Mixed feelings

Verified Purchase:Yes
It works but I can’t tell if I’m getting the AX speed back haul between the main unit and the satellite. Things running off the satellite seem like they’re running slower than they should be at times. I’ve got about 35 different devices connected though with smart home accessories and everything is running so I can’t complain too much.

Install this Ring solar panel with your Ring security system (not included), and enjoy continuous monitoring without having to replace batteries. The compact white panel matches your system or your exterior paint to provide convenient placement that doesn't draw attention. This Ring solar panel powers your security camera setup on just a few hours of sunlight each day.

Use it to charge my outdoor Ring camera so I don’t have to constantly change the battery. Haven’t had to touch the camera since I set it up with the solar panel.

Not even close on promised speeds
on August 7, 2020
Posted by: SVbach
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this to improve internet speed to a computer in my basement. Was having issues with my wireless speed so decided to try this. Bottom line, after installing, the speed on this was lower than what I was getting through wireless originally. Might be the wiring in my house, but the house was built in 2009, so the wiring shouldn't be that bad. Ended up returning the product since it didn't meet my needs.

Better sound/microphone compared to Echo 1
on August 7, 2020
Posted by: SVbach
Verified Purchase:Yes
My original Echo was starting to get finicky about responding to voice commands so I upgraded to a Gen 3 after seeing how new Echo dots seemed to have better performance. Overall the new Gen 3 has better overall sound (for a small wireless speaker) in my opinion than the original and the listening capability of the device seems better as well. Does what I wanted it to do.

This low-profile keyboard features Logitech Incurve keys, which are so comfortable you~d think they were custom-made to fit your fingers, and a cushioned palm rest. Up to three-year battery life for both keyboard and mouse practically eliminates the need to replace batteries.

Bought card to upgrade a GTX-1060. Haven’t had a chance to game with it yet but It runs normal programs on two QHD monitors at 144Hz with no issues. I haven’t noticed any noise difference between this card and my old card.

The Linksys Velop MX10 whole-home Wi-Fi 6 system gives you more speed, coverage, and capacity than it ever has before. Wi-Fi 6 combined with Velop's Intelligent Mesh~ technology delivers true Gigabit Wi-Fi speeds, up to 5.3 Gbps, to every corner of your home, even the backyard and outdoor smart home devices. Wi-Fi 6 also sends and receives multiple streams of data simultaneously and reduces latency, providing up to 4x more capacity compared to Wi-Fi 5 technology. So, it can handle the demands of up to 50 devices and more, from laptops and gaming consoles to smart home devices and 4K TVs, all competing for the same bandwidth. You'll also always have a more efficient Wi-Fi experience with OFDMA that enables more data to and from your devices in a more streamlined manner. And, with BSS technology, congestion is also minimized eliminating interference from nearby wireless networks to deliver a strong, clear Wi-Fi signal to your home, so you won't have to worry about your neighbor's Wi-Fi interfering with yours again. You'll even have 7x more battery life with Target Wake Time that reduces network interference, allowing your devices to remain in sleep mode longer. The MX10 whole-home Wi-Fi 6 system is a part of Velop's modular system, so if you need more coverage, just add more nodes. Plus, setup is fast with the Linksys app, so you can enjoy the next evolution of Wi-Fi in minutes.

Bad LAN connections on node
on January 15, 2020
Posted by: SVbach
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this based on reviews from the web rating it as one of the best mesh AX routers. Had initial issues with setup via the app, but it worked fine after I connected to the WiFi ID it initially came with. Setup after that was easy.
After getting connected, everything seemed great and my network seemed to be running faster than my old Orbi AC3000. However, that evening, I tried playing on my PS4 which was connected to the satellite node through one of its LAN ports. While playing, I was seeing significant lag and was getting knocked off servers. That didn’t happen with my old Orbi. When I checked the PS4 network speed, I was only getting 75-90 Mbps through the node which is about 35 feet from the main hub. Same issue if I tried the PS4 connecting via WiFi instead of with a LAN cable. I have a 500Mbps cable internet plan, so that seemed really slow given the Velop MX10 was supposed to be faster.
Bottom line, I returned the system. I did pick up the new Orbi AX6000 to try. Setup was easy and after everything was connected, I am getting close to 200Mbps through the PS4 now with no lag issues or getting kicked off servers.

How many satellites do I need for this to work properly?

It’ll depend on the size of your house and what’s in between the satellites such as walls, furniture, etc. One device is supposed to cover 3000 sq ft, but your signal strength will drop the farther you get from it.

Arm your windows and doors with extra security with this Ring Alarm Contact Sensor 2-pack. The easy-to-install monitors sense when a door or window opens, sending an alert directly to your phone or PC with a compatible app. This Ring Alarm Contact Sensor 2 pack works in tandem with Ring Alarm base station (not included) to secure your home.
 

Can this be used on a sliding door?

Yes, as long as there is room to mount one of the sensors on the fixed part of the door frame and the other one on the sliding door itself. It does not matter which sensor goes on the frame and which one goes on the sliding door.

The Roomba~ i7 robot vacuum unleashes powerful cleaning when, where, and how you want with a single command to your Google Assistant or Alexa voice assistant. When messes happen, just say, ~Tell Roomba to clean under the kitchen table.~ Smart navigation maps specific objects in your home, guiding it to the mess, right when the mess happens. With 10x the suction* and automatic, personalized schedules~even recommendations during pollen and pet-shedding seasons~ its vacuuming that fits seamlessly into your life.
 

I know that it maps out your rooms, but if it runs into a dog toy or something similar, does it move around the toy and continue? Or does the unit get stuck? Similarly, if I move my coffee table, does it get confused and stop or does it adapt? Thanks!

Depends on the size of the toy or object. If the object doesn't trigger the sensor that says the robot hit something, it will more than likely push the toy until it does hit something. If the toy won't go under the edge of the robot, then it shouldn't suck it up, but that is a possibility again based on the toy size. That isn't much different than a regular vacuum though. As for moving furniture, we sometimes put our table chairs up, and sometimes leave them down, and the robot seems to adjust accordingly to the changes. You do need to be careful with cords on the floor that the vacuum might come in contact with as those can get sucked into the cleaning mechanism. If the robot gets jammed, it will stop and let you know until you clear the jam.
