Was expecting more, very disappointed

I use it in...:Large home
I bought this router after I read all the fantastic reviews on here and on CNET, PCMag & Engadget. Let me tell you, I was disappointed and am taking the router back.
First after I did a setup it said it had a FW update. I did the update and this caused the router (even after a hard reset after update), all of my network drives, items to not see each other. I spent almost 10 hours researching the problem and finally had to do several resets and update the FW again by doing it manually. Finally my LAN was reachable.
Once I did that my 5Ghz rate standing right next to the router was 300Mbps. That's it. Upload and download speeds were half my Netgear R6300. My Netgear covered my entire house, this covered about half.
I would not buy this router again and in further research doubt I would ever buy another ASUS router
My Best Buy number: 0754514860
What's great about it: Size, pretty easy to setup
What's not so great: Stock firmware is horrible, FW updates caused a serious issue, 5Ghz speed is nowhere near advertised
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Never thought I'd buy another Xbox
on December 31, 2013
Posted by: csewrx
from Ozark, MO
I never thought I'd buy another Xbox, but I did. For years I had the 360 and PS3 and was always a PS3 fan.
I wasn't going to buy either of the current systems but after research and playing with it at my local BBY store, I bought the Xbox One. And I love it.
I really like the games, graphics, the kinnect functions. They need support for DLNA (it has some but very limited) and the current set of games don't do it justice. Yet.
BE WARNED though, do NOT buy BF4 for it or the PS4 for that matter. That game has numerous issues.
My Best Buy number: 754514860
What's great about it: Games, Graphics, TV functions, Kinnect
What's not so great: DLNA support is limited, hard drive isn't big enough, takes a while to install games
I would recommend this to a friend!

Battlefield 4 is the genre-defining action blockbuster made from moments that blur the line between game and glory. Fueled by the next-generation power and fidelity of the Frostbite 3 engine, this epic sequel provides a visceral, dramatic experience you haven't yet experienced on the Battlefield.Only on the Battlefield can you experience Levolution, which allows you to change the landscape in real-time with interactive environments that react to your every move. Lead an assault from the back of a gun boat, or personally turn the tide of battle as you lead your squad in Command mode. Battlefield grants you the freedom to do more and be more while playing to your strengths and carving your own path to victory. In addition to its hallmark multiplayer, Battlefield 4 features an intense, dramatic character-driven campaign that starts with the evacuation of American VIPs from Shanghai and follows your squad's perilous journey. There is no comparison. You thrive amid the glorious chaos of all-out war. Legends are made on the Battlefield.

This game is horrible, save your $$$

I bought this game because I was a fan of the Battlefield series. I bought it first for PS3. The campaign was not very good and online was ok. A few weeks after I bought it, I bought an Xbox One.
***BE WARNED. PS4 and Xbox One versions of this game have very serious issues. If you play campaign, the game saves won't save. I've had to start over twice.
In addition online hardly ever works. I've only been able to play about 3 hours worth in 4 weeks. That's it. And DICE and EA are doing NOTHING at all for their customers. I wouldn't buy this game at all until or IF they fix it.
My Best Buy number: 754514860
What's great about it: Fun, IF it works
What's not so great: Game saves will disappear, online hardly ever works, NO support from EA or Dice at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I personally liked this movie and in 3D it's awesome. It's a Harold and Kumar movie, so if you buy it for the epic plot, keep moving. It's a good and funny movie and great to chill out too
What's great about it: Funny movie
What's not so great: The plot, I mean seriously....LOL

I bought this along with the R6300 router since my Apple airport died. I have a fairly large home and extending the 5Ghz range throughout my house was important. This along with the router have done that. I can get the 5Ghz all the way thru my house (over 2,200 sq feet) and up the street a bit as well. Make sure you set all wireless on this to use the 5Ghz back to router, even if your wireless accessory only uses 2.4Ghz so you get max speed. The setup took a bit, even with the push button security, but once you get it, it will work fantastic
What's great about it: Works great with R6300 Netgear router, fairly easy to set up, ads a ton of range to my network
What's not so great: Setup can be tricky
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this with the Samsung UN46ES8000FXZA tv. The 3D is fantastic, blu-rays look great. It's a bit difficult to set up, but once you do it works great.
What's great about it: Picture quality, DLNA, Smart Hub
What's not so great: Bit pricey for what you get

SynopsisYou've received your assignment, hustled into a helicopter and skillfully maneuvered into the murky abyss of a mysterious land — with one deadly mission on your mind. You slip and sneak through dangerous territory. You spot an enemy in the distance and raise your rifle as you aim with precision. With a nearly silent pop, he drops lifelessly from view, as you press on, planting explosives to carve your way through secured fortresses, removing classified information and leaving only a trail of smoke in your wake. Welcome to a new kind of war. Tomorrow, the government will deny that your operation ever occurred. Your location will be obscured. Your alibi will be written. The war will be erased from history. But today, you bask in the glory of a perfect kill.Call of Duty: Black Ops is the latest installment in the Call of Duty franchise and the follow-up to last year's blockbuster Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The Cold War has ended — or at least, it appears that it has. You are one of the few to know the secrets of the deadly conflicts that persist and to complete the classified operations that quietly protect the nation. You are Black Ops. Descend into the explosive combat with all-new force and all-new technologies to destroy the enemy, including new Killstreaks like Napalm Strikes, a remote-controlled explosive device and controllable helicopters. A deadlier mission than ever requires the most intensive Combat Training yet — hone your tactics offline against A.I. bots in both Free-For-All and Team Deathmatch modes and earn COD Points to purchase equipment, attachments, perks and new customization options. Further test your nerves and weapon skills in point-gambling Wager Matches, and celebrate each epic kill in Theater Mode. You are being summoned — do you have the courage to answer a grave new Call of Duty?

This game is decent
on November 10, 2010
Posted by: csewrx
from Ozark, MO
I'm not a huge gamer, but I do enjoy my games and games that are good with a good story line. MW2 was a huge success and I loved playing it, this one though is ok. Not great, but not horrible. I was hoping Treyarch would pick up the ball and run with it and give MW2 a run for it's money but alas they didn't.
Good - It's a fun game to play and has a decent story line in campaign mode. The graphics are pretty good but it still has that WAW (World At War) feel to the graphics which are outdated. Multiplayer is not bad and I do like how you earn money and can buy weapons, accessories sooner w/o having to play up to 50 to get them all.
Not so good - Same WAW feel to it. Online can be glitchy and choppy and the maps are no where near huge enough to play on. I played for 4 hours opening night and saw only 5 maps and kept playing the same ones over and over. Glitches online were the same junk as with WAW and got booted many times. I'm sure they'll fix this since there were 5 million players but this should have been though of before hand. Story line needs some serious work to it. The game in felt too easy to play.
Bottom line - Look, it is what it is. It's not worth all the hype Treyarch put into it, but it's a good game to play for $60 for something to do over the holiday. I doubt I'll buy another Treyarch game and I fear that it will be the end of the COD franchise with Infinity Ward disbanding which was a bad move on EA's part. I don't regret the $60 decision but I was more than a little PO'd that I bought into the hype from a Treyarch product.
What's great about it: Worth the $60 of fun
What's not so great: Graphics, slow game play, same old Treyarch stuff
I would recommend this to a friend!
