 My Thoughts

 Even though I'm a blogger, I consider myself to be somewhat technologically challenged.  I've never been very good about getting my computer up and running on my own. But there is one thing I do know and that's that I need my system to move as quickly as possible because I already spend too much time online. When my husband bought his laptop and we had to install a wireless router, I noticed that my computer slowed down pretty drastically. As the kids got older and started with the iPods, tablets, and other gadgets, it got even worse. Over time, I learned to live with it, but always hoped for something better. Finally, thanks to the D-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Router, I found the perfect solution.

As soon as our D-Link arrived, I had my husband hook it up right away. It didn't take long. In just a few simple steps, the software was downloaded and it was ready to run. When you open in the directions on your web browser, it walks you through step by step. It took us only a few minutes to complete the whole process, and neither of us are that tech savvy. I noticed a difference right away. My internet moved much faster, even when my husband had his laptop on. In fact, we can have four or five wireless devices running at any given time without any lagging. Even streaming pictures and videos is no problem.

The device itself is compact so it doesn't take up much room on my desk, yet it's still powerful and secure. I love the sleek design. The one I received is red, and it adds a splash of color to my office space. I also love that it's an affordable option. My last router cost over $100 and this one was less than $80 and works twice as well. This is a great unit for a home office and would also be perfect for college students who may not have much room in campus dorm or apartments.
