Linksys - RE9000 AC3000 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Range Extender - Black
Extend your next-gen AC Wi-Fi connection in hard-to-reach locations of your home such as the backyard, garage, or bedroom, so you can get blazing AC3000 Wi-Fi speeds to Smart TVs, Blu-ray Disc players, iPads, tablets, laptops, and smartphones. Powerful amplifiers and four high-performance external antennas deliver maximum power and range, allowing everyone in your family to enjoy 4K/HD movie streaming, simultaneous online gaming, social media, and more.The Max-Stream RE9000 tri-band range extender helps you get the most out of your home Wi-Fi by delivering faster speeds than dual-band range extenders. Dedicated backhaul technology maximizes Wi-Fi speeds by assigning a single, dedicated 5 GHz Wi-Fi band to your router. This frees up the remaining two bands to focus exclusively on your streaming media players, game consoles, and other connected devices, so you'll enjoy full-strength Wi-Fi without slowdown or degradation.
Great Speed, Excellent range

I have a couple of these in my 3600 Sq. Ft. home.
It is probably overkill, but I can get excellent connection and speed throughout my entire house, backyard and about ½ block from the house.
Very easy to setup. And if you want to tweak settings they are all there.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Linksys - MAX-STREAM™ AC1900 Dual Band Repeater with MU-MIMO - White
Prevent dead zones around your home with the help of this Linksys Wi-Fi range extender. It works with all types of Wi-Fi routers, and it uses multi-user MIMO for speed and efficiency. This Linksys Wi-Fi range extender can be used to create a different access point or to extend the field of the router’s connection.
Decent extender, easy setup.

I picked up two fo these to extended the network coverage from my main router.
They were VERY easy to setup as access points. Only took about 10 minutes each.
The coverage was decent, but not great. Most likely because they need to be plugged directly into a power outlet. Low and they were blocked by furniture in my home.
I ended up exchanging them for two Linksys RE9000 Extender/Access Points. That model fit the bill. It allowed me to place them in a better position and I get amazing range now (I can get about ½ block from my house and I am still connected.

I have a setup with the Linksys EA9500 and (2) Linksys RE9000 extenders setup as APs. I have full power coverage throughout my 3200 Sq ft home as well as my backyard and about ½ a block from my house.
I have a pretty large amount (?) of duty for my router so I needed something that could keep up. Here is a list of what is connected:
(3) Nest Fire detectors
(2) Harmony remote hubs
(2) Philips hue base + 12 bulbs
(22) WeMo devices (Light switches, switches and a WeMo Maker)
(2) Smart Life devices (switches)
(8) Amazon Echo Devices (2 with displays)
(1) AT&T Digital Life security system
(1) EcoBee 3 Thermostat
(10) NetGear Arlo Security cameras
(2) Pioneer Elite network ready receivers
(2) Sony Network Ready HDTVs
(2) Apple TV 4k
(1) Matricom STB
(2) NVIDIA Shield STB
(2) iPads
(2) iPhones
(1) Slingbox
(2) Drobo 5n NAS
(1) NetGear NAS
(2) Apple Time Capsules
(6) SONOS speakers
(1) PS4 Pro
(1) XBOX ONE S
(1) Nintendo Switch
(1) Windows computer
(6) Macintosh Computers
-#1 is running
—macOS Server
—PLEX
-#2 is running
—Transmission
-#3 is running
—Slink
-The rest are just used when needed

I have had 4 connected video streams, on PLEX, of 1080p video running with no signs of an issue. This is a PLEX server running on a Mac mini. I also use Kodi on my local network and it has no issues at all with (2) 1080p and (2) 4kHDR video streams running.
I can fully control the security cameras, the WeMo devices, SlingBox, PLEX, EcoBee 3, AT&T Digital Life, All of the NASes and connect to my network via VPN remotely with no issues.
The setup for someone with little or no knowledge of networking is ridiculously simple. Only took about 5 minutes to complete the initial setup. It also has a pile of extra features that can be employed if you know what you are doing or want to learn. This ease of setup is on par with the setup for Apple routers (AirPorts and Time Capsules). But the Apple routers have no where near as many features and options available. I would like it if it had a few more of the more professional options available, so I could tweak the settings a bit more.
The add-on of the extenders was just as easy. It took about 5 minutes each. The extenders don’t have much to alter on them as they are functioning as Access Points.
So Far this router has completely lived up to my expectations.
The only question you need to answer is… at the price, do you need this much router. I would figure that the majority of users would see no issues going with a lower level Linksys. But if you are using your router to manage a large number of devices while streaming video, using several computers, running a macOS server, a plex server and an automated household… This IS the router to use!

This is a great entry to the world of UHD 4k players.
Very easy to set up and customize. Had it plugged in and ready to go in about 15 minutes.
One very AWESOME feature is the load time to start watching a BluRay. There almost is none! It takes about 5 seconds from pressing play to the image appearing on your screen.
I have a higher end 4k player in a different room, the wait is about 25-35 seconds. Doesn't sound like much, but it gets annoying.

Deadpool Standard Edition - PlayStation 4
There are a few important things I need to say before you crack into my insanely sweet game. (You might want to sit down for this!). I'm a mercenary with an accelerated healing factor. I've been described as unstable, which is just plain coo-coo. (Wait, do sane people say coo-coo?) Be prepared for just about anything. (Holla!)

If you are looking for a cutting edge game, this isn't it. BUT if you are looking for some adult humor and the ability to knock the crap out of a bunch of bad guys…THIS IS IT.
Fun to play decent replay value.

Can I use this to join a hotel WiFi signal and then connect devices and game consoles to that?
no. You would need a router that support WISP operation modes. (WISP Wireless internet service provider)
