With a name like “Stinky Stopper,” this has to be Shark Tank material…

@platypus said in Best Nationally Available High APY Liquid Accounts:

Now I don’t know what’s going on. I just got an email from Popular Direct saying my account would be funded as soon as I verified the trial deposits. I have already set up an account with Investors earning 1.9%. Gawd, why is this so hard???

If you’re not going with Popular, I would recommend a Northpoint Savings account paying 2.05%.

Need at least $25K to fund the account. Rate is good for balances up to $1,000,100. Does that mean that if I earn interest on $1,000,100 that I hit the next tier and my rate actually goes down?

@mom2jel said in I need a Router - how do I choose one?:

I upgraded my DSL to 100Mbps and had to get a new modem/router thru CenturyLink (needed bonding capability). The wifi sucks.
I am so confuzzled by routers
I know I want g/n/ac and have a “large” home (3,000sf including basement).
I have young adult males (two that stream); don’t need want it for gaming.
Want 2.4 & 5.0GHz
Don’t want to spend $$$ (would prefer $50’ish range if that’s possible).
Our desktop PC’s have Netgear AC1200 wifi adapters.

Will the Netgear AC1200 (#R6230) suffice?

$50-is is PROBABLY not going to cut it. Without knowing the layout and composition of your home, it’s hard to advise. Netgear AC1200 gets good reviews, but people don’t often discuss the size of their home or what their walls are made out of or how many walls/floors the signal needs to traverse. If you have lots of walls, you are going to need a stronger router.

What about buying a router from Amazon or someplace where you can return it if you don’t like the performance? That way, you can try it out and if it works, you keep it, and, if not, send it back and try again? Anyone that makes a specific product recommendation without knowing your home layout and what the walls are made out of and what’s inside the walls is just guessing.
