Been wanting to do a mesh system, so bought two of these to give it a go.
March 26, 20187 yr Actually, it looks like Asus may have blacklisted this device per some comments on slick deals Quote Beware that Asus has blacklisted the converted TM-AC1900s with the latest AiMesh firmware released today. So this Amazon seller is just dumping remaining inventory for an orphaned product. Merlin f/w will probably follow-suit.When the current AiMesh (version 3.0.0.4.384.20624) is installed on one of these, it re-flashes the CFE and shuts-off AiMesh. Read Less
March 26, 20187 yr I bought an ASUS router on a black Friday deal on Amazon. I received it but never opened it because it wasn't exactly what I wanted. It was NIB and never opened. I tried to return it to Amazon and they said to keep it, donate it, or throw it away. I have no idea what that was all about.

March 27, 20187 yr I looked at that router a while back. I wanted my main router to hard-wire into my AV components, so having the ethernet ports was fairly important compared to something like Google Wi-fi. The weird thing about the Asus router is the ethernet ports are on the bottom of it. Not sure how that is supposed to work out.

March 27, 20187 yr yeah i don't have any issues with routers/aps that have ports on the bottom. i don't understand the problem anyway...just plug your lan port into a switch.

Wouldn't that mean the ports face directly down into the shelf? Maybe I'm just not visualizing it correctly. I ended up going with a Linksys AC1750 that has ports coming out of the back when it is laying flat.

Maybe I'm just not visualizing it correctly. I ended up going with a Linksys AC1750 that has ports coming out of the back when it is laying flat. Why would you want to lay it down flat? It has 3 antennas that are meant to stick up in the air. Laying pretty much any router flat reduces the interior/exterior antenna range. But if you really need a "flat" router, this isn't the one for you. Edited March 27, 20187 yr by rage-a-holic
March 27, 20187 yr It fits the space better when it lays flat. The antennas rotate so they are still sticking up in the air on the Linksys router I bought, even with the router itself laying flat.
March 27, 20187 yr I bought one of those same refurbished routers a little over a year ago planning to do all the cool flashing and make it great - plugged it in, 45 seconds later heard a nice sizzle, and let out the magic smoke. The refurb quality may not be the greatest. That said, for $50, it's worth trying your luck. Sam
March 28, 20187 yr Author Walmart has the Ozark Trail 20 Can Leaktight Cooler on sale for $24. Select free store pickup, otherwise shipping is free on orders $35 or more.

There are also a bunch of Star Wars goods marked down to celebrate May the Fourth, and this code will work on them as well.

April 2, 20205 yr So, when do retailers start offering up huge discounts? Ain't nobody buying shit these days except for what Amazon, Walmart, and HEB sell. I was a broke law student when the last big recession started and didn't have any money to spend anyways, so is that a thing that happens when the economy hits the skids? Edited April 2, 20205 yr by Storm the Field
April 2, 20205 yr I’ve wondered the same thing. 30% off at Brooks Brothers doesn’t get me very excited.
April 2, 20205 yr Anyone know of a good iPhone deal. Need to get the kid one. Will also be switching 3 lines to a new service (currently Goole fi)

April 2, 20205 yr So we planned to replace an SUV next year at this time but figured we should look around and see who was desperate. They aren’t nearly as desperate as I anticipated. Will check back in a month or two.

For now the ancient BMW gets me to work.

They can ride the ship all the way down.

I'm done adding lines, so I don't get the best phone deals, but my wife's new iPhone was a decent deal.

The 0% is a good start but they need to start lowering prices before I'll get ready to do anything.

Will also be switching 3 lines to a new service (currently Goole fi) best deals on new phones are to be had when switching carriers. carriers will pay to "acquire" customers. but they hide $10-20/month "access" fees to help recoup the cost of almost giving away the phone. still a good deal if you want the latest and greatest. if not, buy pre-owned from swappa or amazon/ebay. many shops which sell pre-owned phones acquire (buy) those phones from carriers from people trading in their old phones for new phones. it's hit or miss but mostly good deals to be had. swappa is great for buying from people and smaller shops. i've purchased 6 or 7 phones from swappa and all were great.
April 3, 20205 yr I've seen 84 months (yikes) at 0 interest, but I too would expect deals on the price.Factories are shut, so maybe they are tryin to hold the line on inventory?
April 3, 20205 yr Exactly. The 0% is a good start but they need to start lowering prices before I'll get ready to do anything.This. 84 month finance terms on a vehicle is not a great deal.
