Quick setup, long reach
on May 21, 2016
Posted by: RacineTechie
The entire process consisted of unpacking (easy) following the instructions (short and to the point) and pressing a button a total of four times (including the button on my router).
I recently installed a new router and while I could reach every corner of our house with strong signal, I saw the signal drop when I went into the garage. I added the RE7000-AC1900 extender and now I have wi-fi in the garage as well as our driveway and backyard.
I received this product through the Best Buy Tech Insider program in exchange for my honest and unbiased review of the product.

Incredibly Easy setup, great performance and range
on May 21, 2016
Posted by: RacineTechie
I unpacked the Linksys EA9500 Max-Stream AC5400 Tri-band WI-FI router and had it connected, configured, and working with all of my gadgets, in a grand total of about 15 minutes (including setting up login on all of my devices).
It takes up a bit more space on the shelf than my old router did, but the improved performance, especially on our iPhones, was well worth it.
The router covers every corner of our house (three floors, and over 2,000 sq.feet) even down into the corner of the basement.
The three channel feature is awesome; we currently have 2 smart phones, 2 tablets, two desktops, a blu-ray player, and our treadmill connected to the wi-fi network with no speed issues.
The packaging was easy to open and the documentation and instructions were quite clear. The web-page configuration screen was laid out well and easy to navigate. From opening the box to completed install and setup: 15 minutes.

Rejuvenating my old LPs to Mp3s
on March 16, 2014
Posted by: RacineTechie
from Racine, WI
Speaker hookup was easy, PC hookup was easy, the price was right and the sound is good (as long as you keep your records clean)!
I have a lot of LPs from back when they were the main method of music delivery. They have been in storage for about 20 years and then I found this turntable and I'm listening to them again - in the den and on my iPod.
I can even pick up new music on LP - it's been awhile since I did that.
A few quick and simple connections and this turn table was tied into my media-PC and the rediscovery process was underway. After 1 album, I'd found the software settings (Audacity# that worked best for me. You really have to listen to music on LP to understand why analog really is better than digital.
Granted, if the album you are listening to was recorded digitally, it may not be much of any difference from the CD, but if you have older analog recordings #or newer) then this is well worth the modest investment.
My Best Buy number: 0325831075
What's great about it: I can turn my old LPs in MP3s
What's not so great: Does not have 78rpm setting

Heavy Metal on vinyl just sounds better
on March 16, 2014
Posted by: RacineTechie
from Racine, WI
Awesome guitar work, plenty of hooks, and a hefty dose of angst-ridden lyrics make this another fine offering from 5FDP. I have their prior work on CD and decided to take a run at this LP to see if there really is a noticeable difference in sound quality. Yes, to my ear, there is.
If you own a turntable of good quality, and enjoy metal, you owe it to yourself to pick this album up.
The resurgence of vinyl, coupled with the availability of quality turntables has really changed the way I listen to classical and metal. Since buying this album, I've reverting back to vinyl for about 50% of my new music purchases.

What's great about it: Sound quality is crazy
What's not so great: Cleaning vinyl porperly is a bit tedious

Great combo for a low price

I picked up the Microsoft - Wireless Desktop 800 Keyboard and Optical Mouse at the same time I bought a new PC at Best Buy. I really like the size and design, it fits in nicely with the rest of the PC accessories that I have. Set up was a breeze and the battery life has been awesome this far. Pairing this with rechargeable batteries, also purchased from Best Buy, has allowed me to use a keyboard without the hassle and restriction of wires. Why did I wait so long for this?

What's great about it: easy to set up, small form factor, elegant design
What's not so great: Nothing.

Do the sides of the toaster get hot to the touch when in use??

Not that we noticed, but we only make 4 slices at breakfast and don't go for dark/burnt toast.
I expect if you like your toast dark and are making a lot of it, it may get a bit warm, fortunately, stainless tends to shed heat fairly quickly anyway.
