Functions Well, But Instructions Are a Disaster

This is a good, basic model for buyers who don't care about tilt or full motion, but want the TV as close to the wall as possible. It's also a good value for the price. The components are sturdy, and Insignia provides a good assortment of mounting hardware that should accommodate most TVs. I was a little leery of the fact that it mounts to only one wall stud, but in this size range, it's understandable.
The installation instructions, however, are a disaster! All measurements are related to the center of the installation template. Looking at the template, the center point is not marked, nor is there an opening where you can see a mark on the wall. A better approach would be to revise the instructions so that measurements relate to the top of the template.
In addition, the installation instructions completely ignore the lateral shift capability. Reading the instructions leads one to believe that the TV must be centered over a stud. Fortunately, I had previously installed another wall mount from a different company, and was somewhat familiar with how to do it. Even so, it took a lot of head-scratching and calculations to figure out just how much offset this rig was capable of.
In the end, everything worked out once we got over the frustration of the installation. If you're familiar with putting up wall mounts, I would recommend this product. But for the consumer putting up a mount for the first time, this is Not Recommended.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This router has what should be a great feature called ReadyShare: take a USB storage device -- mine is a terabyte hard drive -- plug it into the back of the router, and share the contents with any computer that is connected to the network. Only problem is that it didn't work. After numerous unsuccessful tries, I wound up exchanging the N750 for a NetGear AC1200, and everything worked fine the first time.
Also, I noted long wait times buffering videos before they would play. Sometimes, the videos would stutter. Other downloads appeared slower than they were with the 10 year-old wireless g router I was replacing. Again, the Netgear AC1200 solved the problem.
In all fairness, I don't know if I simply got a defective unit, or if the problems above are generic to this particular model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wall Mount
Can this work for my Insignia 40" TV?
If the manufacturer says 19" to 39", it's probably for a good reason. I would recommend that you stick to a size range that includes 40".

Can you mount this on the back of a media cabinet to use with a 37" tv?
The mount is designed for TVs ranging from 19" to 39" but is designed to mount either to a wall stud or a concrete wall using heavy duty lag bolts. It is doubtful whether your media cabinet would be sturdy enough to support this type of mounting. You're probably better off leaving the TV on its stand and sitting it on a shelf in your cabinet.

What routers are compatible with Century Link Internet?
Internet Service Providers generally supply a device called a DSL modem or cable modem as part of their service. There is a jack on this device that supplies standard Ethernet (although the speeds may vary greatly). You could plug your computer directly into this box and have wired internet connectivity.
What the router does is to allow you to share your internet connection among multiple wired and wireless devices. Virtually every router in the consumer marketplace is designed to work with standard Ethernet. So, in answer to your question, there should be no compatibility issues between any router and any Internet Service Provider.
