This USB works great for me. One thing I really like is the Medal portion that goes into the computer recedes into the drive when not in use and clicks in as well. So, you know it is receded completely. The size is great too...Both the size of the flash drive and the capacity. Works great for every job I have given it so far. I would buy another. Actually, I already have.

This is a great item to have for backup purposes. I am currently using it to backup pieces of one of our DB servers. One things I really like about this flashdrive is when you push the USB portion out it locks in place so it doesn't slide back into its compartment when you try to plug it into your computer. This is a move forward in usability.

Will charging the battery before it's fully discharged affect the life of the battery?

Does it have the kind of battery with the "memory effect"?
I always fully charge the battery and discharge the battery down under 10% twice before using the charging procedure through normal use. I have seen it is good to do this and generally the battery lasts longer. It is also good to discharge the battery once a month. Although many will tell you that batteries of today don't need that, I find it does help. And, if anything, it doesn't hurt. What is cool about this laptop is after it fully charges, the charger quits charging the battery. With that said and is there for you to consider, I don't feel your question affects the battery as long as you do the initial process and discharge your battery down as close to 5%-10% once a month. That allows the battery to know what LOW is. I have been told it is not good to completely discharge a battery. Just so you know, these are all opinions. No one really knows what is best other than through experience.

Garmin nüvi 2597LMT Portable GPS: Take this portable GPS along for your next trip, so you can enjoy spoken directions that mention recognizable buildings and other landmarks to guide you. With 10 million points of interest, you'll be able to travel to a variety of locales across the U.S. and Canada.
 

How can I transfer addresses from an old Garmin to the nuvi 2597LMT?

You will want to load Garmin Express on your computer. Then make a backup of your GPS favorites to your computer. Click on your GPS icon and then click on Tools to backup your Favorites. After backing up your favorites you can disconnect the old GPS and connect your new GPS. After or before loading all the updates and such to your new GPS, you will want to Click on the icon for your new GPS, Click Tools (which is the same place you backed up your old GPS) and go down a little more and there you can select the Old GPS and load that backup of your Favorites to your new GPS.

Does this router have a firewall and what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a router with a firewall?

Need a new wireless router but after researching different ones, I have so many questions, including the one above!

Also, is WPA or WPA 2 a better type of encryption?
Yes it does have a firewall. Very easy to access and utilize. You are able to block anything you wish specifically and there are categories you can block too. This is a great router. You are also able to send logs to an email to view what end users are accessing.

Is there repeater functionality on this router?

We are in a large office. Can I buy two of these and connect them to extend the network? We want to keep it all the same network.
Yes! You can setup these Routers as Repeaters. When logging on as an Administrator you can go to the Repeater section toward the bottom of the listed options. You check a checkbox and submit. The router turns into an accepting repeater. The downside of setting it up as a repeater is you cannot use the web filtering app that is on the device.
