Testing/Setup:
So the setup was extremely simple. The only problem I ran into was that I had a previous router so unplugging it and plugging in the Linksys EA9500 required me to reboot my modem, not a big deal. After hooking it up, changing the WiFi settings was a breeze. Let me say one thing though. This router is MASSIVE! If you are thinking about purchasing this thing, make sure you have enough space to put it. It has vent holes pretty much on the whole thing and because of the power it produces to enhance your WiFi experience, make sure you give it enough space to breathe. Keep in mind, the testing below was done on Charters 60mbps service plan. I tested with speedtest.net
Current Speeds with my Netgear Router:
PC on Ethernet - Ping 19ms, DOWN 66.01mbps, UP 4.40mbps
Laptop Wireless - Ping 25ms, DOWN 67.22mbps, UP 4.35 mbps
Android Tablet - Ping 35ms, DOWN 39.95mbps, UP 4.51mbps
iPhone 6 Plus - Ping 14ms, DOWN 66.24mbps, UP 4.41mbps
PC on Wireless - Ping 10ms, DOWN 61.49mbps, 4.25mbps

Conclusion:
So as you see, most of the speed wasn't much of a difference in my previous Netgear router and the Linksys EA9500. One thing I can notate is that when you have multiple users in your household that streams, games, and uses the internet a lot; this router will make a difference. It enhances the signal in all your devices all at the same time so that everyone in the household gets a good speed to do what they want. I would recommend this product for people that like to have LAN party's. I would also recommend this product for someone that has a big house with multiple people in the household. If you need something that has 8 Gigabit ports and spreads the WiFi even to accommodate everyone, pick up one of these Linksys EA9500 up today.

Testing/Setup
- Setting up the tablet is pretty straight forward and typical as far as Android setup goes
- Option to set up Acer Portal (cloud, support account, updates, etc.)
- Comes pre loaded on the screen with some games but you can remove them
- Comes loaded with some Acer bloatware
- Battery started at 80% when I first powered it on which I had it drain to 2% with a typical days usage (I had to charge the next day)
- With it having 16GB of internal storage and all the apps and operating system, it was about 10.05GB available for me to fill up
- Sound output was on the back bottom of the device which in my opinion made the sound quality terrible. It sounds muffled or monotone and if you don't have a stand or anything for the tablet, you basically won't hear anything. Turning the volume to the max made it sound even worse.
- Sometimes the finger touch of the screen recognization isn't the best
- Screen quality isn't bad but there isn't much to mention as far as pros go
- Camera is not great. If you are planning on taking pictures with this tablet I recommend getting another product. But to be honest... Why would you use your tablet to take pictures. Sure once in a while here and there it isn't bad, but if you are hoping to get glamorous pictures from the camera I would look elsewhere. The camera does offer the settings of film strip, panorama mode, face beauty, motion track, and live photo. Camera has typical functions such as auto smile, HDR, color effects, etc.
- When downloading an app on Google Play, the tablet would become "slow" or "lag"
- Randomly had a glitch where the Google bar (widget) turned into a box and said "Problem Loading Widget". A restart fixed this problem.
- The best thing I found that this tablet could do for my day to day usage was propping it up someway somehow and watching a movie or YouTube video.

Conclusion
- I would recommend this tablet maybe for perhaps kids or someone that doesn't expect too much from the tablet. Depending on what the MSRP is, that would be where your decision would have to come to. If it was lets say, $100; then it might be worth it to get for just a daily usage tablet for things like playing a game here and there or watching a movie/clip. If you are looking to have it perform and last throughout the whole day and enjoy the sound that it produces, I would maybe save the $100 and invest on a different tablet. Long story short, the tablet falls short on list of tablets I have used in my time. I have an old (1st gen I believe) iPad Mini and it outperforms this Acer Iconia 8. With the technology that we have nowadays, Acer shouldn't have a problem putting out something better in my opinion.

Testing/Setup/Pros & Cons
- Device is a little bulky in the sense of finding where to plug it in
- Setup of the device was extremely simple
- Quick start guide is on point
- I used the WPS button to setup both 2.4 & 5.0 connections (push button to connect)
- Unplugging and moving it did need/require me to redo the push button to connect setup (this was after setting it up and following directions on the quick start guide)
- Testing of current speed(s) without the range extender (Desktop = 16ms ping, 58.01 mbps down, 04.23 mbps up//Phone = 15ms ping, 53.47 mbps down, 5.33 mbps up)
- Testing after successfully hooking up the range extender (Desktop = 19ms ping, 66.36 mbps down, 04.42 mbps up//Phone = 27ms ping, 66.03 mbps down, 04.76ms up)
- Keep in mind, the testing was done with my ISP being Charter and having the 60 mbps plan (so in this sense, the booster kicked in and went over the 60 mbps ISP plan
- Changing the password for the extended network was a little confusing to me
- Extender Access Password under Administration (Management) *I thought this was the password for my Wi-Fi as opposed to the extender
- No log out button? Some people may not care. For me, I would like to have a log out button
- Extender.Linksys.com (works on mobile as well/mobile view capable) which is great!
- Spot finder technology is not a separate app or software but is built into the Extender.Linksys.com portal which shows you if your extender is in the optimal spot. This is awesome!
- Wireless access points get doubled with the extender. What I mean is that when you originally have 2 wireless access points (whatever your wireless access point names are) you end up having 2 more that have *ext at the end of them. So you basically get 4 wireless access points. One is for 2.4 ghz and the other is for 5.0 ghz. Since I have 2, I ended up having 4 total. To some people, this gets confusing and its a little unorganized.

Cons:
Only small con I can come up with is the scroll wheel. It slightly wobbles but that could be because its a free scroll+your normal traditional scroll wheel.
Overall though, the mouse is awesome!

Vacuum yourself? Please iRobot is here
on February 4, 2014
Posted by: MarkusKong
The iRobot is awesome. My wife and I love this thing. We both use to have to vacuum every once a week or more depending on how dirty the place is. When we first bought this thing my wife intermediately opened it up and watched the DVD. In minutes, she already knew how to use it. Its that easy! So we let it go its course and it picked up a fair amount of stuff. In the beginning, the compartment where it stores the dust was getting extremely full, so we knew it was working. As it kept going throughout the week the dust because less and less. That's how we knew it was working and also how we knew it was doing its job, the carpet felt very clean. It picks up my wife's hair flawlessly, picks up dusty, picks up carpet, picks up pieces of nail or whatever is on our carpet. When it is low on battery or when its done cleaning, it knows how to return itself back to its home. We currently set it for 2 days out of a week and our apartment is so clean its ridiculous! Cleaning of the machine is simple also.

Awesome turbo oven for the price
on February 4, 2014
Posted by: MarkusKong
The reason I gave it 4 for quality instead of 5 is because when I received my first Oyama Turbo Oven, the glass container had multiple inner cracks and bubbles. What I mean by that is that the cracks and bubbles were somehow inside the glass (perhaps during the making process of the glass). You wouldn't be able to feel it in the inside or outside of the glass container.
BUT... BestBuy was awesome to help me get it replaced. The initial experience with BestBuy.com, being that I normally go to the stores to make my purchases, it wasn't so great at first. I kept getting different answers and different statements. But overall, with everything that did go bad, it turned 180 and everything went back on track and I have to say, I am impressed.
The product. It honestly is a great product. The 2nd one I received did have some minor cracks and bubbles, but it wasn't as bad as the first one I received. I also didn't get an instruction booklet or warranty card with my first one. The 2nd one has been working flawlessly. It cooks food great and makes food taste great. Since I have bought this unit, I haven't used my regular oven. I rarely even use my stove anymore! I even took it over to my parents house to have them see how it works and they love it, they will be getting one too! The cleaning is also simple. Place the glass bowl in the dishwasher and just wipe down the top lid with some all purpose cleaner.

Will you be able to take a phone call on this? I.e., do the mics function as a phone mic?
Hello Jordan, as of current no. You can't make phone calls either. When you try and tell Google Home to do anything that has to do with phone calls currently, it says it can't do that right now. So maybe Google will release that feature in the future? Not sure though...

Hello CRC, no it does not need to be set up with your cell phone provider. All you need is a compatible device and a way to download the Google Home APP to set it up.
