If you want to test out the waters, see what these SSD's will do this is a great place to start. Pop it in, install the latest version of Ubuntu and see how fast that old laptop that you were getting to retire really can be.

While it does not pay to "upgrade" these days, but to repair what you have or test install a Ubuntu without trying to dual boot. Here's your drive.

Good all around router
on March 13, 2017
Posted by: GlitchGuy
from Hawkinsville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
One size does not fit all in routers. But if you are planning on streaming, getting a little more speed and distance than your 5 year old router, this is your replacement without breaking the bank. I would consider the price point to be the beginning range but performance is way up there with others double or triple the cost. It is AC so it will work with more future products but does a superb job with current technologies with out all the features that no one uses.

Good extender
on February 28, 2017
Posted by: GlitchGuy
from Hawkinsville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This unit does what it says it will do. However I wish they would repeat the same SSID as the older line did. That seamless SSID or roaming is much easier for users to understand. That being said, it works well in those hard to reach areas and has cat5 Port if needed to extend network further.

Good web camera for the money
on February 28, 2017
Posted by: GlitchGuy
from Hawkinsville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a number of wireless cameras around the home to keep track of things. Don't really need DVR function, more to see if garage door is open, lights left on, etc. This unit was easy to setup and picture quality is very good. Having the ability to set ports, open to a current web browser is a plus. About the only negative I can see is the app for iPhone and or the location of the device on WiFi is a little slow. Interesting the web interface is fast as any other of my cameras, so I really don't think it's the WiFi. Anyway, I will be purchasing more of these, since some of my old Linksys WVC80's are getting a little dated.

looks like it will do the job
on February 28, 2017
Posted by: GlitchGuy
from Hawkinsville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
At first I could not get the units to work together, on the 3rd try, with them a little closer together I was able to get them to sync up. Having only 1 SSID and password across the network was critical for my customer. Linksys made some repeaters that you could do this with but the current models want a different SSID set, meaning that there is no seamless roaming on many products. They try to hold onto the weaker signal till it's gone, then move to the next SSID. This does work for the technically challenged at all. The home I was trying to cover was not large but laid out in a manner that was not even good for repeaters nor running wires. So far so good and will probably ad at least one more antenna and possibly two to get complete coverage everywhere they want signal to reach. Throughput on these were among the best I tested. I will be using them again for other customers that need wireless to just work.

Look Ma no charging blocks
on February 14, 2017

from Hawkinsville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
It is great to be able to be rid of charging blocks and plug USB cords directly in. Seems to work with all devices so far. The only drawback on this model is not meant for daisy chain circuits. If you have AC to this outlet only, works like a charm. A second feed to another outlet you may not have room on the single set of screws.

Perfect starter security system

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great for at least my needs. I have 3 exterior doors, this system comes with 3 door / window sensors and a motion sensor. For the price and the app it works great. You simply setup an account, plug the brain into your router, stick on the sensors to the doors. Let the brain find them, rename them so you know what's what. In most cases I just want to know if a door has been opened so there is a notification feature that sends instant message to your phone, at home or away. You can also look at the history. Used along with a video surveillance system, it gives you that needle in the haystack I've been looking for.

Avoid data loss during unexpected power outages with this APC battery backup. Plug in up to seven devices and let the two surge protectors keep your critical electronics protected. This APC battery backup delivers a battery run time of up to 5.9 hours, which provides plenty of time to save and back up your work.
 

I need to run a PC, Monitor, Printer, Modem, Router, and phone. How big a unit will need my needs?

This should be sufficient to run all but the printer if it is a laser printer. Laser printer is an inductive load and will lower the reserve power or time you have on battery backup.

Would this work to operate a 3 position power lift recliner? My mother is always worried about getting stuck in it when power goes out. The transformer uses 2 9-volt batteries for a "1 time use" when power goes out but it is not dependable.

The chair is running a motor, an inductive load. They really aren't meant to run that type of load, because of the quick drain much like a laser printer. I don't know of too many other economic choices. You need power when commercial power is out. I would test it before you need it and occasionally after it is installed to make sure it will work and not overload the circuit breaker. Remember the lead acid batteries last about the same as car batteries. They need to be replaced some time in the future and that may be as little as every two years.

Remove dirt and spills easily with this 5-gal. Stanley wet/dry vacuum. Its 10-foot electrical cord lets you cover wide areas without changing outlets, and the 4.0 HP motor provides strong suction for tidying up messes. The rear port on this Stanley wet/dry vacuum converts it to a power blower for leaf cleanup.
 

what accessories goes with this? specifically the head suction can i see the picture?

Mine came with a flexible tube a bit over 5 foot. Could have been longer but there are also 2 solid extensions and the AC cord is adequate length. 3 attachments: wide for floors, smaller and crevice tool for base boards or between car seats. easy storage on the vacuum itself. The main suction head is 5 gallon and 4 HP. I use it primarily around the house and some cleaning the cars. Works like it should and easier than dragging my big shop vac that usually stays in the garage. I have added a photo with the attachments. I would buy it again.

Is the CD-Rom the same as those in a laptop or is it the more substantial CD-Rom one found in most towers?

unfortunately it looks like the ones in laptops, it's mounted sideways... since people don't use DVD or CD's much these days, I would not consider it a deal breaker.

will the computer have the window 7 pro 64 option or it only in window10

Windows 10 Only, unless you go back in time and get a copy of Windows 7. Keep in mind 10 has been out well over a year now... If you simply don't like the interface, I would suggest going to ninite.com and installing Classic Start. Once installed you can right click the start button and go to settings and pick the interface look you want.

We got this new computer for our pre-k class and just want to be able to play our learning games. We are not connected to wi-fi and the computer will not let me sign in. Can you help please!!! Sara

Unfortunately you probably got sucked into setting up a Microsoft account when you first started the machine. Best practice would be to take it back to where you have internet and log in. Then go to users and change the type to local account. Then you should be able to get into it when there is no internet available.

Does this printer work with an iPad air2? Apple does not list it as an air printer.

You might be able to get around it by using the Hammer Mill app. I have gotten a number of printers to work using it. And I have had a number that didn't. App is free
