly as expected.

Good for the Price
on November 29, 2015
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this at a discounted price, and bought it for the holster/clip more than the shell (I have a designer case on my phone). Holster is a bit bulky, but it is able to holster phone with a designer case with no problem. My previous Verizon holster/clip & case combo was thinner & could only holster the phone with the included case. If you are willing to have a slightly more bulky clip/holster, this will allow you some customization options for cases.
One con: There is a silver screw/bolt that holds the clip section of the holster together, and this was loose when I opened this product. I tightened this and have not had any problems, but I've taken a star off since I should not have had to do that to begin with. Holster works as expected.

Luv this system!
on September 20, 2015
Posted by: RedOmen
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was using a different, older 2.1 system with my new Smart HDTV when one of the satellite speakers gave way. Although the subwoofer on that system & the remaining satellite still work very well, I decided to upgrade to a whole new system. I had heard that this system was comparable to a Logitech Z2300 system that I also own & LUV to death, so I decided to give this system a try, and it sounds great! I can confidently say that you will not find a system with this kind of power in a 2.1 set-up for this price. It is the last of a disappearing breed of 2.1 systems, so I would not hesitate to grab it while you still can. Your other option would be to invest in a full-fledged entertainment system, which will definitely cost more that this.
If you like your bass to hit hard whenever it hits, this is the perfect system for you. The Logitech system I mentioned above is the only other 2.1 system that carries this kind of thumping bass and overall output power, and they do not appear to make that system anymore (outside of special order perhaps, as far as I can tell). I couldn't have asked for a better system to assimilate into my new entertainment set-up.
Bass is adjustable, and it mixes well with the sound from the satellites. The only drawback is that there are cords galore for this thing (at least in comparison to other 2.1 systems that I've owned). It could be worse I suppose, but they definitely could have streamlined the cording. Also, this system does not have a remote of any kind (corded or otherwise), so unless you can control it through whatever system you hook it up to (which is possible), you will have to manually adjust the volume & bass on the system yourself.

Rest easy knowing your home is protected, whether you're there or away with Arlo Pro 4. With no wires, your camera connects directly to your Wi-Fi network so you can easily install in minutes. Spot unique details with color night vision, and see more in dark areas with the integrated spotlight. The advanced lens provides superior image quality and a wider field of view, and allows you to track and zoom on moving objects with clarity. Hear and speak to visitors clearly with two-way audio. Receive notifications and view videos that tell you a package, person, vehicle or even an animal is detected, so you can take quick action like phone a friend, sound an alarm or call emergency services with included trial of Arlo Secure. Personalize what you get notified for and create custom activity zones to ensure you only get alerts for what matters, reducing those that are less important. Arlo Secure includes cloud recordings of video clips at 2K or lower resolution for 30 days. Renewal of an Arlo Secure plan is required to maintain Arlo Secure features, including cloud storage and activity zones.
Is the battery removable like the Arlo Pro2 or does the whole unit need to be charged?
The battery is removable, but is not designed in a way that would allow charging outside of the camera casing. However, the camera casing does use a magnetic connector that would allow you to leave the camera in place and charge without needing to reposition the camera.
It also has a magnetic base stand that would allow taking the camera from a perch without needing to dislodge the stand or undue any fastening.
There may be some sort of charger available for the battery alone, but if there is, it is not included with this camera.

does anyone know if this flash drive will download a movie that is more than 4.67 GB? I read somewhere that some drives cannot handle if file is larger than 3.0 GB? is that true for this drive? thank you for your time
I transferred 24 GB of info in a matter of minutes with this drive, so a file of less than 5 GB should not be a problem at all.

Hello! I want to add 2 monitors to my laptop. Will this product allow me to extend my display to 2 monitors with 1 hdmi port on my computer? I want to see different things on each monitor. Thank you!
No, this will only allow you to duplicate 1 source onto 2 screens. To my knowledge, there is no simple way to do what you want to do (split 1 HDMI signal into 2 separate independent signals). There may be a way to do this through USB ports, but the quality would be questionable.
If you have a laptop that is compatible with a docking station, some docking stations come with 2 HDMI ports and would potentially allow for what you are attempting to do.
Also, if you happen to have a DVI port on your laptop, there are converters for switching DVI ports to HDMI ports.
I am certainly no expert, and there could be some device relessed tomorrow that allows for what you are asking, but this is what I gathered back when I was originally researching this product about where this stands today.

Carry your gear easily with this compact Solo backpack. Constructed of heavy-duty parachute nylon, its fully padded compartments protect your laptop and tablet, and the zippered organizer and side pockets provide plenty of storage. This 17.3-inch Solo backpack has Velcro fasteners to keep accessories secure and padded straps for extra comfort.
Will the Alienware 17 R4 fit in this bag?
If it actually meSures 17.3 inches, then it should be able to fit the pouch fine. The compartment that the laptop pouch is in is even larger, and could fit a slightly larger 17+ inch laptop. If you are not sure, it might be best to visit bestbuy and try out the pouch on a similarly sized laptops (a best buy employee used a demo laptop of the same size as my gaming laptop to test out different bags for me, and not all 17.3 inch bags could fit it as the manufacturer claimed).
