Far as I know this is every episode of the cartoon tv show. It's exactly what I remembered as a kid. I prefer the earlier seasons over the later ones but this is a perfect gift for any TMNT fan. The Van DVD case is pretty cool too.

I really like this water cooler. It's my first foray into Water Cooling and needless to say I am impressed with it overall. Now I am thinking about trying to find a water cooling solution for my graphics card.
Not too impressed with the Corsair Link software but it's functional. Also I though it would cool my CPU a bit more than it seems to. But that could be a misconception about water cooling on my part. I still need to get some time to seriously OC my CPU and see how it handles the higher heat.

I bought this before Best Buy carried it. Got it in the mail and plugged it in. Could not get it to work at all. Finally double checked everything and tried the filter that came with it (all other DSL devices do not want the filter on the line going into the modem, this one appears to require it). Finally got it working, and checked my speed. My 50/5 was registering at 25/1. Could not get it to go faster than that. Called my ISP and they sent out a tech and said everything was fine outside to the box. I decided I would redo the wiring in my house because it was 40 years old. Got that fixed and the old modem worked instantly no problems, the Netgear would not detect a signal from the ISP ever again. Now I have to return it via the extra warranty company that I bought for it.
When it did work, the wireless signal was no stronger than my old no antenna cheap provided by the ISP router (Centurylink C1000A). No stronger than my old Netgear WNDR-3700 which also does not have external antenna's. Was a complete waste of $250 in my case.

Just bought the keyboard to replace my dying old K250. First thing I noticed out of the box is how creaky it is. Just handling it causes it to creak and make weird noises.
Setup was a breeze since I just had to launch the unifying software and turn off and then on my new keyboard and it linked right up.
The keys to be nice and soft and seem to work well.
Overall I am not sure how I like the creaks coming from it but hopefully that won't affect its life.

Bought this about a year and half ago and it's already starting to die on us. Right now it seems to overheat and shut down. The only fix is to pull the plug. We barely got our $99 out of it (rather than paying $6 a month rental fee). Unfortunately this is the only one available so we are stuck with it.
Also the Wireless N signal is quite weak, my older Netgear WNDR3700 has a far better signal.

is this compatible with AT&T DSL (not Uverse)?

I currently have AT&T DSL Netgear modem/router and my new amazon ECHO keeps dropping
the connection.:
1. is this compatible with Netgear B90-755025 AT&T modem/router?
2. will th is support the ECHO along with 6 other devices (phones,laptop,ipad,Directv)?
This device would REPLACE your ATT DSL router/modem. The only way to really know if it is compatible is to buy it and try it, when I setup mine I remember seeing AT&T listed in the settings. Just keep the receipt so you can return it if you can't get it to work. Was supposed to work for my area too but it didn't for me.

Another options is to disable the wireless on the ISP provided modem/router and buy a new wireless router just for handling wireless in your house. Asus makes top notch wireless routers now.

How do I know which router to choose that would work with Verizon fios 50mbs.

FIOS I believe is limited to what the ISP (ie Verizon) provides. I don't believe there is any standards for FIOS. What you can do is disable the internal wireless on the FIOS router and buy a new Wireless router to handle that portion. If that is what you are asking then ASUS brand routers are highly rated and loved by the techies out there, like the RT-AC68P or the RT-N66R.

best speed for netflix

Looking for a router for solid netflix reception. Also eventually for gaming.
Gaming isn't great via wireless. To get the best ping rates if online gaming you want Ethernet/Wired. If you can't do that then Powerline works well with a slightly longer delay but not nearly as much as Wireless. I use the Netgear XWNB5201-100PAS myself.

On Youtube look up NCIX Tech Tips #52 where it compares the ping of the three different techs.

What kind of distance can you expect?

My current Wi-Fi is getting older, but works fine, covers the entire house (single story). Was hoping a new one would reach my shop in the back yard. I understand physical limitations vary, but what kind of range can you expect with the Nighthawk and how much more with the booster?
I have a older Netgear WNDR3700 with no external antenna's, and my ISP provided Actiontec Q1000. I found in my house to have ZERO extra distance with this router compared to either of the previous mentioned routers. I ended up just buying a powerline extender to do what I wanted instead and returned this.

my small one man ofice has concast equipment and my router is shot. The modem is comcasts - so i have this router I will bring in and hope to hook up. Will it connect and work?
It should work if you are only getting Internet via Comcast. If you also have TV and Phone and that combo box died, then you will need a new one via Comcast. This will support only Internet.

Yes, it supports WI-FI and LAN (only 2 LAN ports though so you may need a secondary hub if you need more than 2 devices hardwired into the LAN).
