Wavlink AC600 High Power Outdoor Wireless WIFI Router/AP Repeater, 2.4GHz 150Mbps + 5GHz 433Mbps Outer Detachable Antenna outdoor Wireless Repeater Dual Band AC600 outside Repeater Router POE

Pros: - Great range on both g and ac, with g reaching out to 175+ feet before signal starts to degrade, even with a few obstacles. - Mounts easily. - Hard durable looking plastic design with rubber seals that lock moisture and dirt out. - Nice web access UI. - Friendly representatives.

Cons: - Came with outdated "bad" firmware.

Overall Review: - Would recommend IF you don't mind going through the hassle of updating its firmware first. - Before buying I read other reviews and was somewhat concerned. The problem I saw was that it periodically disconnected which required a power cycle to fix. This was solved in a firmware update that a representative directly sent to me via E-mail since their website was under construction. (WN570HA1-A-RPTA1.M4300.01.GD.2016Nov1-WEBC) was the file name if that helps anyone find it on their site. I installed the firmware before I deployed it and it has worked flawlessly. - The Wavlink is connected at our barn as an AP, so we don't use the wireless repeating function. (Thanks to a point-to-point wireless bridge.) - Wi-Fi speeds are faster in our barn than at our house "currently" and exceed our max DSL speed of 10mbs. - Would be 5 out of 5 stars but since it doesn't "work out of the box" -1 star.

RAM was good, WD Black 2T was bad.

Pros: -RAM works as described. -XMP Profile worked, I7-7700K.

Cons: -Configurator with the WD Black 2T drive was bad. This line of drives seems to be plagued by a "dieing cow" spin down noise that WD doesn't seem to want to talk about. They just recommend you to send it in for a replacement drive that makes the same noise according to the WD community.

Overall Review: -I would recommend the RAM as it has done well so far. -I would recommend a different model of WD Black drive or another brand altogether while WD gets these weird sounding drives worked out. +4 Eggs for awesome RAM and Newegg customer support, -1 Egg for the wonky drive packaged with the RAM.
