Simple setup and FAST
on December 13, 2016
Posted by: MrHappy
First off. I want to disclose. Linksys was kind enough to send me this router for my honest review. Thank you very much Linksys team! That will not how ever effect my review of this router. I will share my honest thoughts and opinions. On to the review. My previous router was a Linksys WRT1900AC. I have had it for 2+ years. So I was very excited to receive this new model and set it up.
I waited a full week to see how it goes before posting my review. I also want to mention. I have the matching Linksys WRT004ANT high gain antennas from my WRT1900AC. So I put them on this new WRT3200ACM as well. I do recommend those if you are interested in them. They have been great and do give a little bump in signal gains.
As for my home network setup. Its a mix of desktops, laptop, game consoles, tablets, printer, tv's, voip phone. All in all I have 11 devices online 24/7.
Packaging
Great! Everything looked real nice in the box and organized very well.
Build Quality
Linksys shines. I have never had a problem with their build quality. They always feel premium and well constructed. Which they are. Please don't ever change Linksys. This is a strong point for you.
Setup
Does not get any easier. Another area Linksys shines in. Their routers are extremely easy to setup. 10 minutes you are up. That includes unboxing it. Some people complain about Linksys firmware being so limited in features etc. I absolutely love the simplistic approach they take. And the menus are laid out very well. Easy to understand and get around.
The great thing with this router if you want or demand a lot more features and need them. You can flash 3rd party firmware onto it like DDWRT etc. Getting back to the factory setup. I prefer to set mine up manually using the local log in. All I did was log in. Check for firmware updates. None available atm as I have the latest version. Set each device with DHCP reservations with in the router gui.
Followed up by a reboot. I also changed my router password before doing that. I suggest you do as well.
Performance
Fast, fast and FAST! This new router is definitely faster then my previous WRT1900AC This one is better do to the newer hardware and improvements. This router is even future proof with 160Hz when more devices can take advantage of it. Other speedy specs include 1.8GHz dual core cpu and 512mb ram.
I have had zero issues with this new WRT3200ACM. Its been up for a solid week and you would not even know it exist. It just quietly does its job and does it extremely well. I am very pleased with it. And these are with using factory settings out of the box. I have not needed to change a thing. I have a 130mb/5mb cable connection with Charter and I get every bit of it.
The range on this router is crazy. Even for the 5GHz band. I can go any where in the house with out issue and still have blazing speeds.
Features
Once again. Simplistic approach Linksys takes. Tons of features is not always better some times and can confuse consumers. Now a days in these busy times. People just want to hook up and go. While being safe doing it. Linksys does just that and they do it very well.
Suggestions (Linksys)
Advise customers to change the default router log in password. Bandwidth meter. This is a short fall for Linksys here. All the other manufactures include a detailed bandwidth chart/logs. What I mean. You can see in real time, hourly, weekly, monthly etc. With caps now a days. I know people would appreciate this. Especially to see their weekly and monthly uses for everything on their network all at once.
I would greatly appreciate it. Its one thing I have been wishing Linksys would add for years. Now this router does have a limited feature in this regard. But its extremely limited as in it shows per device as its being used atm. Other then that. What I suggested earlier does not exist yet. I hope Linksys will add it in the future with this product or others.
In closing
Great router. I had no issues with it during setup or performance wise. I would certainly recommend this router to anyone. The other added bonus is having that optional 3rd party firmware support. That is a big deal for many people who enjoy that. In the end. I have no major complaints about this router at all and deserves the 5 star rating I gave it.

Tackle tough stains with this white top-loading washer from Maytag. The stainless steel basin provides 4.3 cubic feet of space - enough room for 18 towels in one load. The PowerWash system combats tough stains in clothing. This top-loading washer's deep wash cycle raises and lowers water levels automatically to ensure full submersion.

Likes to do the rumba some times

Overall. The washer does its job and does it well. BUT. I do have a few complaints. First off. It is very LOUD. Makes all kinds of weird noises. I have never heard a washer make the noises this thing does. The other issue. It likes to take walks all by its lonesome every so often.
We even had them come out to make sure it was balanced properly. Checked out fine. So it is not a balancing issue. When it comes down to the last spin. It spins EXTREMELY FAST. I am convinced that is what throws it off every so often and from how ever the clothes etc decide to shift while spinning at such a high rate.
Those are honestly my only 2 cons with it. The rest. FANTASTIC! It always gets everything nice and clean!

Dell has quality control issues with this model
on July 21, 2016
Posted by: MrHappy
I never do reviews. But, feel like I had to this time. Not the fault of Best Buy at all. Its Dell that has a serious quality control issue. First one received developed a dead pixel with in 24-48 hrs of owning it. I would have kept it if the pixel was off to the side or not noticeable. This one decided to develop right in the middle of the screen. Highly annoying against light backgrounds.
Especially white. Your eyes would just be drawn to it. Best Buy sent me another new replacement. Fire it up. Low and be hold. This new replacement has a smudge behind the screen. No way to remove. Its physically with in the screen. I could not believe it. 2 bad ones in a row. All the while Best Buy was being pretty awesome about it. They apologized. When this last monitor was sent out.
They sent it out before me even shipping out the other bad one. They have also provided shipping labels for the returns. So, this one is going back as well for a refund. I give up. Best Buy told me they would flag the product and investigate further. I think they got a bad batch in personally. Both builds was revision A03 May 2016. The one star rating reflects on Dell and not Best Buy.
For the amount of money this monitor costs. Especially when not on sale. Its completely unacceptable. Best Buy gets 5+ for handling it well. In the end. If you happen to get a good one. Its a great monitor. I really enjoyed it when I did get to use it. Gaming was amazing with a GTX 1080 powering the monitor. G-Sync was buttery smooth as well. I have 2 other Dell monitors that are highly rated and reliable.
They are the Dell U2412M and Dell U2415. I have had zero problems with those monitors. I hope Dell resolves the quality issues with this Dell S2716DG
