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.

A great extender. I used it with 3 different routers, all with good results, made by different companies. I settled on the LINKSYS EA9500 MAX-STREAM™ AC5400 TRI-BAND WI-FI ROUTER.
Easy to install. Unpacking and setup required less than 10 minutes. I read and followed the easy instructions. I then configured my network using the Linksys Smart Wi-Fi software. Using the software I was able to prioritize my attached devices, allocating bandwidth where needed and locate the Linksys MaxStream RE7000-AC1900 Wall Plug In Range Extender with MU-MIMO in an optimal location to eliminate a dead spot.
I now have faster and more consistent connections than ever before. I live in a very electronic “noisy” area with over 25 networks visible at any given point in time. My network is now only limited by my carrier for web access speed.
As I stated in my review of the LINKSYS EA9500 MAX-STREAM™ AC5400 TRI-BAND WI-FI ROUTER –
Simple install, great build quality, great technical specs, great performance and great management software.
This is what computing should be – “it just works!”
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the best router I have ever used (I have owned and have used over 20).
It was super easy to install. Unpacking and setup required less than 15 minutes. I read and followed the easily understandable instructions. I then configured the LINKSYS EA9500 MAX-STREAM™ AC5400 TRI-BAND WI-FI ROUTER using their Linksys Smart Wi-Fi software. I was able to prioritize my attached devices, allocating bandwidth where needed.
I now have faster and more consistent connections than ever before. I live in a very electronic “noisy” area with over 25 networks visible at any given point in time. The centrally located router reaches my entire location except for one dead spot. I corrected the dead spot by using a Linksys MaxStream RE7000-AC1900 Wall Plug-In Range Extender with MU-MIMO to obtain complete coverage.
Simple install, great build quality, great technical specs, great performance and great management software.
The Technical specs are cutting edge at this time.

What's great about it: Electronic view finder! Fast lens! Wide 24mm! Well made
What's not so great: could use built in filter threads for polarizer & close-up lens
I have had a large number of digital and film cameras. I really liked the first RX100. I liked the RX100m2 even more (I still use it). The third generation RX100m3 is even better!. The RX100m3 is still pocketable for me. The battery life is good. The video supports 4K resolution. The fast lens is great for low light levels. I bought it through the Best Buy store in Chicago on Michigan Ave. Great store!

What's great about it: Pro quality in a P&S compact size
This is even better than the Sony DSC-RX100 (the first of the series). For example better low light capabilities, hot shoe, and built in WiFi. Android users might like the Near Field capability. I like being able to use my iPhone as a remote trigger - awesome.

What's great about it: quality of construction, design, Apple and Sprint support
What's not so great: wish the battery would last a month instead of several days of moderate to heavy use.

Best way to get clear low light shots with action
What is the best way to achieve good motion shots in low light on this camera? I am frequently trying to capture images or video in poorly lighted gyms or auditoriums. Is there a recommended preset that handles these conditions well?
Use the highest ISO you are comfortable with digital noise wise. Preferably 3200 or above. Shoot at the widest aperture preferred setting 1.8 at 28mm if possible. This will give you the fastest shutter speed possible. Last but not least pan with your subject. - good shooting!
