8.0" Samsung Galaxy Tab A - 16GB Smoky Titanium

Nice product! As others said, it is indeed easy to setup and configure as there are detailed instructions. It boosted the signal pretty good both for a PC and mobile phone. I took one star off as there is no information about the manufacturer or the website where a firmware upgrade file can be downloaded. The manual says download "from our website", but none is provided, that's odd! When I searched by the device name, "WF8500", I found only a closely related (by item name) Samsung washing machine and Epson printer in top results... When I attempted to go to slopehill.com (the Amazon seller "slopehill"), this web address was not valid (actually listed for sale), so it must be not the manufacturer name. No clue from the item itself, its box, enclosed instructions or description on its Amazon web page. Fortunately, a firmware upgrade is optional step, and the WiFi signal was boosted already. There was a couple of other minor issues. 1) The Installation Guide says that before starting, check if there's anything missing in the package, and contact your dealer of purchase to claim for missing items: 1xWiteless-N Repeater, 1x RJ-45 Networking Cable, 1x Quick Installation Guide. RJ-45 cable was not included, but I don't see on the Amazon product description page. This option (using a a cable) is optional, and you can configure a new network wirelessly, or use your own RJ-45 cable, but the Guide seems outdated as is. Ok, the repeater is cheap already, fair enough :-) 2) There is a "USB charging interface" on the Repeater from both the Amazon product page and Installation Guide, but it's function is not described. I presume it is not required for charging the device, but possibly provides an option to connect to a USB port to power this Repeater if there is no AC outlet? 3) The Amazon product description listed 2 other features - "Guest Mode" and "Fast Charge", but these are not addressed in the Quick Installation Guide (and no website address as I mentioned above).Within our apartment we lose signal in one of the back bedrooms which just happens to be the master bedroom. This obviously creates issues if we want to watch YouTube while laying in bed which is why I wanted to get a Wifi extender to see if we could boost the signal. Upon plugging the booster in and running a speed test we saw great improvements in both upload and download speeds in that room. Purchased this wifi extender to help get a stronger connection for our skybell wireless doorbell. We were getting laggy videos and slow alerts when we had a recorded video. My husband purchased this wifi repeater to hopefully get the skybell functioning at at least 85-90% for better videos and faster alerts. My husband was able to set up the repeater as an extender very easily. The instructions are easy to follow and within 30 minutes we had it completely set up and plugged into the outlet nearest the skybell, we are now getting 92%. We tested the videos and alerts and all are working as the should. Before getting this extender we were thinking of returning the skybell. This extender was what we needed to complete the doorbell upgrade at a great price. I recommend this repeater to anyone needing an extender or access point to add to their existing wireless network. You won't be disappointed.

Other reviews of this tablet are pretty accurate actually, but you have to put it in perspective. Here's my take on this tablet.1) No, the screen isn't as bright as a Surface RT. I've had a surface RT and the screen was astonishingly bright. The Tab A 8.0 screen is merely adequately bright and I have no complaints. Turn off Auto Brightness.2) No, it isn't a blazingly fast processor on paper, merely a quad core. It has, however, done everything I need to do with no lag or hesitation. It is faster than a 10" Tab 4 I used to have.3) No, it doesn't have a real loud speaker. I have loud speakers on my desk and also headphones. No complaints.4) no it only has 1.5 GB of ram. Have not had any issues though.5) No it doesn't have a 10 inch screen. This is a 8" tablet, that would be impossible. I've had no issues with the screen resolution. It looks bright and vibrant and is not pixelly at all. Looks very good actually.6) No, it isn't an iPad. This is by Samsung, not Apple. And it's a fraction of the price.7) No it isn't extremely light. In fact, it's much heavier than my phone. Because it's bigger than my phone. That's the point.This tablet was obtained for only one sixty five and I have loaded it up with everything I can think of and I successfully used it on an IT service call as a laptop replacement. I also got a fintie keyboard case for it and a smays ethernet adapter/usb hub. This tablet literally does everything I need my laptop to do. VPNs, remote desktop, keyboard, mouse, ethernet, network scanning, you name it.I also use it for surfing the web and some games. I have put in a SD card. I can attach flash drives and external HD. It supports OTG. It updated itself to android 6.0.1 immediately on powerup out of the box.Now, full disclosure, I was looking at a 10.1 with the Pen but someone decided that being in a wish list meant I was willing to suddenly pay a hundred more for it.I would buy the Tab A 8.0 again and heartily recommend it as an excellent android tablet.

Great product the Galaxy Tab A 8.0" for my 6 year old daughter. It has 16 GB that is enought to have more than 50 programs at the same time on the tablet. Nice sound and very good 8" screem. Price less than $160. Good battery. It may be better Galaxy Tab with the 32 GB, but they are too expensive for the use my daughter will do for $450.We previously bought her a cheaper, very bad qualitty unit for about $100 that was used only for a few days because of the bad quality of screen, battery and very limited memory size of 8 GB.Update: march 2018There's a new version Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8" (2017) even better than the old one. It has 64 GB, 2GB Ram. I bought it for $195.

The media could not be loaded. Fantastic stuff Works just as it should. The screen size is ideal—neither it's too large nor too small. The battery lasts for life and is quite light to hold in your palm. A tablet with a good screen brightness and sufficient functionality. It's not a high-end tablet, but it works. Although the tablet's camera is not great, who really buys a tablet to snap pictures? Excellent tablet overall.

I have been a fellow Android lover since the beginning and here is another reason why. I'm an avid reader and lover of tablets ever since the first Nook from Barnes & Noble came out like 8 years ago.... I have had the Nook, Nook HD and finally the Amazon Kindle Fire HD (never get that!) This is BY FAR the best out of all of those, the clarity of HD, all the features are just like the Samsung Galaxy cellphones and the WiFi connectivity is quick, downloading books or apps is easy and fast and watching Netflix or Amazon Videos are clear and its just been a breeze. Now I mainly use my tablet for reading, downloading books, watching Netflix and quick surfing of the web so if that is mainly what you want a tablet for then this is Gold.
