good speed and Wi Fi coverage
on December 11, 2020
Posted by: Sasha
Verified Purchase:Yes
It worked well, but not any better than my AT&T-installed modem/router. (for Gigabit Fiber connection). I was hoping this one will by far outperform in Wi-Fi coverage distance, at least, and hopefully, in speed, too.
I would definitely buy it for the way it worked/performed, but since it was not better than what I already had, I returned it.

The best TV I've ever "experienced"
on August 2, 2020
Posted by: Sasha
Verified Purchase:Yes
Read lots of reviews on BestBuy as well as Amazon, and also read professionals' reviews - I expected a lot from this TV, and I was not disappointed!
Got the 77" one. The picture quality, even just watching over-the-air local news, is just incredible! It's like a whole new level of experience... just really, really blown away by the picture and sound on this TV! Have not seen ANYTHING yet (after the first 2 weeks) that I could mention as something below what I had expected (based on reviews) or that I could mention as a "minus".
For specific details/numbers see other reviews (luckily, lots of people discussed them already). I am posting just to share my experience and opinion - this is The Best TV!

best backyard addition I ever bought

Posted by: Sasha
Verified Purchase:Yes
Looks very, very good. Sturdy, high quality made. Flames can be adjusted (higher and lower). A single propane tank lasts for several months even with every-day usage and high flames. Create a great atmosphere! In cold months - generates A LOT of heat - can sit next to it and enjoy w/o getting dressed even when there's snow on the ground. Love this thing!

easy setup, great picture quality
on July 25, 2020
Posted by: Sasha
Verified Purchase:Yes
Got this TV for my kids, mainly to watch streaming media. Set up was very simple or quick - the menu on TV guides you through all the steps (and each time gives you and option to skip the step until later). Connecting TV to my home WiFi was very simple and quick. TV gave me useful options for additional "Roku Channels" to add as part of the setup. After 3 or so minutes of me clicking through setup minutes my kids were watching their Netflix shows already. Picture settings menu was easy to understand, but TV looked good out-of-the box (all I did was changed picture from "cold" to "normal"), and left all other settings as they were. Given the low price and the large size of this TV I am definitely happy with this purchase.

Majorly Disappointed

Turns out this drive has only 115GB available to actually use. Yes, on sale but be prepared to lose 13GB.

hahaha = no, it's all good, man - that's just how the advertisement industry works - it's always like that and is not an issue with this specific drive. In computer terms, 1 GB is 1024 MB, but advertisers figured a long time ago that they can just use a layman notion of 1 Gig is 1000 Megs - that's why you see this difference in what they advertise and what your computer tells you. Hope this helps. You were NOT cheated :)

an excellent device, but needs a better battery
By Sasha
Love the watch - supported functions, looks, weight, size -- all are great, EXCEPT its battery life... this is still a new toy to me so I mess with all kinds of functions and settings all through the day, and in such frequent-usage case, I am having to recharge the watch at most after 36 hours (usually I end up recharging every 30 or so hours). Before this I had a Garmin device - it would last almost a week w/o me having to recharge it.
But still, I am very happy with this watch, do recommend it, and would buy it again myself.

Hi! I have a 1 Gbs Fiber AT&T connection and must use their ARRIS BGW210 modem(+router+wifi) box. Looking for an advice on how to reconfigure AT&T BGW210 box to get it out of the picture (as much as possible) and get the most from this Linksys AC3000 box?

What is the MB/s write speed? Your specs show 3400 MB/s read speed, but nothing about the write speed!

I have seen it go over 2200, and I have a 7yo motherboard and CPU. So I would guess it can actually write a lot faster

Found the answer - I need to switch my AT&T box to "IP Passthrough" mode! Then I plug my new router into that AT&T box and my router gets the public/WAN IP and does all the work for handling my home network. FINALLY got rid of that AT&T thing (I hated it - it won't even let you set your own DNS IPs and forces you to use AT&T's - I confirmed that fact with AT&T support)

Here are the details for reconfiguring AT&T box:
