Fast - Efficient - Easy setup

This replaced my many years old, but still working fine, Netgear Nighthawk R7000. Giving the RS700 the same SSID the transfer was transparent and all my devices connected up just fine. I have Gigabit service via Xfinity and there were also zero issues with that part of the setup. I have had the router a week or so now and everything is running very well. No problems. Zero complaints. A good buy and I would do it all over again.

Nice keyboard - Battery life not so much
on April 11, 2024
Posted by: JimVan
This is a great keyboard with a very nice feel to it! I would definitely buy it again BUT the downside is the battery life is terrible. I have it plugged in to charge probably 70% of the time. It might be okay if you never use the backlighting but that is one of the major features.

It's a SandDisk!

Verified Purchase:Yes
What can I say? I have been using SandDisk flash drives and cards for my cameras for many years and they have never failed me yet! I have some Compact Flash cards that are well over 10 years old and still rocking it. This flash drive is fast and as easy to use as it can get. Highly recommended.

Many have been extremely critical of using Brie Larson for this movie. I am not a Marvel purist so I don't care. I think she did a great job and fit the party for the storyline. It was well done and the audio and video are excellent!

Good video - Slow wifi and app response

Video quality is excellent. However the wifi and app response is very slow. They do the job but without any fanfare. I don't regret the purchase but would not buy again.

Get it. You won't regret it.

Wow! What an incredible restoration! The story of the amazing task of the restoration is in the inside sleeve notes. It's 4K but still retains that "old movie" look with appropriate graininess, yes incredible picture quality. A must buy! Do not hesitate. The audio has been expanded and is well done.

Though a huge improvement over DVD it could be better. That said, we absolutely enjoy this 4K version of what has become a cult-classic. We have owned this movie is various formats since it's release including a SuperBit DVD that was our absolute best quality DVD. Even though it's not perfect, what is right? I still highly recommend this.

Give color to your house with this 4" recessed retrofit downlight, which offers 16 million colors and warm-to-cool white light. Simply set the mood with Bluetooth-enabled LED bulbs using the Hue Bluetooth app, which allows you to manage up to 10 lights in a room. Philips Hue's preset light scenes assist you in choosing the right light to annex your spirit or activities throughout the day.
Manage and automate interior lighting easily with this Belkin Wemo smart light switch. The physical switch allows you to turn lights on and off by hand, while an included app sets schedules to brighten spaces while away. This Belkin Wemo smart light switch functions alongside others for complex automation arrangements.
I assume the switch can be turned on/off manually as well. But when you’re away from the switch and want to turn on remotely, does the switch have to be in the on position? Or does the remote signal (WiFi) connect to power when it calls for it?
Yes, it has a manual, lighted button to turn it on and off, like all Wemo products. When using the app, or auto controls, it doesn't matter whether you have turned it on or off manually. The app and/or the automatic settings will then take over. And you can override those with the manual button anytime you want. This switch gives the use maximum flexibility.
