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.
Setup is a breeze with WPS!
Customer Rating
5.0
The product works as advertised. Setting up the extender with WPS was incredibly easy... I did have to enable WPS on my AT&T U-Verse gateway but once I checked the box and saved that setting I tried WPS setup again and with two button pushes and a brief wait the extender was active and working. I unplugged it from one outlet and moved it to my kitchen and it connected to my router in about 1 minute. I'm very happy with the results. I cannot speak to the claims about wide wireless coverage because my house is not that big but the extender is working great for me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Light, full of features, and many available accesories
What's not so great: Need to buy a case to protect it from bumps and falls
Samsung smartphones are very popular and this means that there are many choices available when it comes to accessories. I have used other good phones from LG and HTC but I have to admit that I like the Samsung the best because I have many choices when it comes to cases and screen protectors. The phone is also powerful, has a great screen and an excellent speaker for conference calls. Not to mention that the battery can be removed and you can add micro SD storage if you want.
The bad stuff is not is not so bad... a bunch of software and features I'll never use and the phone is all plastic.
I wish Samsung would innovate more with the phone's physical design and improve battery life. I also wish that the extra apps and features could be easily removed and or turned off.

What's great about it: Nice looking vertical enclosure
What's not so great: Only install the WD Drive Utilities; backup software no good.
It is sort of a given that WD makes quality hard drives. This drive is perfect for my needs. I use this drive for back with Crash Plan software. I had to install the WD utilities so I could increase the sleep time to 45 minutes. The bundled software is not worth anything and you should not consider it when looking at this drives price. Also the drive enclosure only stands vertically which I really like but may not work for everyone. One real bonus is that it comes with a USB 3.0 cable which a decent length and quality.

Google Wifi AC1200 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (3-Pack)
Create a reliable internet connection throughout your home with this Google Wi-Fi system. The convenient package of three connectivity points effortlessly covers even large homes up to 4,500 square feet. This Google Wi-Fi system eliminates uneven bandwidth usage among multiple devices, including cellphones and tablets, for an unimpeded connection that doesn't lag behind.
I currently have a router that has one Ethernet connection coming from the modem and 2 Ethernet out ports (1 for my computer and another for to my cox home security system) Does the Google Wi-Fi system have the capability of connecting 2 out ports?
I have not tested this but each unit has 1 in RJ45 port and 1 out. I think worst case you would have to buy a hub or switch to give you the two ports you need for your network. That said the short answer to your question is "no", there is only one port out from the Google units.

Does it backup both system software and data, or just data?
Does it back up the whole thing or just the data?

That depends on your back software. i do not recommend using the software that comes with the drive. I use CrashPlan for home. It only backs up data files and other files I specify but it does not backup the how operating system.
