I find this router's signal penetrates walls and floors better than my older R6200 router. I'm consistently making a connection of 650 megabits or more, even through the ceiling to the router located on the second floor. This one seems worth the extra $50 or so one pays for the Nighthawk series.

With a majority of people moving toward soundbars and other external audio, I was surprised to find this set did not have any digital audio output. Unfortunately, I think the Best Buy rep was, too. We had to return this set and purchase one that does have digital audio output. It pays to double check.

I am impressed with the LG LED television sets, especially the LF5600 models (32 and 42 inch). Both have great picture and excellent sound-- much better sound that the new Samsung sets. Both are excellent buys. The only catch is they both have only two HDMI ports, a problem if you have cable, a streaming box and a DVD player. These sets do not have Smart capabilities. That is OK because I find the Smart TV sets are not keeping up with the latest streaming sites. You are much better off buying a non-smart set and buying a streaming player such as Roku or Apple TV.

We purchased this dryer to replace a Kenmore dryer we purchased in 1979-- that's right-- 1979. The Kenmore was still working, but we felt we needed to make the change so the w/d would match. The Samsung dryer is doing a wonderful job, especially with the feature that turns it off once the clothes are dry. I can only hope this one lasts as long as the Kenmore did.

Be careful about the disks being sold as "Sandisk" online. Some are not real and could be of poor construction. The disks from Best Buy are the real thing and worth paying the extra money for.

Reasonable speed. Good for duplicating other cards. This should not be the card you use in a video camera because it is too slow.

Not happy with this one. We had to return it. It vibrated way too much-- well beyond what I would consider to be normal. With that much vibration, it would be hard to see that it would last very long. We exchanged it for the mid-level Samsung (a much better washer). Definitely worth the extra $70 to have a machine that seemed to be constructed much better.

So far, we've been very impressed! Simple to operate. Seems to clean clothes well. The machine seems very sturdy. It does not vibrate very much, unlike other machines. It sings a little song when it is done. I'm happy with the purchase-- we had to return a Whirlpool washer that clearly did not make the cut.

This set has a reasonable picture. Not great, but reasonable.
The really bad feature on this set is the sound. It appears Samsung is trying to minimize production costs. The result is hollow and "tinny" sound. It isn't what I have come to expect from Samsung.

I want to replace a Century Link Router. My current Router is an ActionTec C1900A. Will this work?

If I understand your question, the AC1900 Netgear router will do a great job. Remember, this is router only. If you have a cable modem, you will have to replace it as well. Make sure you check with your internet provider for the list of approved modems. The Motorola MB7420 cable modem has 16 x 8 channel capacity, which will serve you well into the future.

Unable to use card

When I placed a new card in my camera- Konica Minolta DImage Z6, I am getting the code "unable to use card"... This is the correct card to use, so what is the problem? It freezes up the camera so I am not able to format it, I can only turn it off. This is frustrating, please help.

Thanks
It may be this card is too slow for your camera. You may have to use Ultra or Extreme cards. Look for Class 10 cards as a minimum for cameras. This is a class 4 card.

Dish tv with HD

I have a 32 inch Samsung in our bedroom which is controlled by a box in the family room.
The 40 inch Samsung in the family room gets great reception as to color and contrast.
However, the tv in the bedroom has poor color with both HD and normal (?) reception.
Can this be fixed?

John O'M
There may not be enough information here to troubleshoot the problem. My first guess is the 32 inch Samsung was manufactured with some new and cheaper processes Samsung is using. The result of that manufacturing process is a television set that is not as good as the models it replaced. If your 32 inch set has a separate external power transformer, it is probably one of the newer and not as good models. A suggestion is the LG 32LN5600. Much better sound and better picture.
