WoW!!! What A Difference!!!

First let me start by telling you my old hookup. I had an Airport Extreme AC Router (upstairs) along with an Airport Express (living room TV Connection). All of them running a Sony 75” 4k TV, Ooma Telo Voip phone, Xbox 1s hard wired to the router. Sony 55” 4k TV hardwired to the Express in the living room, 2 Bluray players, chrome cast, Roku, 3 smart 1080p tv’s, one laptop and two PC’s, and 3 cell phones all running on WIFI. Soon to have another Xbox when Project Scorpio finally arrives and will either be purchasing the PS4 Pro or the PS5 in the near future as well.
I’ve done a lot of research on Mesh WIFI systems and this one (ORBI) came up on top. So I pulled the trigger and got the AC3000 Double Pack and One additional Orbi Satellite from Best Buy.
Apple is discontinuing their routers so I purchased and setup the Orbi WIFI. Very easy instructions, very self explanatory. I got everything setup in less than a half an hour.
You can do practically everything that any other router can do with this system. I even opened the ports for my Xbox One so it can have an Open NAT as to not give me any problems playing any multiplayer games. This Orbi setup is utterly incredible! My Hardwired and WIFI internet speeds practically Tripled. I was amazed and so was my wife.
One of the best priciest purchases I’ve ever made LoL. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. This thing covered my whole house, outside of my home and one of the satellites is working full force in my basement/garage (Concrete slab). Do what I did and pull the trigger and get this if you’re having WIFI/Internet problems in your home.
I have a 2500sqft home and I know that I probably didn’t need the triple pack, the double would've sufficed but if you’re gonna go all out on a pricey WIFI system, You might as well go big. Better being safe than sorry and not have to worry about anything robbing you of the internet you originally are paying for. I hope this helps anyone interested but not quite sure on which WIFI system to buy.
Again I say, there are several out there to choose from but if you have a large home 2500sqft or more and with dead zones, look no further. THIS IS IT!!!
P.S.
Oh BTW, I even forgot to disconnect my airport express that was connected to my 55” Sony 4k TV when I switched from Airport Extreme to the Orbi WIFI System and it is still working with the Orbi!!!
What a plus LoL!

What's great about it: Total Simulated Surround Sound
What's not so great: No HDMI Ports on back.
1st of all let me start off saying before anyone comments…I know that this is just a sound bar w/SubWoofer, not a total surround sound package with receiver/Amp and separate speakers, and for anyone giving this product a neg review soley because of the steep price is wasting ours & their prescious time. Reviews should be based on the item’s performance, ALONE! I am not an audiophile, I admit to that. I don’t want to run wires all over my 20’ x 27’ Basement. My setup is as follows: a 80” Sharp AQUOS 240htz 1080p 3D LED/LCD SMART TV, TWCable, XBOX360, & PS3…Ok, I originally had an old Bose 321 system, wanted something newer and better w/less wires, got me a LG 9.1 Surround with 2 front tower speakers, center, Sub, & 2 rear wireless…Not too happy with the sound. I was able to raise the volume all the way up, Not kool btw, I then returned to my local BestBuy and swapped for the 1 SR SBar…can’t get any simpler that this hookup, even remote hookup was easy, and the sound?!! Just one word…”PHENOMENAL”!!! My only gripe, No HDMI’s on back. Would have really liked to attach my gadgets to the soundbar via HDMI but, If you want that, you have to either buy a "LIFESTYLE 135 SYSTEM” or a total surround package like I mentioned above, and that price tag will run you about $2100.00. Not that serious for the money…but overall, very satisfied with my purchase and the rediculous sound this thing produces…If you have the extra cash, PURCHASE!!! You won’t regret it. Movie theater experience EVERY TIME!!! NO MATTER what you watch or play, (BLURAY, CABLE, SATELLITE, XBOX, PS3, ETC)!!!

How to set this up with a Verizon fios
My buddy has Verizon Fios and he told me that their Modem/Router is locked by them, I think you would have to call Verizon so that you can get into your router settings and disable the router’s WIFI so that you can connect the Orbi Router to said Verizon Modem. I would not recommend that you use both routers active and brodge the system in order for it to work If you have some serious video gamers in your house. Having both verizon and Orbi routers on bridge mode would conflict with NAT and give you a hard time playing multiplayer games.

what is the difference between Cinemate 1sr and lifestyle 135?
Compare cinemate 1sr to lifestyle 135 home theatre system.
The 1 SR is only a soundbar and wireless subwoofer, lifestyle 135 is the 1 SR with the included Bose receiver with 6 HDMI ports in the back. soundbar gets connected to the receiver and, the Bose receiver connects to tv via hdmi, all your other gadgets gets hooked up to the back of the Bose receiver’s hdmi ports instead of the tv…Oh, and it is approx $2100.00, much more pricier than the 1 SR Bar alone.

I have a LG HDTV will this System be compatable with it.
Bose is Compatible with any TV…this unit comes with instructions/codes to program the bose remote to possibly everything. for example, I can use the Bose controller on my TWCable Box, My 80” Sharp Aquos, I also programmed my TWCable remote to use the volume up/down for my 1 SR SBar. I can use either or remote if I so choose. If you want to use your LG remote, I am sure the LG remote is universal and you can program to use with the SBar, just remember to cancel the TV’s speakers in the Tv’s settings. LG is just as popular as Sharp, You shouldn’t have any problems.
