The dedicated gaming port on RT-AX86U Pro automatically prioritizes any wired device connected to it. No complex configuration is needed, just connect your gaming PC or console to the special LAN port to give you a fast, stable connection that's always at the head of the queue.

Good device and easy to set up
on March 22, 2024
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been using another brand for some years now but when that one gave out I decided to try something different and I was not disappointed so far. Although I've only had this item in the loop now for a few weeks I find that there is more control and consistency with connections for all my smart devices and tablets and computers and you name it. It was easy to set up and getting into the router to change how things run was great and there are so many choices on how to use it that it made it easy to get the configuration I needed and wanted. Connecting my external hard drive was a little cumbersome but once connected it had a stable connection and works great, Overall it's working great for my needs at this time and I hope it continues to run well into the future.

Great cover to go with the tablet
on December 9, 2023
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Cover seems sturdy and fits very well on the Tab A. The cover flips up and becomes a stand with magnet holds for two angles. It looks good if you're above it slightly like when standing and it's on the table and when sitting it can be adjusted to view easily at the other angle. It is very clean looking and smooth with a slightly textured surface that makes it easier to hold on to when carrying.

Good look and good screen
on December 9, 2023
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall it isn't a bad tablet. The screen is bright and large but the programs act funny sometimes on the screen when you have it sitting on the table with the longer width horizontal. Some programs automatically rotate into portrait mode (long edge vertical) and then you have to turn the tablet to view those programs. When the tablet is vertical the camera is along the right edge and makes it very awkward to use in that direction. If you have the tablet in landscape mode then the camera is on top and much easier to use. It may just be a learning curve since I've always had the tab A 8" screen and it would always be used in the portrait mode. This one is also a bit heavier than the one it replaced but that wasn't a deal breaker. The battery seems to die faster than my previous tablets as well and it happens even when I'm not using the table and it's been closed. My older Samsung would hold a charge for days if I didn't use it much, this one is good for a little over one day only then it needs charging. It may just need some performance tweaks but I haven't found the right one yet.

Good hoses that work
on July 9, 2023
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
These are a required item to get the install done for the washer. It is also a good thing to change out since the rubber hoses or even these do deteriorate over time when in use. The last ones I had for 18 years even though it's recommended to be changed after 5 years.

Smart watch works good
on July 9, 2023
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Have been looking at these for a long time and wanted to get one. Finally got this one and it seems to be a good device. I have always hated the bands that come with them but found you can change them pretty easily and cheaply. I ordered the new band even befor getting the watch which was great. The device itself has many things I want to keep track of and it was pretty easy to set up most things such as email , notifications, etc. The one thing I was unable to set up was the ECG traking. For some reason when you go to set it up and it links to the phone it says it doesn't like the browser and I should use Chrome but it's open in Chrome. Not really a big issue it's just another fun thing to have. I haven't had a chance to set it up with LTE yet through my carrier but as long as the phone is close by I can get texts and make and answer calls so that works for me. It does have some proprietary thing that you need a Samsung phone to use and I don't have a Samsung phone so I'm out of luck there unless I can find some other way of using those items. It's nothing major anyway. Watch faces were easy to change and most are free to use which is nice, Found one with weather, steps, battery and date besides the time of course. Still pretty new and getting used to using it but it seems to be a good device.

The size I needed and works well in my laptop without any lagging. As I would suspect this is a good product from Samsung and should last very well moving forward.

Decent machine and seems to work
on July 9, 2023
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Right now I'm going with good and I hope it stays that way throughout the life of the washer. It isn't anything special and performs as all the other models on the market. I doesn't have that old time solid feel of a washer and I'm hoping it last for at least 10 years. So far it is doing well and washes the clothes that I have put in it pretty well. It does take some getting used to at first as it isn't like the old washers that fill up and then run. This one kind of fills a little then runs then fills up more then runs and so on until it's comfortable with the amount of water it has in the tub. The controls are simple enough but even at that my older mother has trouble with how this operates, not sure if it's just still too new or she's going to have trouble moving forward, time will tell on that one. I've explained several times and I foresee explaining more times that the buttons aren't push buttons but touch enabled. The other one is to start the washer that you have to touch the on button until the countdown ends and the machine starts. Not sure why this is programmed like that but I even feel it is an annoyance. Touching start should just start the machine without that lag. Overall right now I would say it's a good machine but we've only had it for a few weeks at the time of this writing.

Memory cards are fantastic at expanding storage on your camera, tablet or smartphone, but what do you do when the memory card itself is low on space? Transfer data off SD, Micro SD, Compact Flash and other memory cards with this Platinum memory card reader. Its USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface quickly backs up, transfers, and copies images, videos and other files, so you can move data between devices. A plug-and-play design lets you start transferring right away. Plus, multi-LUN technology reads and writes multiple cards at the same time, making your work go even faster. The included USB-C to USB adapter lets you connect to devices with USB ports. Don~t let a full memory card stop you. Free up space for the next big project with the Platinum USB 3.2 Gen 1 SD, microSD, CF 3 Slot Memory Card Reader.

Needed a card reader for my new system and this one fits the bill perfectly. I plugged it in a rear port and the wire allows it to be on top of the case and not in the way. It works as it should and it isn't very big so it's not in the way.

OK modem with slight flaws
on November 9, 2022
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was an upgrade from an older Arris model. I had been having trouble with my network so decided after 5 years to bring in the newer technology. I got this modem and a new router. The modem is almost exactly the same size shape and works pretty much the same other than the newer DOCSIS 3.1 as opposed to the 3.0 version. It also increased my upstream and downstream channels which you would think makes it better. I really haven't seen that much of a difference as my connection still only has 300 Mbps which is fine for my needs. I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the fact that you can't access the modem from your computer any longer if you go through your router. I have everything set up the same as the only devices but now if you type in the IP for the router in a browser you get a time out. The only was to do it is to disconnect everything and use a separate line directly to the modem to view the status and other menu items. Very troublesome when you have to troubleshoot any issues.

Customize your gaming rig with this PNY GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER graphics card. The 4GB of GDDR6 memory and 1280 CUDA processing cores let you play modern games smoothly, while the DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-D ports offer flexible connectivity to UHD monitors. This PNY GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER graphics card has NVIDIA Ansel technology for capturing quality in-game screenshots, and the NVIDIA Turing architecture delivers ultra-realistic visuals.
 

Does this item work with the dell optiplex 9020 mini tower

I looked up the system and it appears that it might work in that case on that motherboard. Get the Dell service manual and check on the upgrade part to be sure.

Will this work with a HP Pavillion 590-p0086? It has a 310 w power supply. Will it fit in the bay?

Not familiar with that model of HP computer so I looked it up and the specs I saw would have to make me say yes it would work. However, 310Watts is kind of pushing it to the limit. It may work depending on many other factors and components in the case that are drawing power. You'll need a six pin connector for the card itself and the specs for the card say it will be pulling 100watts on it's own. It looks like a very small tower and the motherboard pictured appears to have only one PCIe-x16 slot that is mounted very close to what appears to be USB ports that are on board. You would have to check with HP to get the tech manual that machine to see if it can accommodate a double width video card without hitting the ports. Hope this help a little, without seeing it I'm not sure how accurate this information is for you.

Enjoy enhanced viewing with this 32-inch Samsung monitor. The widescreen display lets you browse multiple windows and applications comfortably, and the upscaling technology boosts the clarity of lower resolutions to match UHD-level picture quality. This Samsung monitor uses AMD FreeSync technology to maintain a consistent refresh rate for smooth visual performance.Supporting a billion shades of color, the UJ59 delivers incredibly vivid and realistic images. Its greater accuracy means colors appear more natural and true to life, making the UJ59 ideal for photo, video and graphics applications.
 

If the monitor run in 4k 60hrz can it run in 2k 144 or 165 or 120 hrz

Doesn't appear that it is possible to run that refresh rate. The highest it goes is 75hz on some of the lowest resolutions. This was using a GTX1650Super as a video card.

Echo Show 8 connects to Alexa to give you rich stereo sound with vivid visuals on an 8" HD screen. Set alarms and timers, display your favorite photos, check weather and traffic as you head out, or catch up on news highlights and movie trailers. Connect with your favorite people by making hands-free video calls to the Alexa app or another Echo with a screen, use Announcements to send voice messages to every room with a supported Echo device, or use Drop In as a two-way intercom between rooms.
 

Can you set two alarm times for M-F only?

You can set as many alarms as you would like. I don't believe there is a limit but there are times I have 6-8 alarms set for different thing and it works fine. I do however set them in the app after the first one (you have to use the device for one) then you have a bit more control and can see better what you are setting. You can do them all on the device I just find it easier in the app.

Does the "drop in" feature work with this device? If so, can any friend or family drop in?

Drop in works fine and you can approve anyone you want to be able to drop in.

Can a second voice recognition be added, and if so how can this be done.

The three people in my house use the same devices and there is never an issue with it understanding everyone. It always asks to learn my voice better but I refuse her. She works fine though whoever talks to her.

Can this be used like a digital photo frame?

You can display photos from your Amazon photos but there are drawbacks. There is always other things on the screen no matter how you have the setting adjusted. It is not a true digital picture frame.

Will I be able to control my thermostats with this? Echo 8 show

Depends on your Thermostats. I have mine connected to the show and it seems to work well for the major functions. Turn up, turn down, change mode. The interface between my Honeywell and Alexa is limited but it works fine.

Store files securely on this 1TB Samsung portable SSD. It transfers data at speeds of up to 540MB/s for increased work productivity, and it connects to Android smart phones with a downloadable app, so you can backup pictures and music. This Samsung portable SSD is smaller than a standard business card for easy transport.
 

My husband has a desktop Dell. How much data will this external hard drive hold? Also, will it connect to his Dell? We have a lot of pictures saved on the Dell and would like to unload them. We are not that computer savvy? Thanks.

I use this for my entire catalog of photos in Lightroom and there is only about half the drive space taken up. Not sure how many photos you're talking about and being a non static number for the size, as every photo is different, then it it hard to say if 1TB will store all your photos. I can tell you I have 230,000 and most are taken in a RAW format by the camera and those are the ones I have on this drive that is now half full. You can also connect this to your Dell desktop without worry. I myself have a Dell and I use it regularly with this drive. You plug it into your USB port on the computer and you should see it in your file manager very shortly after that. (takes a few moment s to read and or set itself up). Hope everything works out for you and you get the storage space you need.

Does this work with the included Type C to C cable on the 2019 iMAC's Thunderbolt port? There also is a Type A to C cable included, but want to know if C2C works?

Since I don't have the iMac I can't be sure but it should connect. However the two are not always compatible and there are differences. The only way to know for sure is to either ask Samsung or Apple if this combination will work. The ports looks similar but the technology can be very different depending on how it's implemented. Hope you get this figured out good luck!
