At only $499.00 this is a fantastic buy from a reputable manufacturer. The image on this site shows $35 per year to operate. The sticker on the device read only 18.00 per year. It is very light too.

What's great about it: Price, features
What's not so great: Staying on-line
I had to return this one as it would not keep the Internet connection. I saw many drops per day in the cable modem log, which explained the download interruption errors.
I wanted this one based on a previous router from Netgear and the same feature in this one to block certain sites.
The Netgear Genie software reflects incorrect settings and staus compared to the web-based config interface.
Netgear Geanie has to be downloaded separately.

What's great about it: Long lasting (compared to the original)
What's not so great: Could use a little more capacity. Adds weight.
This makes the Galaxy Nexus usable in my opinion. I have seen other batteries with more capacity but this was on sale for 24.99. That can't be beat.

What's great about it: Saves Money compared to renting
What's not so great: Not DOCSIS 3
This device has saved loads of money as cable companies charge $3.00 - 7.00 per month rental fee for the same or similar device.
Although it is DOCSIS 2 and not 3, the cable company in most cases only needs 2 for the lower speeds

What's great about it: Wireless, Web interface
What's not so great: No parental controls, no blocking by URL
This wireless router is a simple no-frills router. It can easily handle many devices wirelessly at once. We use a mix of Windows-based PCs and laptops, Android Tablets and smart phones simultaneously. Even a wireless printer when the printer is functioning.
You can see the connected devices using the web-browser interface.
I would like to be able to block certain sites though. That feature is missing from this device.
I would now recommend a similar priced Netgear router.

Google Chromecast: Easily stream your favorite apps and media to your TV via Wi-Fi with Chromecast. Use the included USB cable to plug the Chromecast into your TV, and control streaming content using your compatible smartphone, tablet or computer.
 

can I watch regular digital television channels if i buy chromecast?

Time Warner Cable wants me to buy the box to rent so i be able to watch what is like ABC, NBC, FOX, PBS, ETC. Ever since the regular channels became digital, they want people to buy a digital television in order to keep watching, but not too long ago, now no channels will display and I was or am thinking of buying chromecast if it allows me to watch these channels again apart from netflix. If this device don't do what i am asking for, should i just buy the one call rabbit tv usb stick?
There ARE apps for the Android platform from each of the networks you listed. I have NOT been able to watch LIVE programs from those apps. The chromecast can display content from a large amount of video sources, but I have not yet determined how to get access to LIVE broadcasts other than from ESPN onto the Chromecast.

if i download a movie on my laptop can i cast it to my tv?

Yes. Most video content can be 'cast' to the device using the Chrome Browser on Windows PCs and there is a wide variety of apps to cast from the Android platform as well. For content not supported by the Chromecast natively, try using a media server like Plex and / or BubbleUPnP.

Is it possible to buy heads for a printer?

Someone told me the heads on my printer were bad. the machine is only 2 years old.
Most of today's printers have the print heads built into the ink cartridges. If yours is an older model without this technology, you may be better off upgrading to one of the affordable ones that does. Include your model number etc when asking and people may have the same issue, etc. Good luck!
