I live in a 4000 sq. ft. home with no Cat 5 wiring. The basement is completely finished so I can't add wiring without tearing into drywall. I was previously running a Netgear X6 (R8000) router, wireless bridged to an Asus AC-68R, and recently added a Netgear range extender to address some dead spots in the house. Not only was the setup a bit complicated to get working, I constantly dealt with spotty wireless coverage that would come and go. I suspect the setup was partially to blame (3 different components). I decided to give this new Orbi system a shot based on the positive reviews, and I'm glad I did. Wireless coverage is more reliable throughout the house and faster to boot. It's expensive, but it works and it's fairly simple to setup. Plus it still has plenty of advanced settings available if you want to tweak your setup.

I would recommend this to a friend!

I read numerous reviews and discussion threads before purchasing a Samsung KS8000. After starting with the settings posted on rtings, and doing some slight tweaks, I am extremely happy with the picture. The majority of my viewing is with an HR44 DirecTV DVR. Football picture quality is excellent.

I'm using Circle to monitor and limit internet usage for my 11 and 8 year old kids, using 2 iPads and one iPhone. Setup was fairly straight forward following the app instructions on my Samsung Note 4. The content filters have worked pretty well also, as they are blocking what I want and haven't interfered with the kids allowed activities. My one complaint is with the bedtime limits. I wanted to use my son's iPad, and it was after his bedtime. First, I tried to remove the bedtime limit from his profile in the app, but I still kept getting the bedtime limit message on the iPad. I eventually had to remove the iPad itself from his profile to get it to work. Everything else I've done with the app has worked pretty seamlessly.

I previously had a Harmony 650 that I liked, except it would not control my Amazon Fire Stick. Replaced it with this and I'm very pleased. It was fairly easy to set up using the app on my phone, and it's working great for me. Using it to control a Panasonic TV, Sony Blu-Ray player and sound bar, DirecTv and a Wii U.

I purchased this to replace a 16GB iPad 3 and am very happy with the purchase. 16GB is almost unusable these days if you want to keep movies on your iPad, and this is much lighter, faster, and has a better feel than the iPad 3 it replaced.

What's great about it: Easy setup, very fast

This is a fast and rock solid SSD for the price. I replaced a 5400 RPM mechanical drive with this in a brand new ASUS laptop, and it boots in 1.3 seconds. Using the Samsung Magician software and RAPID Mode enabled it is super fast. Very happy with the purchase.

This Logitech Harmony 915-000194 smart control lets you use your compatible Apple® iPhone®, iPod® touch or iPad® or Android device to control up to 8 components for simple, multifunction use.

Is the included hub the "Harmony Home" hub, the predecessor to Home or something altogether different?

If you're asking about this Smart Control vs. the Harmony Home, I'm pretty sure the hubs are the same, and the only difference is that the Home has physical buttons on the remote for home automation (lights, blinds, etc.).
