Very nice router, clear upgrade for my network
on January 2, 2017
Posted by: ChrisR
I have not used a Linksys network product in several years. I replaced a dual band ASUS router with the WRT3200ACM, and while I had been mostly happy with my previous router this was a clear upgrade. Dead spots that previously existed in my house were no longer an issue and the need for an access point on the top floor of my house was no longer necessary. The Linksys WRT3200ACM cleared up all the "little hiccups" that I had just grown accustomed to and accepted. Network access is fast even with 24 devices connected either by wifi or by wire, and no lag or drops outs have happened in the 4 weeks I've had this in place.
Installation was a breeze whether you're experienced and use the manual setup, or more of a novice and use the guided setup. I was up an running in less than 10 minutes with internet access, and had my entire network switched over to running off this router in less than 30 minutes.
The graphical user interface is easy to understand, and it is easy to quickly get to the section you want to make any changes. I have not found or experienced any problems with the UI at this point.
Price is on par with other higher end routers, and I think you get what you pay for with this device.
All in all I am very happy with this router so far!

Only at Best BuySafeguard your Apple iPad Air 2 with this Modal MD-PD6SC2B smart case that features polyurethane material for lasting protection while maintaining a stylish design.
Posted by: ChrisR
Was not sure about buying a "non-Apple" case for an ipad, but it turned out that I really like this case... as much or more than the Apple smart case. It feels good to the touch and protects the iPad well. Very nice alternative to the Apple made cases.

Great dock for the Surface Book
on October 31, 2015
Posted by: ChrisR
This dock works great and has all the ports you would typically need (of course we always want more USB, but this has sufficient ports for most applications). The dock is very heavy, which I see as a plus because it helps keep the dock from scooting around all over your desk. The single wire connection to the Surface book really simplfies "docking".

Very good hybrid, few minor suggestions
on October 31, 2015
Posted by: ChrisR
PRO's:
This is a very good tablet/laptop hybrid. The machine is fast and very responsive. The display is good and the touch panel works great. When undocked from the keyboard the "tablet" portion is VERY light. When docked it is on par with a light/slim laptop.

Complaints/Missing features:
#1. They should have put a kickstand on the tablet so you could prop it up when undocked. This would have been such a simple addition given it is already available on the Surface Pro... this seems like an oversight that I would think they'll add in the next revision. Yes, I know this is marketed as a laptop, but it would only increase the flexibility of this device.

#2. I'm not a huge fan of the undock button being a switch that only works if the device is powered. I will have to see how this plays out in real life use after I've had it for a longer period of time. Seems like a nice physical switch would have been a better idea. I tried to undock it last night and was told "Charging, try again later". What if I want to just take the tablet and power cord with me, and not take the keyboard?
Overall, so far I really like the device and have only seen a few minor drawbacks.

Well... "this isn't meant to be used undocked with a kickstand on a table", really? Then it shouldn't detach from the keyboard at all. Yes, I understand it is a laptop first and a tablet second, but as long as you are able to detach the display and make it a tablet it would benefit from a way to stand it up on its own.
