Your household is busy streaming media, working online, and playing games every day. This Linksys Wi-Fi Router will expand your network coverage, send signals directly to your devices, and deliver a lag-free connection, even when you’re all online at the same time.
Posted by: James
This is easily the best router I've ever had. The software took a little while to set up, as I had to sub-net it off my Verizon FiOS router, but once I did, everything was perfect. 8 Ethernet ports means almost everything's wired direct, with only one switch needed for a computer and Smart TV on the second floor, opposite side of the house. Giving a laptop one of the MU-MIMO capable USB dongles means dedicated a data stream for that device, and is so close to wired speeds it's scary. And the range... I can still access my network from the park on the other side of the block from my house. That means, with the 5TB External HDD plugged into the router acting as a Media server using the router's software, that the Wife and I can go to the park and watch a movie of the Network, or just Netflix, on a tablet without paying for a data connection. You get what you pay for, which is A LOT.

The detail that went into bringing this game up to a more modern, HD graphics set shows constantly in how well the game plays. With this game and Wind Waker HD, you've got two of the best games for the Gamecube running amazingly, and looking beautiful, on the Wii U. And getting the version with the Wolf Link Amiibo just means extra Game Content! I already have the Original Link and Ganondorf Amiibos, so I can use those in the extra gamemode if I want to. Just need to get a Zelda, so I can get the Health recharge.

Cuisinart International Chef Crepe/Pizzelle/Pancake Plus Countertop Press: Create dishes from around the globe with this press, which offers a large, nonstick cooking surface and a variety of meal-prep accessories. The adjustable temperature control and timer enable easy operation.
Posted by: James
The plates are removable and reversible, and I believe they're dishwasher friendly. The unit is easy to operate, with clearly labeled dials, and a good, solid latch. The unit comes with a couple tools to make things with, like a wooden cone to roll Sugar cones around, and a Batter scoop, as well as the Recipe book... And here's the ridiculously long list of things the unit comes with recipes for: Silver Dollar Pancakes, Sugar Cones, Chocolate Waffle Cones, Blini, Classic Pizzelle, Sweet Chocolate Pizzelle, Basic Crepes (With a few variations on that specific recipe available), Buckwheat Crepes, Crespelle, Blintzes, Socca, Potato Pancakes (Latkes), Wine Crackers, Four Tortillas (You can probably make Corn tortillas on this thing, but it doesn't include it;s own recipe), Arepas, Carne Mechada, Pita Bread, Mandarin Pancakes with Mu Shu Pork, Spring Rolls, Okonomiyaki (Which is a type of Japanese Pancake), Naan, Chapati, Fresh Green Chutney, Dosa, Sambhar (Which is a South Indian Lentil Stew), Roti, Curries Chickpeas with Potatoes and Spinach, Injera, Doro Wat (Which is an Ethiopian Chicken Stew), and Niter Kibbeh. The value of this one machine is amazing, even if you only make 1/4 of the list, that's still 7 or 8 different things you can make with it. And you'll probably find more things you can use it for while cooking on it, because it's just that awesome.

![Deadpool [Includes Digital Copy] [SteelBook] [Only @ Best Buy] [Blu-ray] [2016]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/5089/5089900_sa.jpg)

This is a fantastic movie, and was overall a very enjoyable watch. But word to the Wise: If your kid is under 16 or so, and you don't want to have to pay for their Therapy, Don't let them watch this movie. It's rated R for a reason. And the writers and director took full advantage of that rating. It's violent, bloody, and disgustingly tasteless at times, as well as being raunchy, and full of very adult humor. This is not something people should be subjecting their children to until they're older, or at least very emotionally prepared for it. Here's the easy solution: Watch it yourself, then decide if you feel comfortable letting your Kids see it.

Keep your phone and other compatible devices charged with this myCharge RAZORMAX RZ60G-A portable power bank that features a 6000 mAh battery for up to 27 hours of talk time. Two built-in USB ports allow you to charge multiple devices at once.
Posted by: James
It looks fairly sleek, it's easy to use, if comes wit ha tiny little MicroUSB cable to connect my phone with, and the capacity is fantastic. This should be able to fully charge a phone at least twice, if not 3 or 4 times, depending on the phone. I have a Note 4, and that has a 3300 mAh battery, and I can just about fully charge it twice from this thing. It's also got a little indicator of charge level that turns on for a few seconds whenever you connect or disconnect anything to it, so you can keep an eye on the charge level. I would only wish for 2 things: 1. Button to show the charge level, instead of it turning on when you connect or disconnect things, and 2. the Lights of the charge indicator should fill up as it re-charges, so you can more easily tell when it will be done re-charging. As of right now, it just blinks all the lights until it's fully charged, so I have no idea when it will be done. But still, it more than does it's jub, so it can have the full 5 Stars.

Great set of functions, easy to get set up
on July 13, 2016
Posted by: James
I was only looking to get a new AC when I bought this, but when I got it home, I was pleasantly surprised to notice that aside from being able to Cool, and obviously run as a Fan, it can also be used as a Dehumidifier. Setup was easy, and with the type of windows in my building it stays in place without needing to screw it into the windows frames, which is great... It keeps it portable. Plus, it's got washable filters across the entire back intake, and everything works flawlessly from the Remote, without having to get up and go over to the unit itself. I love it, it was a fantastic purchase.

GET THE PLAN ON EVERYTHING
on July 13, 2016
Posted by: James
As the title says. Get it on EVERYTHING. Think about it, I bought this on my Air Conditioner, right before moving into a new Apartment. In two or three years, if my AC dies, I can take it in, and get it Replaced. I don't have to but another $350 AC unit out-of-pocket. That's peace of mind, there.

George Foreman Electric Grill: The portable design of this electric grill lets you cook delicious burgers and steaks from the comfort of your kitchen. Enjoy easy food removal with the nonstick cooking surface, and drain away fat into the removable drip tray.
Posted by: James
I was replacing my older George Foreman, and the Wife and I had decided that whatever model we went with needed to have removeable plates, This once fit the bill, and was a small, but reasonable step up in size over our original grill. So far, we're loving it!

Always Get the Program
on July 13, 2016
Posted by: James
I would never buy something without the extended warranty, as long as it's not ridiculously expensive. Knowing that if anything goes wrong they'll fix it or replace it? That's peace of mind I'm willing to pay a bit extra for. Especially since trying to get things repaired or replaced through the Manufacturer (For many companies) is such a run-around, and takes forever if you can even get it done.

Store up to 5TB of media on this Seagate Backup Plus STDT5000100 external hard drive, which features Protect, Save and Share features that enable simple integration with social networking sites and provide comprehensive data management.
Posted by: James
At the time of my purchase, this External HDD was on sale of $129, which was a fantastic price. I normally buy Western Digital hard drives for almost everything, so this was my first Seagate in a while. So far, it's done everything right without issues! The only thing I wasn't expecting was to find that when it was formatted, it only came out to a little over 4.5TB of usable space, but I know that higher capacity drives suffer from those issues.

Send texts, watch videos or play games on your smartphone when you use this UltraLast lithium-ion replacement battery. Compatible with a range of Samsung devices, this phone accessory fits neatly into your phone's battery compartment. The rechargeable feature makes this UltraLast lithium-ion replacement battery conveniently reusable, and instructions printed on the side show you how to install the battery.
Website says no shipping, and no store pick up.....do you even sell this item?
The item was probably moved out-of-stock a while back, but there's probably still a few stores somewhere in the system that have stock of it. They won't ship it because there's none in the warehouses, but they can't remove it from the system because those stores that still have stock still need to be able to sell it. So if you want this battery, you would have to figure out what store or stores in what area even have it, and you're probably looking at quite a road trip.

my Samsung exhilarate is getting hot and battery losses power with in 4 fours. the phone is 3 years old. is it the barrtery or the phone?
Honestly, there's a decent chance it's both. Depending on how you cared for and charged the battery, it's likely that the battery is dying, which would explain the short battery life, but the overheating sounds more like the phone itself. If the phone is 3 years old, I would recommend looking into replacing it either way, as most phones are only meant to last 2 years at the MOST.

If I use this as extra storage and I have installed games on it and lets say move to a new house and I unplug the cable from this to my gaming pc. Do I lose the steam games on my pc?
As long as you dismount it properly before disconnecting it, you won't have issues. You just won't be able to play the game until it's reconnected. However, I VERY STRONGLY RECOMMEND AGAINST installing and playing Steam games off an external HDD, as both the read/write speed will become an issue, as these drives tend to be slower to save energy and keep them running smoothly, and also there will be major issues with performance from trying to run games over the USB 3.0 Connection. Trust me, it's better to just do the extra little bit of work to try and install another internal HDD in the computer. The only reason Console owners run games off externals HDDs is because it's often the only way they can, and it comes at the cost of a great deal of performance loss.

Can this hard drive be partitioned ?
This can be partitioned just like you would any other hard drive.

What if any security is there?
I need to be able to lock it down or at least protect the data that is on the drive.
With the included software, you can encrypt the data on the drive completely, or piecemeal. It's fairly easy to set up. I believe you can even make it so a person can't even see how much of what kind of files are on the drive, without knowing the proper passwords.
