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.

I read as many reviews as possible about this router and the Asus RT-AC3200. I settled for this one and decided that it would replace my Netgear R6300. Setup was extremely easy. So easy that one may think there should be more to the router based on the price. I'm using the Arris SB6190 cable modem with comcast high speed internet. Speeds are great for my hard-wired desktop. 240 Mbps download and 12 Mbps upload. The 5ghz (combined) is fast as well. 185 Mbps download and 12 Mbps upload. The 2.4ghz is decent. 88 Mbps download and 12 Mbps upload.
Now, for the disappointment. One word. Disconnects. When my devices are connected wireless to the 5ghz bands, they disconnect often. The 2.4ghz works great. The 5ghz band does not have great range either. I still have to use my Netgear wifi extender when I am upstairs if i want to use the 5ghz band. My home is roughly 1500sqft. I called Linksys and they told me that the 5ghz is for speed and the 2.4ghz is for range. Basically, you can't go far fast. If that makes sense.
More disappointment. After trying a few things independently to correct the dropping of the 5ghz band, I called Linksys again. After 3 minutes of troubleshooting (reading from a script), the lady put me on hold for about 5 minutes. She came back and asked me if i had a wireless microwave. I told her I did not. she proceeded to tell me that my brand new router was defective and that I should send it back. I have smart bulbs, smart switches and security cameras all setup with this router. It will be a royal PITA to have to reconfigure them.
Please do your research. Everyone will have a different experience but you should be prepared to deal with subpar support and if you fail to buy the protection plan from Best Buy, you will have to go through Linksys to have your router replaced. I have not decided whether I will replace it or not. My apologies on the long review.

Take this Samsung EP-PG920IWUGUS wireless charger with you and keep your compatible Samsung cell phone ready for use, wherever you are. The lightweight design simplifies portability.

I received this charging pad free with the purchase of my Note5. It has yet to fully charge my phone. When the phone reaches 83% battery life, the charger stops charging. I removed my S-View case from the phone and that wasn't the issue. The blue light on the charger begins to flash and that was the indicator that it had stopped charging. I would remove the phone from the charger and wait for the light to stop flashing. I would put the phone back on the charger and it would begin charging again but would stop at 91%. I returned my first charger and the new one does the same thing. I spent 3 hours sending direct messages to Samsung support on twitter but now they're not responding to me. I guess there isn't much left to do since the device was free.

Snap photos of family and friends with this digital camera that features 18x optical zoom and offers compositional flexibility with a 35mm-equivalent focal range from 25-450mm for both close-ups and wide-angle shots.

I bought this camera on a Wednesday and it was back at Best Buy on the Saturday. I have to be fair and state that this camera takes decent pictures if the object is within 5 to 10 feet. Beyond that, good luck. I brought this camera to the MAAC tournament in attempt to get some great action photos. I had court side seats so I figured the photos i took, would've been great. With the camera in "sport" mode under the scene selection, I took what I thought were great pictures. When I got home and downloaded them to the PC, I was very upset. The photos were blurry. Court side seats did not require much zoom but for some reason, the pictures were awful. My hand is steady so that was not the issue.
This camera was so awful, I decided to go with a DSLR. I spent an extra $400 more just to get a decent camera. I bought the Canon EOS T2i DSLR. Instead of replacing a point and shoot every 2 years, the DSLR should last me a very long time.
I usually buy a product after I read the reviews from numerous sites. I did not do that with this camera because the one I went to purchase, was actually pretty horrible in the store so the salesman recommended this one. I learned my lesson. I will never buy a product without doing my research. The LCD on the Nikon is a trickster. It makes things look nice and clear until you get them onto a PC.
What's great about it: Size
What's not so great: Quality of Photos
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
