Cool Gadget with Limited Features
on June 17, 2018
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Setup of the Google Clips is quick and easy. It is required to download an app "Google Clips" to setup this device. After following instructions, google clips connected successfully with the phone. Please make sure to charge before using it. It will take atleast 2 hours for full charge.
Google clips automatically detects family and pets to take motion picutures. The battery will last close to 3 hours for continuous use. It has 16 Gb of internal memory and you can easily transfer the images from clips to phone. Also, it will allow you to delete images with single swipe. It comes with a clip to place it tables. Also, it came with protective case. The camera will auto correct itself if it placed upside down.
The photos are very clear in bright areas. However, it is not performing well with low light conditions. It auto detects family members and capture the pictures while smiling, celebrating or moving. Google clips is a good start. However, it should have more features. Now a days everyone using phones to take pictures and latest phones are coming with dual cameras, 4K videos etc and many other features like DSLR cameras. For the price, google clips has limited features. I don't see any value to use this device when i have super power iPhone in my hand. It is not going to satisfy all user needs.

Setup is very simple for SONY SP600N headset after downloading SONY Headphones app either from Android or iOS. I was able to pair my iPhone with headset after following instructions. This headset is really a good fit for people who do exercise.
The sound quality is great as you expect from SONY headsets. The vocals are crisp and clear and well balanced. It has noise cancellation mode and ambient sound mode. The battery quality is good as well and it last around 6 hours. It has IPX4 rating for water or sweat resistant and it is not waterproof.
It fits perfectly on ears and there is no discomfort even if you use for a long time. The SONY connect app has lot of great features to view battery life, preset equalizers adjustment, noise cancellation and ambient sound. It is really lightweight headset with Bluetooth 4.1, great battery life, solid design and excellent fit on ears.
SONY SP600N is exceeded my expectations and it is a good product with reasonable price.

Great Karaoke Speaker. Amazing Sound!!!

Setup is quick and easy for LG - Dual 5-1/4" Powered Wireless 2-Way Speaker. It came with LG FJ5 Speaker, Power Cable, manual, Remote and batteries. I was able to connect my iPhone using Bluetooth. I was amazed with sound quality from this speaker and it is very clear and filled the entire room.
There are lot of controls on the top to adjust speaker volume, mic volume, karaoke specific features, audio enhancement modes. The remote is very handy to do the same settings away from the speaker. This is not battery powered speaker and must be connected with an outlet.
This speaker is really good for karaoke. There is a microphone port (1/4" inch) to connect a mic for karaoke. There is an option to suppress vocals during the song for karaoke. This speaker can be used vertical and horizontal and it will change automatically to mono (vertical mode) to stereo (horizontal mode). Another cool feature is multicolor LED lights. There are lot of options to change the LED colors based on mode.
The sound quality is great from this speaker and it is perfect add on for karaoke setup.

Posted by: Selva

Turtle Beach Mic is an excellent option for PC and gaming consoles. I was able to assemble less than 5 mins with the insturctions given the box. The look and feel is good and it is heavy to stand on table without falling down. I have connected this to my gaming PC and it recognized immediately. I have tested with voice recorder and recording quality is crisp and clear.
This mic is very handy for skype meetings, video chats etc. It has universal plug and play compatibility for all type of devices. It is perfect fit for recording livestream commentary, vocals, podcasts, voiceovers and interviews. It comes with multiple mounting options and it can be adjusted to fit user needs. It's studio-grade digital processing balances EQ, gain and compression to deliver superior voice performance so anyone can stream like a pro.
I would definitely recommend Turtle Beach mic to anyone who are looking for a mic for recording, chats, live streaming etc.

Great Antenna for HD Local channels
on April 18, 2018
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
MOHU Sail 75 setup is quick and easy. I was able to assemble and installed within 30 mins. I have used few antennas in the past to cut the cord and none of them really worked. The quality is outstanding compare to previous ones. I was able to get more than 30 HD changes and many SD channels. The reception is great after installing into my attic. MOHU Sail delivers excellent 1080 HD channels.
The antenna is slightly larger but it is very lightweight and i don't have any issues installing in attic as i had lot of space in attic. It is good to see an amplified antenna powered by USB. It comes with 30 feet cable and powered amplifier. It is very powerful antenna and reception is great to provide crystal clear picture.
I would recommend to anyone who are looking to get local HD channels without going through cable companies. It is definitively a good start for cutting cable cost.

Outstanding Alienware Gaming PC!!!
on April 13, 2018
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Alienware Aurora R7 is an excellent gaming PC came with 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-8700 6 core processor with twelve-way processing performance and coupled with 16GB DDR4 RAM, 2 TB 7200 RPM HDD with Intel Optane Memory. Intel Optane works perfectly to boost performance forexisting hard drive. However, i will be adding SSD soon on this amazing PC to boost more performance.
The case is very slick and i love the color changing LED panel and it is treat to watch. Inside there is plenty of room for additional drives and RAM. One really nice feature is that the 16GB of memory came in two DIMM's, leaving another two memory slots free if you'd like to expand the memory to 32GB.
GTX 1080 is amazing graphics card with 8GB GDDR5. It comes with three DisplayPort ports and one HDMI port. I was able to use my ASUS 32" 4K monitor to pair up with the PC, I must admit that the graphics are simply superb. It handles all type of games without any issues.
It has 7 SuperSpeed 10Gbs USB 3.1 ports with ultra-fast data connections to transfer large files rapidly and 6 USB 2.0 ports for quick plug-and-play connectivity for your devices and accessories. Killer Wireless-AC 1535 wireless LAN connects to both wireless frequencies (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) for the fastest available signal. Killer Game Networking LAN also lets you plug into wired 10/100/1000 networks.
Bluetooth 4.1 interface syncs with compatible devices Wirelessly transfer photos, music and other media between the desktop and your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone or MP3 player, or connect Bluetooth wireless accessories.
This PC outperformed my existing gaming PC with GTX 1070 and i must admit that this PC exceeded expectations with processer and graphics performance at least 40% margin without SSD.
I am using this as HTPC also connected with Epson 5030UB projector with Plex Media Server, Kodi and CyberLink Power DVD setup. Due to high end graphics card, the picture quality is really crystal clear on big screen for Blu-ray Discs and 4K videos. It runs very silent
On the complaints side, the included mouse and keyboard are extremely cheap, and i have replaced it with my existing gaming keyboard. If you can replace the keyboard and mouse with your own, this PC is a really good for gaming or HTPC. It comes with DVD drive and with this price they should have included
All-in-all, this a great pre-configured gaming PC at a great price with outstading performance.

Epson - Pro EX7260 720p 3LCD Projector is a great multi use projector with reasonable price. The box came with projector, VGA cable, carrying case, power and USB cables, remote, batteries, and the user manual and Quick set up.
Setup is very quick and easy. I have connected to home theater receiver using HDMI cable. Mobile devices can be connected via MHL or wirelessly with the built in wireless. The cool feature is to mirror device. Just scan QR code and the Epson does the rest via iProjection app. It has only one HDMI port and other ports are S-video, USB, Wireless, RCA red and white, RCA yellow, and VGA.
It has ±30° keystone correction to get distortion-free images. With 3600 lumens bulb, the colors are bright and vibrant. It can project up to 320" with 1.3 - 1.56:1 throw ratio range.
Horizontal and vertical image correction is available to make the necessary horizontal image adjustments and vertical adjustments are done automatically. The life of lamp up to 10,000 hours of in ECO mode and up to 6,000 hours of lamp life in normal mode for extended use.
The picture quality, color and brightness is amazing from 720p projector. I am using this projector to display PowerPoint, word documents and trainings. It is very lightweight and easy to carry. Since i have connected using HDMI through receiver, i was able to get the sound from speakers.
Epson always make exceptional office / home projectors with bright images and great color. Overall, this projector is excellent choice for office environments.

Outstanding Bluetooth Speaker!!!
on March 27, 2018
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Sony - SRS-XB41 Portable Bluetooth Speaker packaging is excellent. It came with speaker and charging cable. The design is very unique and well built. Setup is quick and easy. I was able to connect using Bluetooth and NFC options without any issues. It has full size USB port along with audio port. I was amazed with sound quality and clarity after playing a song from my iPhone. The color changing LED lights are really cool while playing songs. The bass is really good as well from this speaker.
Battery life is really solid and came around 24 hours. It took around 5 hours to charge fully. I was playing a song with full sound and fill the entire living room with great sound quality. The ability to connect more than 100 speakers is a great feature and it will help to place speakers in each room. I already own SONY SRS-XB31 and able to pair with SRS-XB41.
The quality is much better and wide in SRS-XB41 compare to SRS-XB31 due to increased size. Live Sound is an amazing feature to get 3D sound experience.
I have installed the SONY Music control and it has tons of features to control music. The call quality is great with this Bluetooth speaker. SONY built a very solid Bluetooth speaker with better sound quality with bass. The price is reasonable as well. My kids are using this speaker very regularly due to the color lights and party mode.
SONY always make better products in TVs, Cameras and they have entered in audio space with quality products like SRS Series Bluetooth speakers.
Well done SONY!

Not worth for the price
By Jacobs from CA
I bought this router to replace my perfectly working Asus RT-66R model. I wanted to change my router just to get bit more range in my new 2200sqft home. Prior to getting this router I have tried one of the best range extender Ampedwireless AE-20. It’s range was excellent, but connection was very much degraded and struggled to get connected at times though it was set up to clone settings from original router.
So, after reading few positive reviews on BBY and mixed reviews on amazon, I decided to give new Nighthawk R8000 a try. I am happy with its slightly improved range than Asus and very much disappointed with its 2.4Ghz performance. I have more than 15 years of network experience and I really don’t bother tech support unless until it is really out of my hand and hardware specific.
Here I am trying to do a fair comparison with two routers I have (Asus & Netgear) + sign means “better” and – signs means “poor”
Wired Connection:
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
- R8000 has fair wired connection with slight consistency issues.
Wireless 5.0 Ghz:
+ RT-66R has excellent consistent connection
+ R8000 has excellent consistent connection as well at full speed by ISP
Wireless 5.0 Ghz Second Connection:
- RT-66R Not applicable (does not come with this feature)
+ R8000 excellent connection with full speed by ISP’s
Wireless 2.4 Ghz:
+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
- R8000 is a complete failure in terms of 2.4Gh network
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
At this point I called customer service and it sounded like they kind of aware of the issue. With minimal trouble shooting and changing the channels to their recommended channels (01, 06, 09 & 11), there was no improvement. So they asked me to degrade from 600Mpbs to 289Mbps and it started working.
So technically now their claim of 3200Mbps became 2911Mbps.
Access Control:
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
- R8000 access control only let you allow or deny connecting a particular device. You cannot decide what time it should be able to connect. – Major drawback for me.
Parental Control:
- RT-66R has poor parental control settings, but with an option to point DNS to OpenDNS we can achieve better parental control settings with their FREE offerings.
+R8000 – also use OpenDNS but with dedicated service assigned to netgear so that you can add bypass account also which can’t be done with OpenDNS free account. This is the only additional benefit I found with this router so far compared to RT-66R.
VPN:
+ RT-66R is also able to use OpenVPN with mobile access with their free App. I was abe to access local network using iOS and Android devices with no issues.
-R8000 – did not bother to check as soon as I read that it does not support mobile devices using same OpenVPN platform.
LED Control:
- RT-66R – Not applicable (missing feature)
+R8000 – very useful feature if you have your router in bedroom or other place you don’t like lot of flashing lights. Can be accessed via web GUI and with a dedicated hard button at the rear of the router.
USB Storage and Cloud access:
+RT-66R allow you to create a personal cloud with your router with AiCloud application. I am able to enjoy my music and movies over AiCloud on the move.
- R8000 – could not find any documentation about cloud access. Only information I found is about ReadyCloud and it is dedicated to Netgear NAS only. Another major setback for an expensive router.
Web GUI:
Though Netgear has a simple interface and easy to follow GUI, it lack modern look and feeling. I like Asus GUI better.
Customer service:
+ Asus- Never had to call them. No subscription fee, 24/7 free support (as far as you are within product warranty).
- Netgear – Though I received prompt customer service when I called, it was shocking to learn that the phone support is only available for 90 days of purchase, then you have to pay PREMIUM subscription to get phone support.
CONCLUSION:
I have thoroughly tested all important feature that I need. Rest of the features are generic to me and I am not bothered much about them.
I am sure this router with Dual 5.0Ghz network will be very useful for those who have new wireless devices. For me I have a lot of devices that depends on 2.4Ghz frequency such as smoke detectors, thermostat, laptop that connects to NAS for backup etc. and degraded and unreliable 2.4Ghz network make it absolutely worthless considering the amount I spent on this router.
I am seriously thinking to take this back to the store. I don’t see any point in spending almost double amount of money to get a couple of benefits and a lot of drawbacks and pay for a premium to get their phone support if needed to an overpriced product.
I would not recommend this router at its current price and it is unable to meet its original claims and comes with a premium phone support after 90 days.
Contact Netgear Support
September 1, 2014
Hi Jacobs,
Please reach out to Netgear Support. I had similar issue in my home (2800 square feet) during the setup and Support asked me to change settings in Router page and now i am getting superior coverage in 2.4 and 5 Ghz for all 17 connected devices.

Outstanding 2-in-One Tablet‎ from Samsung
By Selva from Chander AZ
There are not much Android tablets with premium specs in the market compare to Apple iPad, but Samsung is not ready to give up the fight with the release of high-end Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 with significantly updated specs, HDR screen and improved S Pen support. It is equally positioned with iPad Pro.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 screen has a 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display with support of HDR content and it matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution. Samsung Tab S3's screen size and resolution have not changed with pixel density of 264 pixels per inch. It has Super AMOLED display, for brighter, richer colors. The main upgrade over the Tab S2 is HDR content support. There is not a huge amount of HDR content yet, but once there is this it will be really helpful with Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. Another big change for this model is that there's no 8.0-inch option, Tab S3 only coming in a 9.7-inch size.
Tab S3 has metal and glass build with similar size to Tab S2. Samsung upgraded the design for the Galaxy Tab S3, replacing the soft plastic back of the Tab S2 with a glass one, but retaining the metal frame. The overall appearance like an oversized Samsung Galaxy S7.
While cameras are never the highlight of a tablet, Samsung Tab S3 came with 13MP back side camera and 5MP front facing camera with LED flash. It does include an autofocus and can record 4K video at 30fps.Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 came with 6,000mAh one and it can last up to 12 hours of video playback. I have used more than 10 hours without any issues. It supports fast charging via USB Type-C, so you shouldn't be waiting too long.
Tab S3 runs the latest major version of Android 7.0 overlaid with Samsung's own interface. It came with quad-core Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 only comes in one size - 32GB, but it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 256GB if you need more storage for apps and games.
Beyond the core specifications, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is packed full of features, including support for Samsung's S Pen stylus. This is the latest and greatest version of the stylus, with a smaller 0.7mm tip and increased pressure sensitivity. It also works with S Pen features like Screen Off Memo, which lets you take down notes without turning the screen on or launching an app. The Tab S3 also supports keyboards using a pogo connection, so all that along with the screen specification make this remarkably similar to the iPad Pro 9.7.
It has 4 stereo speakers tuned by AKG promises distortion free sounds. It came with fingerprint scanner and it supports Samsung Flow, which can sync notifications between your tablet and Galaxy handset.
I have listed the key specifications below
• 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash
• 6,000mAh battery with fast charging
• Supposedly lasts through 12 hours of video on one charge
• Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM
• Android 7.0 out of the box
• Just 32GB of storage, but microSD support of 256GB
• Supports S Pen stylus and keyboards

I currently have the Netgear NightHawk router. Will this be better than that, and should I get rid of that one?

Can you use with comcast.

Yes. It will work with any ISPs. You just need to connect router with your modem and during setup it will identify the satellite as well.
