The dedicated gaming port on RT-AX86U Pro automatically prioritizes any wired device connected to it. No complex configuration is needed, just connect your gaming PC or console to the special LAN port to give you a fast, stable connection that's always at the head of the queue.

Good device and easy to set up
on March 22, 2024
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been using another brand for some years now but when that one gave out I decided to try something different and I was not disappointed so far. Although I've only had this item in the loop now for a few weeks I find that there is more control and consistency with connections for all my smart devices and tablets and computers and you name it. It was easy to set up and getting into the router to change how things run was great and there are so many choices on how to use it that it made it easy to get the configuration I needed and wanted. Connecting my external hard drive was a little cumbersome but once connected it had a stable connection and works great, Overall it's working great for my needs at this time and I hope it continues to run well into the future.

Great cover to go with the tablet
on December 9, 2023
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Cover seems sturdy and fits very well on the Tab A. The cover flips up and becomes a stand with magnet holds for two angles. It looks good if you're above it slightly like when standing and it's on the table and when sitting it can be adjusted to view easily at the other angle. It is very clean looking and smooth with a slightly textured surface that makes it easier to hold on to when carrying.

Good look and good screen
on December 9, 2023
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall it isn't a bad tablet. The screen is bright and large but the programs act funny sometimes on the screen when you have it sitting on the table with the longer width horizontal. Some programs automatically rotate into portrait mode (long edge vertical) and then you have to turn the tablet to view those programs. When the tablet is vertical the camera is along the right edge and makes it very awkward to use in that direction. If you have the tablet in landscape mode then the camera is on top and much easier to use. It may just be a learning curve since I've always had the tab A 8" screen and it would always be used in the portrait mode. This one is also a bit heavier than the one it replaced but that wasn't a deal breaker. The battery seems to die faster than my previous tablets as well and it happens even when I'm not using the table and it's been closed. My older Samsung would hold a charge for days if I didn't use it much, this one is good for a little over one day only then it needs charging. It may just need some performance tweaks but I haven't found the right one yet.

Good hoses that work
on July 9, 2023
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
These are a required item to get the install done for the washer. It is also a good thing to change out since the rubber hoses or even these do deteriorate over time when in use. The last ones I had for 18 years even though it's recommended to be changed after 5 years.

Smart watch works good
on July 9, 2023
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Have been looking at these for a long time and wanted to get one. Finally got this one and it seems to be a good device. I have always hated the bands that come with them but found you can change them pretty easily and cheaply. I ordered the new band even befor getting the watch which was great. The device itself has many things I want to keep track of and it was pretty easy to set up most things such as email , notifications, etc. The one thing I was unable to set up was the ECG traking. For some reason when you go to set it up and it links to the phone it says it doesn't like the browser and I should use Chrome but it's open in Chrome. Not really a big issue it's just another fun thing to have. I haven't had a chance to set it up with LTE yet through my carrier but as long as the phone is close by I can get texts and make and answer calls so that works for me. It does have some proprietary thing that you need a Samsung phone to use and I don't have a Samsung phone so I'm out of luck there unless I can find some other way of using those items. It's nothing major anyway. Watch faces were easy to change and most are free to use which is nice, Found one with weather, steps, battery and date besides the time of course. Still pretty new and getting used to using it but it seems to be a good device.

The size I needed and works well in my laptop without any lagging. As I would suspect this is a good product from Samsung and should last very well moving forward.

Decent machine and seems to work
on July 9, 2023
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
Right now I'm going with good and I hope it stays that way throughout the life of the washer. It isn't anything special and performs as all the other models on the market. I doesn't have that old time solid feel of a washer and I'm hoping it last for at least 10 years. So far it is doing well and washes the clothes that I have put in it pretty well. It does take some getting used to at first as it isn't like the old washers that fill up and then run. This one kind of fills a little then runs then fills up more then runs and so on until it's comfortable with the amount of water it has in the tub. The controls are simple enough but even at that my older mother has trouble with how this operates, not sure if it's just still too new or she's going to have trouble moving forward, time will tell on that one. I've explained several times and I foresee explaining more times that the buttons aren't push buttons but touch enabled. The other one is to start the washer that you have to touch the on button until the countdown ends and the machine starts. Not sure why this is programmed like that but I even feel it is an annoyance. Touching start should just start the machine without that lag. Overall right now I would say it's a good machine but we've only had it for a few weeks at the time of this writing.

Needed a card reader for my new system and this one fits the bill perfectly. I plugged it in a rear port and the wire allows it to be on top of the case and not in the way. It works as it should and it isn't very big so it's not in the way.

OK modem with slight flaws
on November 9, 2022
Posted by: Robert116
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was an upgrade from an older Arris model. I had been having trouble with my network so decided after 5 years to bring in the newer technology. I got this modem and a new router. The modem is almost exactly the same size shape and works pretty much the same other than the newer DOCSIS 3.1 as opposed to the 3.0 version. It also increased my upstream and downstream channels which you would think makes it better. I really haven't seen that much of a difference as my connection still only has 300 Mbps which is fine for my needs. I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the fact that you can't access the modem from your computer any longer if you go through your router. I have everything set up the same as the only devices but now if you type in the IP for the router in a browser you get a time out. The only was to do it is to disconnect everything and use a separate line directly to the modem to view the status and other menu items. Very troublesome when you have to troubleshoot any issues.

Browse the web with this 8-inch Samsung Galaxy tablet. Its 5MP front camera and 8MP rear camera let you take selfies and family photos in low light, and the 1.4GHz quad-core processor ensures lag-free performance. Watch movies all day with the 14-hour video playback time of this versatile Samsung Galaxy tablet.
 

What software comes standard with this model? Do I have to buy Microsoft Office or other software like Outlook software and what is the added cost?

My last three Tab tablets had a light version of Microsoft software that seems to do most thing you need. It doesn't include the Outlook client but does have another e-mail client included that can be configured to your e-mail server whichever you use. Hope this helps, enjoy!

Tab A needs to fully charge and fully empty to stabilize the Lithium battery? We did not get a product manual

Lithium Ion batteries are very stable already and can function correctly for years without fully discharging them and then recharging them. In fact the "experts" say that you should never fully discharge your batteries as that's when trouble can ensue. They may not recharge again if they are drained fully. I usually set my tablet up right out of the box and then plug it in and fully charge it. Then just use it normally and recharge when you feel like it or at about 20% (not a steadfast number) whichever you're comfortable with. Hope that helps! Enjoy!

Does this fit the 2019 waterproof kindle?

When you say waterproof KIndle I'm taking that to be the Oasis. If that is the case then no it will not fit the two devices are of different shape and size.

My V6 absolute is no longer holding a charge and we are considering upgrading. Will the V6 motorized accessories work with the V10 or V8? Thanks!

Never had a V6 but did look at them in the store. All the accessories appear to be compatible with these model lines. Best bet is to take one of your attachments to the store and trying it out on the other vacuums to see it they fit.

Logitech Wireless Combo MK320. The combo that puts entertainment and portability at your fingertips. With 11 hot keys, you~ll enjoy instant access to the things you do most. Low-profile, whisper-quiet keyboard helps make typing and surfing easy. And the mouse stores the tiny Logitech receiver, so you can take your mouse wherever you go.
 

I already have logitech wireless mouse with unifying receiver. Will this work with the same unifying receiver? I do not want to plug two USB receivers in my machine.

You just have to be sure that the USB Unified symbol is on all your devices then they all work with one dongle! I had an older model that didn't have the unifying symbol and that one didn't work with the Trackball so I had to get another keyboard that had the symbol and all is well. I have a mouse and a trackball at work going through one Unified dongle and they work great as well.

Provide reliable backup power to your Mavic drone with this DJI Intelligent Flight battery. It's packed with 3830 mAh/11.4V of power, and it's rechargeable with the Mavic battery charger or charging hub. The built-in sensors and LED indicators let you know the power status of this DJI Intelligent Flight battery.
 

How long does a charge last?

There are many variables that would dictate the length of time the battery lasts. Speed, distance, wind velocity and maybe a few others.I have been getting about the stated time for endurance, about 26 minutes in a 5-10 knot wind and close to the controller. It's just not something that you can give a solid time on.

Does the battery come charged?

Battery has an intelligent circuit that drains it after ten days of not being used. The one battery I got with the aircraft had no charge the second battery I got had about 3/4 of a full charge. It would depend on length of time it's been in transit.

Satisfy bandwidth-hungry gaming and streaming demands with this Linksys Max-Stream Wi-Fi router. Its next-generation multiuser MIMO technology works four times faster than conventional routers, letting multiple users enjoy low-latency VR gaming and glitch-free 4K simulcasting. This tri-band Linksys Max-Stream Wi-Fi router provides wired network sharing with its four Gigabit Ethernet ports and a USB 3.0 connector.
 

Is this modem compatible with Cox services?

The Linksys - Max-Stream™ AC2200 Tri-Band Wi-Fi Router - Black is not a modem so your question doesn't make sense. This device goes downstream of your modem thus is compatible with all modems. There are some other variables but nothing a home user would find that would prevent the use as a in home network hub.

Does this modem work on Frontier 50/50bpms internet? Is it better than the Frontier provided modem?

This is not a modem, it is a stand alone router. It has no internet function until a modem is hooked to this device to route your signal to your peripheral devices by wire or wireless.
