Good things come in threes!
on December 12, 2016
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
The Google Wifi Ac1200 Dual-band Whole Home Wi-fi System is fast, clean, and effective! Whether you have a small home or large office, this 3-pack is just the ticket.
It provides blazing fast speeds that can keep up with any of your wifi demands, yet communicates well between the pods to help ensure seamless internet access with no drops or downtime.
Pros
- Easy to set up
- Google reliability
- Uses current technology (USB-C)
- Google App works for both Android and iPhone
- Fast and Reliable
- Cost is on par for similar products but covers a larger area with the 3-pack
Cons
- Requires a power socket available at each location for pods (can be difficult if you don't use a power strip)
- Uses the USB-C (not everyone is using this type of connect yet so it may be unusual for some people)
- Cost can be high if you don't need 3 units, consider the 1 pack if you are trying to cover a smaller area.

Must have companion to the Philips Sonicare
on November 15, 2016
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
This 2 pack of replacement brush heads are a must have companion to the Philips Sonicare - Flexcare Platinum Connected Toothbrush.
Over time, tooth brushes must be replaced for effectiveness and for health reasons. The Philips Sonicare allows you to change our brush heads whenever you or the app decides it is time or for multiple users.
Pros
Cost effective - little more than paying for 2 quality regular toothbrushes
Custom designed for your Sonicare
Easy to use
Cons
Packaging seems a little excessive for only 2 brush heads
This is a must have item if you own a Philips Sonicare. Get it!

This Router Is A BEAST!!
on October 20, 2016
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
In a world where technology seems to get smaller and smaller, the Linksys WRT AC3200 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi router goes Beast Mode on the competition! I found it to be a bit larger than the traditional Linksys wireless routers of old, but still functional for the shelf where I use it. The 4 antennas allow for a complete home signal - our home is approximately 2000 sq ft and 2 floors. No problems or blind spots anywhere. Provides both 5 Ghz and 2.4 GHz bands for older and newer wireless equipment but maintains blazing speeds on both.
I was pleasantly surprised by the immediate power and throughput of this router. There is a noticeable difference in streaming and gaming quality experiences. This unit is replacing my N-technology 750 level router, which I thought was doing a great job. After putting the AC3200 through the ringer, with 2 Netflix streams, Xbox One online gaming, and 2 cell phones streaming music, there was never a glitch in performance... as was the case on my old router. My speedtest resulted in 98.97 mbps download and 24.xx mbps upload - all while multiple devices were accessing it. Awesome!
This is a MUST HAVE wireless router for any serious gamer or those families who are always connected! Get the Beast and get an amazing experience!!

This is just an OEM replacement for the one that comes with your Fitbit Charge HR... WAY TOO SHORT. There seems to be very little option out there for a longer version. Thought this was longer than the original, but was wrong so I returned it.

IT was good in its day... BUT
on December 16, 2014
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Greater Seattle Area
If you have small hands and are not a power user, or even a moderate user, then this might work for you for the price. I am currently using it as a backup for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in repairs with Geek Squad.
PROS - small, compact, bright screen (almost too bright), loud ringtones, 4G LTE capable, can control with a thumb as the screen is small enough, WIFI.
CONS - too small for large hands, screen too small for big fingers, slow, OS freezes often on more than basic usage, will not accept a SD card larger than 32gb, barely acceptable usability beyond basic phone without WIFI.
LG has come a VERY LONG WAY since the Lucid and Spectrum models. It is a good thing too... they were nearly run out of the Cell Phone business. If you like LG get a G2 or G3 as you will be much happier with it that this older model.

Great entry or intermediate knife set...
on December 16, 2014
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
This is a great (forged - sort of) knife set and razor sharp out of the box. I say "forged sort-of" because the working knives are true forged, however the steak knives are not - thus my 4 of 5 rating.
It is a small set, so you will only get 4 working knives, a generic set of shears (plastic - the exact same set as many other brands), and 8 steak knives.
Overall, I am pleased with the set including the feel and sharpness.
Pros - Sharp, Good Feel in hand, Compact footprint on counter top, Meets the need of most cooks in a home kitchen setting, Brand Quality, Price!
Cons - Steak knives are not forged, limited number of working knives, plastic handles on scissors, No sharpening tool.

beautiful tv, no content.

I bought this tv to future proof against 4k, its a great tv, and is good for viewing regular old 1080 stuff. but sometimes the smooth motion... isnt so smooth. its really bad when you notice it, but when it works, it looks great. still, the lack of content is disappointing.

The right HDMI Port - Makes the Difference
January 22, 2015
Make sure you have the signal inputted into the high def HDMI port. We made this mistake at first and everything was choppy - especially fast motion. Switched to port 5 I think it is and the image is PERFECT even with fast motion!

NOT what the hype makes it out to be!
By DrHedrick from Western Washington
So far, after about 5 days, I am somewhat disappointed with the Galaxy S6. The battery life sucks compared to the Note 2 I am switching from. It is very laggy and definitely not "snappy" as per the many claims. Sometimes it must be restarted to be able to use it as the fingerprint unlock and alternate keyboard unlock do not work and the phone blacks out after 3 seconds. Only 32GB available onboard and I have the over half-way filled at this point and no way to expand it with a sealed phone. The fingerprint scanner is fair, but useless while driving. Hard to navigate or find previously easy to use settings. Notifications are frustrating since they all are OFF out of the box.
As a somewhat power user, I wish I had opted for the Note 4/Edge instead of settling for the S6.
The few Pros I can offer are the following...
1. The screen and clarity is amazing
2. The pictures and videos are equally amazing
3. Smaller and lighter than the Note series
4. Interesting new features, although I have not had time to fully explore them.
There are better options available if you can afford them... ie- Galaxy Note series!

A Great Idea crippled by horrible App
By OmieOne from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a great idea. Three routers with a backhaul over Mu-MIMO. In theory could get good coverage for a house and for the people who get this to work I'm sure it is a great product. I have wasted over 3 hours over two days trying to get this router to work. I can only get one Node configured. The other two nodes won't connect event when I place the nodes right next to each other, I still get errors like out of range.
My experience has been very poor. Please note to setup and administrator this router IT REQUIRES and IOS or ANDROID DEVICE. This app is not in the Amazon store. I have a few of the cheaper Amazon tablets and figured while I wait for my new Android phone I could use that or worse case like EVERY OTHER ROUTER ON THE MARKET I could hardwire or connect to default wireless network and setup the routers via a web page. No. If you try Linksys Mocks you and tells you must use an app. I had to borrow an android phone to setup this up to test. I should have stopped there. I don’t mind apps and it would be fine if the app was useful. But it isn't. It was written under the assumption you would not have a problem, but the number of times I've tried to add Nodes to this and got told, hey you'll need a plug etc. It takes like 5 clicks to start the add a node process. Not ideal, esp. if you notice someone keeps trying stop making me over click. Seeing it say Uh-Oh press the red reset button and have it not really fix the issue just induces rage, or when it says it is setting up and just hangs, no good.
Also, when the nodes don't connect there is no useful information. The Linksys Range extender I have gave me more information via the web page then this app on if they are two far or close.
Additionally, I've tried resetting the system, via the reset button, but I have no idea if that is working since I can't connect to the router except via the app and it doesn't tell me if it is back to default connection. Additionally, this app connects to your Velop via an Internet cloud connection. It is faster when your connected via wireless to the node, but still have that little cloud connection, and I'm not a fan of having to connect to a Cloud service that I can't two factor protect and won't use the full keyboard of symbols forcing me to use an extra-long password to protect my router.
This setup experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth and crippled what could be a good idea. The single router when it was working I checked my phone, and I know it is using both 5Gz and 2.4Gz still have me a strong signal throughout my house and only needs one. But I was looking forward to using this to extend some LAN ports to a few places and saving me a few 50ft. cords I have in the house. With the backhaul it would have been able to cover the data my switches have.
Other cons no USB ports so if you have a printer or USB HDD on your current router, you'll need to consider other options if you go with this.
I really wanted to like it, but not providing a customer with additional tools or an easy way via the app to reset or control the router is frustrating. I know my next step is to try this weekend to contact customer service open a case and see if they can fix it. But even if they get it working, the fact that I must use an Android App, and can’t use a desktop to manage it, makes me worry what will happen if it goes wrong or worse since it is app only what will happen when someone finds a vulnerability in the cloud service Linksys uses to connect back to the routers and start messing with them. I wish they would at least have some form of two factor and allow for more complex passwords, or at the very least once the initial setup is done disable the external web connection cloud service and only allow the app to work when I’m locally connected.
For everyone who got this to work I’m sure this will be the product, just hope you don’t have an issue that requires troubleshooting.
On the one working node I did test the speed and it seemed over wireless my EA9500 was more consistent and a bit faster from the same source and destination for a large file copy, but the Velop was close enough that most people wouldn’t notice anything. I also tested the single working node with some online gaming, both in the other Ethernet slot and wireless and I didn’t notice any performance impact. Since I can’t get all the nodes I have tested true load to report, but I’m sure others who have it working will, and I’m sure once I work with Linksys support I can get this system working it will be fine and provide me with spotless coverage. Just the whole having to use an app, and what I feel a limited and poorly designed app, and have it forced down on us with no backup connection has left a sour feeling and makes me worry about what will happen in the future if these devices go wonky, I won’t be able to troubleshoot, reset/fix as quickly as I could in the past and to be fair to Linksys this is a new product just out and they may fix the app and hopefully add other versions or allow access to the web service locally to manage them. Just know that if you are looking for a mesh like network this isn’t a bad router, but it seems to be crippled by an over simplified app, that is limited to two platforms and requires Internet connectivity to full function.

Two questions not answered on the web page for this device. 1. Is this product backward compatible for use with g and n Wi-Fi devices? 2. How many wired Ethernet/LAN connections are there in the base unit? Thank you.

You can use this system as it is backward compatible as most systems today are.

Each node is the same. It has 2 ethernet ports on the back. If you use a wired setup such as in an office, then you can use these ports one input and one output. If you are using as a wifi connected setup only, I have found that only the 1st (connected) node works for plugging other things into it.

I literally purchased the Linksys AC3200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Router 6 days ago for a 2600 sq. ft. home. Can I buy this system to SUPPLEMENT my new router or do I need to REPLACE my router with this system? GAMING IS IMPORTANT so no compromising please.

You can supplement your router with these, however, you would be adding a new network so-to-speak rather than creating a true mesh network.
You have a few options...
1. Return your AC3200 since you are within your 14 day window with Best Buy and get this system
2. Keep you AC3200 and set up the nodes as a separate network
3. Keep you AC3200 and set up the nodes as a bridge setting to expand your coverage range

How do I determine if I need one two or three satelites?

It all depends on the size of space you need to cover. Assume that if 3 covers a space of 4500 sq ft that 2 would cover 3000 sq ft. Thus, 1 would cover 1500 sq ft.
