 Antennas Direct - ClearStream 4V Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna - Black/Silver
Antennas Direct - ClearStream 4V Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna - Black/Silver
The ClearStream 4V HDTV Antenna uses patented technology to receive TV signals 70 miles away from broadcast towers. Ideal for suburban and rural areas where heavy foliage or roofing materials reduce the incoming signal. The dedicated UHF and VHF multi-directional elements deliver range and reception in less than ideal locations. The ClearStream 4V comes with mounting hardware and a 20in. mount with a pivoting foot to allow installation on vertical or horizontal surfaces.
 
Brought in all stations in area with great signal

I have not had great experiences with smaller antennas. Before I installed it on the roof, I decided to hold it in my hand and connect it to my tv in my den. Inside a brick covered house, I got strong local signals that were elusive to the smaller indoor antennas I had tried.
That sealed the deal. I mounted it on my roof and all channels in 50 miles are coming in strong. 69 in the San Antonio Area.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was blaming my ISP for not putting through the speed quoted when my old router started dropping our connections.
It was a first generation N router and at the end of its life cycle.
Went into Best Buy looking to get the RT-AC68P. Found the RT-AC87R on sale for $13 more and decided to upgrade to the higher router.
My speeds literally doubled. My streaming no longer buffers and gaming is noticeably smoother.
On setup, I could not find the login name and password in the docs but I guessed correctly that they were admin and blank for the password which i changed immediately. No calls were needed to customer support.
So far, I am very satisifed with the purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does this Asus mu-mimo router solve the problem of many users at the same time?

I am having the problem of Internet dropping with netflix on an x-box 360, an iPad, and an android tablet running at the same time. Will this Asus router fix that problem?
I was having the same issue with my Dlink 655 router.
This router has a two bands, one at 5G and one at 2.4.G.
Currently running (on the 5G Band) two Roku in Hd with Sony PS4 at the same time no buffering or issues.

I run the tablet, 4 phones and 3 PCs on the 2.4G channel and the tablet connects at 20MB with no problem at an extended range. Computers connect at 80MB.
