ASUS - AC3100 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router
Take your smart home to the next level with this ASUS router. Boosted Wi-Fi speeds and intelligent signals streaming directly to each of your devices will keep your busy wireless network running smoothly, just the way you want.
Very good home router
Customer Rating
4.0
The dual-channel Asus AC3100 Dual-Band Wi-Fi Router does a very good job in my fairly large (about 2500 sq ft)home. It was easy to set up and produces a strong WIFI signal throughout my home. It selects the strongest 2.4GHZ channel, and sometimes chooses a 5 GHZ channel, but so far the 2.4 signal works best. With a lot of neighbor WIFI activity, my WIFI is about 20 Mb/s, good enough for most activities, and I do not do on-line gaming.

The Peripheral 12V DC Adapter was used for the installation of my Garmin DashCam55. Seemed to be a necessary item to support the power required for the Dash Cam.

I purchased the SanDisk Ultra PLUS 64GB microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card which was on sale for about $20.00, about 1/3 of the original listed price. The card handles USB2 or USB3 speed and came with an adapter to use by products that can not handle the very small (micro) storage unit. Great product at low cost.

The Hamilton Beach 12-Cup Coffeemaker is the best that I have owned. It is reasonably compact for a 12-cup brewer, has some automated features (clock and timer), and has an efficient cone-shaped brew basket which lets the water pass through the maximum amount of coffee grounds. Most importantly, the coffee taste is also excellent.

The Linksys Max-Stream™ AC2200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router has a lot of good features, but the WIFI capability, for which I mainly purchased this router, has proven to be disappointing. My ISP provides about 60 Mbits/sec into the router (per multiple tests with Speedtest, etc.) but the WIFI output speed is about 15 to 20 (max), no matter how close the computer is to the Router. I contacted Linksys support and made all their suggested adjustments, to no avail -- WIFI speed stays at the lowest rate, on any 2.4 GHz band.

The ARRIS SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem is working very well with my Linksys EA8300. With 32 downstream channels and Gigabit speed, it has increased my WIFI capability substantially. Setup was easy, and only needed to contact my cable provider to enable the modem. Item is very reliable, and price was good (on sale for less than $100).

The Garmin Dash Cam55 (1440p HD) functions extremely well, is easy to operate, and for its small size produces excellent video. The high definition model is well worth the extra cost. I had it installed at a local Best Buy store technician for a total of about $75.00. This was done in a very professional manner, with virtually all the wiring hidden behind the car panels -- well worth the cost.

The Garmin - Drive 51 LMT-S 5" GPS is very good for navigation on the road. The lifetime maps are a plus, and the "lifetime" traffic updates are good if you have a compatible device to receive the traffic conditions, but it is not a stand-alone device because of the need for a iphone or other device to capture the traffic information and then connect with bluetooth to the GPS.

SanDisk - Cruzer 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive - Black
Take a variety of digital files with you on the go with this SanDisk Cruzer SDCZ60-008G-A46 USB 2.0 flash drive, which offers an 8GB capacity for ample storage space. The USB connector retracts to help protect it from damage, helping to keep your data safe.
APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY PICTURES WILL A SAN DISK 8GB 3.0 FLASH DRIVE HOLD? NORMAL SIZE PICTURES TAKEN WITH 35MM SINGLE USE CAMERA 400 SPEED?
This is totally dependent on how many megapixels your camera is using per picture, and how much compression the camera performs. Modern small cameras use anywhere from 5 to 12 (or more) million pixels, or even higher for each picture. Divide this number into 8 Gigabytes (8,000,000,000) and you will get some idea of how many pictures can be stored. For example, using a 8 megapixel camera, the 8 GB drive should hold at least 1,000 pictures, and probably many more depending on the compression factor.

How do I delete a file that it says can't be deleted
I have a file of pictures on it that I want to delete so I can replace it with a new file. I'm using this on an automatic picture frame that displays the pictures in the file when the stick is inserted in to the frames USB port
Load the USB stick onto your computer, which should automatically display the contents using, e.g., Windows File Explorer. If the files that are displayed are in a folder, double-click the folder to open it to show you the contents. Then right-click on whatever you want to delete, such as utility programs, etc., and select delete. Then close out (e.g., x-out) the folder and (for safety of usb stick contents) select the "safely remove device" option on your computer. If you can't find the safely remove button, just remove the usb stick, and all should be ok.
