Good product

Posted by: FarmerAl
Verified Purchase:Yes
Good product. I like how I can keep track of my banking and credit card accounts, as well as managing bill paying. It usually works rather well. Regular price is way too high, but since I got a deal at Best Buy it wasn’t too bad.

The drive I received is for use in Ireland!!!
on April 22, 2024
Posted by: FarmerAl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been using this for almost four months, and so far it seems to be working fine. The only issue I have with this product is that it appears to have been produced for the market in Ireland (see attached photo). When I reached out to Best Buy support, they couldn't explain why I received this particular drive, or why it was even became part of the Best Buy inventory here in the US. And, on the WD website, after I registered the product, all that is listed is under the registration is "In Warranty (out of region) and no time of warranty. I am left with hoping that I will not have any issues which I'd need warranty help with. Needless to say, in the future, I'll purchase drives from WD directly and not from Best Buy. Very poor business practice with Best Buy.

Nice TV, works great
on September 23, 2023
Posted by: FarmerAl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've owned this for well over a year and I've been enjoying using it all along. The picture quality is very nice for my viewing. I use this for viewing streaming content, Bluray/DVDs and occasionally over-the-air antenna reception. It works great with my Sony 4k disc player as well as a Roku streaming stick 4k+ and those work flawlessly connected to the tv. Antenna viewing works pretty well, too. The sound quality of the tv speakers are fine for my ears, though I do have a pair of wireless earbuds (bluetooth) which connected easily, and the tv automatically connects to them when I switch the earbuds on. It's been a great tv for the pricepoint, and I'd recommend it.

Nice tablet
on September 23, 2023
Posted by: FarmerAl
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a nice iPad. I've owned it for nearly a month and I really like it. This replaced a gen 5 iPad, which still works, but I felt the need to update, after using the previous iPad for more than 6 years. The display is very nice, and it is noticibly clearer visually and has much more vibrant color than my old iPad. I also like the USB C port. It took me a little while to get used to not having a 'home button', but I've got the hang of it now. It's much more visually appealing without the button, too. It's been a nice upgrade, indeed.

Great WiFi extender, works great
on June 24, 2023
Posted by: FarmerAl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to replace an old Linksys extender that was often losing its signal (as well as the green LED was not lighting). This device set up very easily and quickly using the 'Tether' app from TP-Link, and seems to be working fine, covering my upstairs rooms completely. The AX3000 I am using is extending a Linksys WiFi 5 router located downstairs, and I can confirm that it does work well in that capacity. I doubt that the AX3000 utilizes its WiFi 6 capability in my setup, though, which I did expect. But it does what I needed it to do, so I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Over 60 years after she first ventured into man's world, Amazon princess Diana (Gal Gadot) lived a quiet pose as a D.C. researcher... until she looked into a legendary stone reputed to grant wishes. The artifact let her restore long-lost love Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) to life-but it also turned colorless colleague Barbara Minerva (Kristen Wiig) into the predatory Cheetah, before falling into the hands of power-mad industrialist Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal). Smash sequel co-stars Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen. 151 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack; English. Two-disc set.

Nice LEGO set
on March 10, 2023
Posted by: FarmerAl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I enjoyed building this LEGO kit. Not that challenging, but still satisfying. I agree with others that this model is not very large, but it's still cool-looking and makes a nice display piece and it good for play, too. It's a little expensive for what it is, but that seems to be a trend for LEGO each year. I'd still recommend this one.

Excellent Gaming Controller
on January 20, 2023
Posted by: FarmerAl
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love these newer 'style' Xbox controllers. I really like the textured feel of the surfaces, especially the bottom of the handles and the triggers. I use Xbox wireless controllers to play games on my PC, and they've all worked great. Simple to pair to Windows Bluetooth if you want, but I use a Microsoft Xbox Wireless adaptor for Windows (purchased seperately) to connect Xbox controllers to my machine. Best Buy got this one to me in a hurry, too. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Is this compatible with a motorola AC3200?

I bet it would be. The AX3000 works well with my Linksys WiFi 5 router (AC5400) and I have great coverage on the second floor of my house. Good speeds, too, though not likely WiFi 6 speeds. I'm very pleased with mine.

Is this extender compatible with all routers?

It should be. I use my AX3000 to extend coverage of a Linksys EA9500 (AC5400 WiFi 5) and it works fine. Just don't expect the extender to utilize its WiFi 6 capability. I get great coverage with mine.

does the enthernet light on the front blink a steady blink.i only ask because my motorola 7620 blinks slow and fast?

The ethernet LED blinks according to the amount of activity. It will blink about the same as your current 7620 modem does.

What is the amount of memory, it's not listed in specs?

As far as I can tell, cable modems do not utilize memory, at least to my knowledge. That could be why it is not listed.

We have old RGB technology fished in the walls of our home. Is there an adapter for RGB? What port does it fit into if yes.

There is no adaptor included in the box to convert RGB to HDMI. You would probably need to purchase one separately, though I don't think you should necessarily expect to get a high-resolution picture using RGB technology. There may be a better choice for your needs out there, but I think most TV manufacturers are doing away with RGB connectors, currently. Good luck with your purchase decision.

Is this a flicker free monitor? Does it block the blue light?

This information from Dell should answer your question (copied from the product webpage):
