Well...I did my homework and realized that buying a router is kind of a turkey shoot to begin with. So....I drove an hour to buy the NETGEAR - RangeMax Dual-Band Wireless-N Router with 4 Ethernet Ports - Black, at the Best Buy only to talk to a salesman in the computer department that could have cared less, and when I couldnt find it, to find the router to have had a name change and is now called the N600 Wireless in the store. Bought the router and added a $10 dollar two year warranty and drove back home. The next day I tried to install the device. Just spent all day trying to get the darned thing to work. It would not connect to my PC...Which is an expensive one. I did every check, balance, and test in the book short of swinging the router over my head and screaming like a chicken. It would not connect. After much searching I finally located the number to NEATGEAR for phone help. Spent hours playing "Do This Now Do That".....At the end of the day...I hear.."OH..You have a defective model". JOY JOY..Well aint that just great! Now I get to spend another hour driving back to Best Buy to exchange it for another model...Gee..Maybe that will be defective too so I can waste another day talking to people that do not seem to know what to do. Oh...... and that hour drive and $30.00 dollars in gas is now added to the c ost. Such a deal. A $75 dollar router now cost me$175 and I aint even got it working yet. Cant wait to see what the future holds for me and my router. Just shoot me now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I did my homework and watched for a sale. Then while everything I had been watching for on the Best Buy site was still marked "sold out", this computer pops up out of no where. I could have gone to the Best Buy store and had a sales person special order at regular price, but I waited and it paid off. What I Bought... CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme, ( This System Is Liquid Cooled ) it has....Intel Core I7 6th Generation, 16GB memory, 2 TB Hard Drive + 128GB SSD, Windows 10.....Model SLC8040B. This system runs very smooth, and responds very quick. Very fast start up. Lots of room for future expansion. Not loud, but you can hear it running. Has no wireless card (knew that going in) will add later. The case is big and the blue light is pretty cool as well. Be careful taking the foam packing out of case, and check all connections before start up. I am very happy with this system so far. Word Of Advice...Do Your Homework and know what you want before actually buying. There are so many different computer builds for sale its confusing. Also get the Geek Squad 3 Year Protect And Service Plan. When you buy your system it will only cost you around $200.00 dollars. It covers unlimited virus and tune up. One time at the computer shop and you pay around $100.00 bucks. If you deal with the manufacturer or amazon etc. you will no doubt pay for shipping and insurance to get it fixed and then can have fun waiting to get it back. If you take it out of the box and right off the bat you have software, or hardware problems it might be better to just take it back and get a replacement. If I have any future problems I will take it into Best Buy and give it to the Geek Squad. I will try to stay away from the phone service. You can spend hours on that phone fix it game. Call to get info., but try to stay away from phone repair. I called Tech support at CyberPower and was told by a recording that there was a long wait so I asked for a call back. They never returned my call, or maybe the wait was really, really, really long. Did I mention to check all the details before and after buying your system? Check your service contract as well. Cross all your T's and dot all your I's and you will get what you want and will like it. The learning curve can cost you money.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My new Xbox One controller seems to fit my hands a little bit better, and the buttons and such seem to react smoother. I like the battery holder better as well. Cool thing is you can buy really fancy skins to deck out your controller. Controller is still a bit expensive to buy. Wred controllers are still probably faster for online gaming. Gotta do what ya gotta do.

does this have the new ac technology
I hear the AC technology is only as good as the devices that you have connected to the router. If your stuff is older then "N" should work fine...Playing Xbox one online then you need ac tech. In this case think about now rather than thinking to far ahead into the future...A router usually lasts maybe two or three years. HINT..for ten bucks get the Best Buy extended two year replacement warranty.
