Missed Opportunity
on June 5, 2016
Posted by: CMCMom29
I have a small corner of my home where wi-fi is not the most reliable, so I thought this would be a good solution. The problem that I have with items like this, is that they take up the ENTIRE outlet. I don't have that many outlets in my home. I'm not sure why they don't make it easier for it to multi-task.
I also have an extender so that I can use a wired connection (which takes up an entire wall outlet but also has an outlet). I require a wired connection to work at home. This unit only has a ethernet "in" port, and not an "out", so I couldn't replace my extender because it doesn't have the functionality I need. Again, I would think that it could have both options in the same unit.
We are planning to move soon, so maybe it will be something I can utilize in the new home.

So far, so good after a rough start
on May 21, 2016
Posted by: CMCMom29
I have U-verse for my internet service. I had an issue with a router being hooked up to my U-Verse when they first installed years ago, so I had wanted to make sure the modem I had was compatible with the EA9500. I contacted Linksys online support via chat (sidebar: I LOVE being able to connect to companies via chat rather than on the phone). The first person I connected with transferred our chat to another specialized rep. I was online with him for THREE HOURS trying to get this router to work. In the end, he had me do what I would have done in the first place, which was plug it into my modem directly. So, my trying to avoid spending a lot of time setting up an (potentially) incompatible unit was all for naught, as I ended up spending more time on it anyway.
That said, once we were hooked up, the unit works like a charm. The speeds on the 2.4 GHz connection are 19.39 mbps download, and 4.60 mbps upload. The 5 GHz is 27.86 mbps download and 3.98 mbps upload. According to AT&T, my Service Capability Speed for my plan is 18.1 Mbps - 24 Mbps.
Connecting to the network was pretty seamless once set up was complete. It's nice to have an app to be able to manage my settings. It also has the ability to set up Guest Internet access, and Parental Controls.
I'm pretty happy with this item. I wish the setup information would h have been clearer from the start, though - I would have saved three hours.

Good budget tablet
on May 20, 2016
Posted by: CMCMom29
I'm not a huge fan of Acer products, as I previously owned a less-than-steller Acer laptop. I'm also not a lover of the Android operating system, but this tablet may be bringing me into the fold.
I also have an iPad Air 2 that I use on a daily basis. Because the iPad would cost so much to replace, I don't usually travel with it. This tablet seems like it would do what I need it to, and I can feel a little more at ease traveling with it.
One thing I noticed was that it feels heavier in the hand than the iPad does. It's thin enough, though, that it still feels manageable. The operating system is Android 5.1 (Lollipop). It does feel a little slower than my Samsung S7, but not annoying so. When I open the multi window view, it takes a couple of seconds for the "X" in the right corner to appear before I can close any apps.
The setup was fairly easy, but not as intuitive as the Samsung. You aren't paying Samsung prices for this unit, though. The syncing with my Google account was pretty seamless.
I like the texture on the rear of the case. Usually, with my electronics, I feel that I have to protect it from all manner of scratches, so I will order skins to put on the back. Because of the material this tablet is made from, it resists fingerprints and scratches.
I found the accessories assortment completely lacking. I like to keep my electronics in heavy duty cases, and the Acer really doesn't have a robust offering of add-ons in that regard.
All in all, I think it's a good investment for the price point. It's not a Galaxy or a iPad, but it gets the job done.

Love this bag!

I have this bag and I love it. It's quite spacious for what I need to carry. I have an HP Stream 13" laptop in it's own sleeve, the power cord, a portable cooling fan for the computer, as well as a lot of misc. items. Everything is easy to find and pack. It will fit up to a 17" laptop (I've tried it) and it does fit, though not in the designated laptop pocket. If you have that large of a laptop then you'd have to use the main pocket. The quality is great and I love the material. The only suggestion I would make to the manufacturer would be to offer an optional cross body strap. Other than that, you can't go wrong with this bag.

OK Camera, Not What I Needed
on January 3, 2015
Posted by: CMCMom29
from Michigan
Purchased this camera after speaking to an associate and discussing my needs; the suggestion was I give this one a try. I was replacing an Nikon L810 that I purchased a couple of years ago that I've never been happy with. I would have liked to make the jump to a DSLR, but I didn't have the budget nor the spare time for one, and I was nervous to try another "bridge camera". This was my first Canon purchase.
The Wi-Fi feature is a nice feature, but impractical to use. Very disappointed that Canon doesn't include a USB cable, but it's just as easy to remove the smart card and upload the photos that way. The camera itself was heavy for a Point and Shoot, and the case seemed slippery to me. I was using in the cold, so that could have been part of it.
The zoom is great and the sound quality is impressive for video on a Point and Shoot. However, the video quality is grainy and, to me, was worse than what I can do on my iPhone 6. The photos are clear, but not what I'd expect for the price. I primarily tried it in low light conditions and just wasn't impressed. I ended up returning it and trying another Canon camera.

Run, Don't Walk, Away from this Dishwasher
on April 12, 2014

I purchased this model in November 2012 to replace an existing dishwasher. For the first month, the unit worked well. Then a few dishes started not being clean. Silverware still had food on them. We thought it was the detergent, so we tried a few different brands. That helped temporarily. We tried loading the dishwasher differently, no change. Then, right after the warranty expired, the Sanitize indicator light on the front panel started blinking instead of staying solidly lit at the end of the cycle. The dishes, while never really dry at the end of the cycle, were becoming even less so. A horrible odor started coming from the unit. We thought it was the drain, then we thought it was the garbage itself, before discovering that it came from the dishwasher. The dishes that were clean appeared to be washed, but they smelled terrible. I would have to air everything out. The few unclean dishes became several; 50% to 75% of the silverware stayed dirty. The silverware rack is a terrible design and constantly came apart when lifting it up to empty it. I called Whirlpool, to no avail. So, I called a local repair person who first replaced the heating element, which did nothing to fix the issues. Then he came back and said it was the relay switch, so the motherboard needed replacing. Between the two repairs, it would be near the cost of replacing the unit itself. I now have to buy a new dishwasher. SO disappointed.

You have to treat the book and the movie as two separate entities - the movie is an ADAPTATION of the book. If you go in thinking it will be 100% faithful, you will be disappointed.
That said, I really enjoyed the movie. Will it win any awards? No (makeup, maybe). However, if you love romances set in lush locales and set to haunting music, then this movie is for you.
I really liked Rob Pattinson's interpretation of Edward. I could see Bella falling for him. I wasn't in love with Bella's portrayal, but that is due to the combination of the material and the actress chosen to play her. I think it's more material, though - or maybe direction.
All in all, it was a very enjoyable movie. I recommend reading the book first, though, if you haven't already.
What's great about it: Chemistry between the two leads, the locations, the soundtrack (music)
What's not so great: Acting a bit stilted, strays from the book in many parts, some choppy editing
