Dell still makes a solid machine!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this for a client of mine, and after 30 years of playing with computers, I still think Dell makes a superior computer, and this lightweight Inspiron is no exception. There is almost no more inside than a laptop, but components are well-matched for speed and reliability. If they would just bring back their customer support to the US, I'd recommend them even more. Just hope it won't break!

I've been using Netgear for years, but a client insisted on Linksys, and it was a breeze to setup, the interface is easy to figure out, navigate, and tweak. Now let's see how long it lasts!

I started using CyberPower UPS's about 10 years ago, replacing the other known brand, and haven't looked back yet. Fewer battery problems, I really like the associated software, and they last longer.

Very easy to set up, great throughput

I've settled on Netgear as the only wireless components I'd rather use (except mesh products). This is the perfect "average" router for a medium-sized home or small business.

Nice thin bezel, bright colors, but not very white
on December 17, 2016
Posted by: gz2313
from Tulsa, OK
Verified Purchase:Yes
The base is sturdy (doesn't shake much), the power light isn't too bright, changes sources fairly well (I do it a lot), the glossy surface isn't too reflective, and the colors are bright and crisp, but it just doesn't seem to get whites perfectly correct, even trying it's own color balancer, and the one built into Windows. Getting videos bright enough with colors correct is tricky, but overall, I like the size, and the thin bezel and short depth.

Blazing fast, completely reliable

Verified Purchase:Yes
Over the years, I've found that certain brands make certain items better than others. Some make better hard drives, others USB drives, but after reading a lot of reviews and benchmarks, I found the EVO 850 gives the most bang for your buck, and this 500 doesn't disappoint. Before, I had 2 120GB SSD's in RAID 1, but this one is definitely faster. I'm glad I spent a little more to get a lot better.

With the USB 3.0 speed, and included WD Backup software, this is a great drive to have on hand. Having used various brands of drives for over 30 years, WD is still the most reliable.

I've trusted WD drives for years, having seen too many other brands fail too early, or too many times. With the USB 3.0 speeds and the included backup software, this is a hit in my humble opinion, having worked with hard drives for over 30 years.

Stable, fast throughput, long range

I've been using Netgear exclusively for years because of their reliability, and this product is a great example. I got it for a client in an older home, with old wiring and lathe/stucco walls. His older extender dropped signals, and he hasn't lost any since I installed this one.

Sony USB Wi-Fi Adapter
I have a 2011 Sony Blu-Ray Disc player, model BDP-S380, that I want to connect to my LAN. According to the manual, this player connected wirelessly with a special Sony adapter, model UWA-BR100. But this item has been discontinued. Are there any suitable replacements? Does Best Buy carry them?
Assuming it also has an ethernet port, use a set of "AC Home Plug" adapters. Marvelous devices, and very stable, fast, and secure. (My humble opinion after almost 30 years experience, is to use only Netgear.)

do all routers have to be wired to a modem
i have to hard wire my swann cameras/dvr to a router . does the router have to to be wired to a modem? are there wireless modems .. i do not want the dvr next to the office equipment
Yes! Modems only hand out 1 address, and only with a wired connection (as of 2014!), so your router takes the single address, and hands several to (wired or wirelessly) connected devices. Maybe use wireless extenders, or "Home Plug adapters"?
Maybe next year...

This adapter seems to be causing windows 7 to blue screen occasionally. Any idea why and is there a fix?
Try getting the latest updated driver from Netgear, ensuring 32- or 64-bit compatibility. Otherwise, I'd look at your adapter or os. I've used it in Win7 with no issues.
