Set up was easy. The Linksys Logo appeared for set up within a few seconds. Clicked on router SSID and was taken right into set up and was up and running. This Router is a beast. You can feel the quality in the weight of the unit. I put it through the paces. I connected 4 laptops, 3 are AC wireless compatible. Connected 2 Rokus,
Connected 2 WiFi TV’s, Connected a Blu-Ray player. Connected 3 Tablets (1 is AC compatible) Connected 3 smart phones, all Android, Connected 2 desktops. Connected a WD MyCloud Drive. This is normal for my house cause I am a PC Tech. All devices had good connections. I streamed music and movies to the related connected devices. I also Streamed music from the My Cloud to remote locations and found worked ok. The laptops had connections at the 866.7mbps. The other devices connected at lower speeds but most
Of them usually are averaging 500mbps & is pretty normal. I performed a router speed test and was satisfied with the results. See the Pics. Now, I did find when navigating through the router settings, the router will time out and I have to refresh the page, not sure yet if this is a Linksys thing or a Windows 10 Thing. I’m still investigating. I also discovered when viewing the network map, I could not see Guest Connected Devices. The Guest access was also open with no encryption on some of the devices. I connected a smart phone to test this and connected w/out a password. I contacted Linksys on this and resolved the problem with a Router Firmware Reflash through a remote desktop connection with Linksys and all was good, we also discovered an improper sync with the range extender (possibly my fault) and that was resolved also. The new technology with the EA9500-AC5400 Router and RE7000 Range extender truly pair up for seamless roaming between rooms. So far all is good and would definitely recommend this router for a high performance result. The user interface of the router is fairly simple and can also be monitored with a smart phone app. This could also be a good small business router with the availability of 8 high speed Ethernet ports. I’m currently using 3 ports consistently. The other ports are nice for me when connecting other PC’s that need repair. I did not test the USB ports but suspect they will work just fine.

Simplify personal grooming with this Panasonic ARC 5 electric shaver. The ultra-fast motor and five-blade system make short work of facial hair by providing up to 70,000 cross-cuts per minute,. This Panasonic ARC 5 electric shaver has a built-in pop-up trimmer that makes it easy to sculpt mustaches, beards and sideburns.
Can you purchase a charge/clean station separately to work with this razor?
I have tried to investigate the possibility but so far have determined where there is normally electrical contacts on the razor handle for the cleaning station, they are capped off with black covers. Also the model number of the razor version that goes with the cleaning station is different.

Laptop Warranty by bestbuy or by HP ?? If there’s a problem can i fix it in any Worldwide HP Store ???
Purchasing the Best Buy warranty is always better in most cases. You will have an easier time when the warranty is needed, however manufacturers have been stepping up there game lately with there warranties.
