Great AC Wi-Fi Extender for Large Homes
on May 14, 2016
Posted by: k1zit
I paired this device with the Linksys EA9500 AC5400 and it was a match made in heaven. Setup was extremely easy using the "WPS" button on both the router and the extender. If your router has the "WPS" feature turned off, you can set it up using the Linksys browser setup process instead which is indicated in the easy setup guide found in the box. When testing, I did notice that range improved quite a bit when I placed the extender in the midway point from where the router was located to the room I was in. This is a great addition if you already have a newer "AC" router and are looking to expand your wireless range in your home. My only gripe is that I wish it was offered in black to match some of my other equipment but i won't knock a star for that. Overall great product!

Wi-Fi Heaven
on May 14, 2016
Posted by: k1zit
I would like to first start this review by mentioning that I work as a Network Technician for a living so I know a thing or two about routers. With that said, this device is the best residential router I have ever used. Not only did it handle all of my heavy media data consumption, but it provided some great features not seen on other flagship routers. As seen in the attached screenshots I was able to get up to 300+ Mpbs down and 20+ Mbps up for both hardwired and wireless speed tests. The lowest speed I received was 223 Mbps down and 21 Mbps up as seen in the attached screenshot.
The ease of setup allows this router to be used by novices and the extensive features cater to even the most technically inclined. I have broken down some of the key highlights of this beefy wireless router that illustrate, in my opinion, why it's worth the price tag. For those wanting the best Wi-Fi experience and the fastest speeds in an environment with a big demand on bandwidth, look no further.
Setup:
"Plug and play" type setup. Connect an ethernet cable from your internet service provider's modem to the "Internet" port on this router and you're ready to rock. Without getting too technical, please note that if your internet service carrier provided you with a modem/router combo unit, you will want to place that device in "bridge mode' to prevent any IP address conflicts or connectivity issues when connecting it to this Linksys router.
Features:
Tri band AC Wi-Fi Mu-MiMO Technology - This thing was made for heavy bandwidth users. I put it to the test with a gaming desktop PC, an HTPC, a note 5, an iphone 6, three ipads, an Nvidia Shield, a macbook pro, a gaming laptop, my 4k TV with Netflix, and a linux machine. I ran data intensive applications simultaneously on these products and not a single hiccup. Impressed. However, to take advantage of this router and obtain optimal speeds, you will want to ensure that your devices are “802.11 AC” Wi-Fi capable. If your Wi-Fi devices were purchased within the last year or so, they likely are. If they aren’t, you may be able to purchase an “802.11 AC” adapter if the device has a USB port. Also, make sure you have optimal placement by ensuring that the router is free from any obstructions and is centrally located as possible from the devices connected to it.
Media Prioritization – The router’s internal software allows you to prioritize bandwidth to certain applications or games that you designate. For avid gamers like myself, this is a huge bonus as ping times and latency are the difference between “frag or get fragged”.
External Storage – Connect an external storage device to one of the router’s USB ports to share content across your home network. Think local mini server! Using FTP, you can even access the content on your storage device from a remote computer. What?! Now, that’s just cool.
Guest Access Networks – If you’re in an area frequented by guests, you can configure guest networks to provide them wireless access without allowing them access to your main network and the computers connected to it!
Connectivity & Range – Did I mention that this thing has 8 external antennas and 8 gigabit Ethernet ports? Even when consuming heavy data in my home’s second floor over the wireless signal, none of the devices experience a single hitch or connectivity issue. Another huge feature is that unlike other flagship routers that only include 4 gigabit Ethernet ports, this thing has 8!!! This is great as it eliminated the need for me to use an external switch to connect additional hardwired devices.
Linksys Smart Wi-Fi App – This was the icing on the cake. Download Linksys’ “Smart Wi-Fi” app on your smartphone or tablet and you have a remote management tool for your home network on the go. I downloaded it onto my Note 5 and I was able to remotely see the devices connected to my network, make configuration changes to my wireless network, edit security parameter , and access most other features found on the local router software.
VLAN Tagging – Nerd Alert! If you know what this is then like me you are probably a bit surprised to see this feature included in a residential router but with 8 gigabit ethernet ports, why not right?! I love me some 802.1q trunking and VLAN ID configuration so I’ll be having fun tinkering with this one.
User Interface:
The software used to configure the router is extremely user-friendly and intuitive to operate. Set your network names, your preferred encryption scheme (default selection is perfectly fine), your password, hit “apply” and you’re done. The network map gives you a dynamic view of devices connected to your network and displays when they connect or disconnect in real-time. Awesome!
Construction & Size:
It’s big and it’s plastic. But then again, you wouldn’t want a fully embodied metal enclosure blocking your wireless signals would you? And that is why plastic is the ideal material for the enclosure/antennas. As far as size goes, it does catch your eye but that is a small compromise to be made for the stunning performance this router puts out.
Conclusion:
By now, you can tell that I have fallen in love with this router and I will be retiring my old one. But the questions remains; are there any cons? Well, other than the hefty price tag, I don’t really see any. But since you’re getting the latest gen technology and so many added features, this price point is to be expected. If you are looking for a “commercial grade” router in your home to handle all of your intensive data tasks, you will probably love this router.

This feels like a premium case made with quality materials. The kickstand works great and I love the auto standby on/off feature when you open and close the cover. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Loving my shield and this puts me at ease that it's protected.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Amazing headphones, especially for the price. Very crisp mids and highs and a great low frequency bass response that is perfectly suited to compliment the mids and highs. Not overpowering and muddy like beats by dre earbuds. I had a chance to listen to both bose soundtrue earbuds as well as beats by dre earbuds and as soon as you hear these JBLs you can immediately discern the difference in audio quality, especially for music like rock, metal, classical, symphonies, etc. But they still do the job very well for dance and hip hop with a clean bass response. For $50-$60 these are a no brainer and I would have easily paid twice that considering they are much better quality than other $100 range earbuds sets such as the beats and bose earbuds. Another reviewer stated that these are too heavy? Either they weigh 60 lbs or they are considerably weak because these are some of the lightest headphones I have ever handled. JBL even went the extra mile to make these with a tangle free cord and the magnets on the earbuds are great little additions that helps keep them securely around your neck if you're working out.Oh lastly, make sure that if you have an android device you get the android version and for apple products get the ios version as two different versions of these headphones are manufactured.

The best wireless gaming headset for PS4/PC
on December 24, 2014
Posted by: k1zit
Verified Purchase:Yes
Use these for both gaming on my PS4 and PC and I have been blown away. For strictly gaming, this is one of the best, if not the best, headset money can buy. I had logitech G930's and these blow them out of the water. What I really love is they operate on a higher frequency (5.8ghz) vs the standard 2.4ghz that most wireless headsets, including my G930's, operated on. The 2.4ghz is congested and noisy band since most routers, babe monitors, wireless headsets, Bluetooth headsets, cordless phones, etc operate on that frequency. That led to several headset sync issues on my g930's which was utterly annoying. Of course your location has a lot to do with it, but if you have neighbors chances are their router, among other devices, are transmitting on the 2.4 frequency. With these astros I have not had one single drop off and the audio quality is simply unparalleled!

Listen to your favorite songs anywhere with these Bluetooth Audio Technica headphones. They fold inward, letting you conveniently store them when not in-use, and the fitted ear cups prevent outside noise from interfering with sound quality. These Audio Technica headphones run for up to 40 hours on a single charge and have 45mm large-aperture drivers for clear, powerful sound.
Can the 50XBT be charged using a wall adapter like an iPhone cube charger?
It sure can! You would simply need to connect the included USB cable to the wall charger and the other end (Micro-USB side) to the headphones. Just bear in mind that the cable that Audio Technica includes is extremely short!!! (1 ft) so you may want to purchase a longer one or use a longer one that you may already have at home.
