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.
replaced 2 very high rated Android phones with 4Ss. - should have done it sooner - best phones we have owned. Better battery life, memory management, no stupid apps using up memory and iCloud is awesome.
This product is... Easy to use keypad/keyboard, Lightning fast, Great picture quality, Tough/durable, Good video quality, Good call quality

Coffeehouse Versatility meets Pod Convenience with the Ninja DualBrew Pro Specialty Coffee System. Included 12-cup, double-walled thermal carafe is perfect for both hot and over-ice beverages, with an ergonomic handle and spout allow for easy control of pouring. Tackle grounds and pods with 9 grounds brew sizes from small cup to full carafe, and 4 pod brew sizes from 6 to 12 ounces. Brews a coffee pod faster than a leading Keurig coffee maker upon startup. With Thermal Flavor Extraction DUO technology, perfect flavor for grounds and pods is delivered with even saturation and precise temperature control for ultra-flavorful coffee. Separate from the coffee system is a dedicated hot water line. Using a separate line eliminates flavor contamination and delivers clean water. 2 temperature settings, hot and boil, allow you to make tea, hot cocoa, instant soups, and oatmeal. Brew a super-rich coffee concentrate that you can use to create delicious lattes, macchiatos, cappuccinos, and other coffeehouse-style drinks. Use the built-in, fold-away frother to transform hot or cold milk/milk-alternatives into silky-smooth froth in seconds. Top your Specialty brew with frothed milk for a coffeehouse-style drink.​ The frother is also removable for easy cleaning. Choose from one of four different brew styles; classic or rich for a traditional hot cup of coffee, over ice for an iced coffee that's never diluted, or specialty to make a cappuccino or latte. Clean function, dishwasher-safe parts, removable Ninja pod adaptor and frother allow you to easily deep clean your unit.
 

Can you tell me more about the thermal carafe? Is the inside stainless steel?

yes it is stainless steel and cleans easily

Hi. Since this is sold in America that would imply it is to be used in America. So I was wondering why the specifications here list the voltage requirement as 220v? While I do agree that 220v grid is indeed a better design, I live under tyranny of 120v...

works great on !20v
