This thing just works. Pair it with your WiFi and control it from you phone. Perfect. As will all reviews, the sellers what instant reviews so the reliability of the review is questionable since nobody has been using the product for an extended time. So that is the open question here. Just how long does it last. We will see.

This is the 3rd tracker I have bought from Fitbit, but this is the first one I miss when I don't have it on. One thing I have an issue with is the heart rate. There are times I am on my elliptical and it is showing 98 bpm and the fitbit is showing 120 bpm. Eventually the fitbit comes down and matches the elliptical, but I don't get why the occasional discrepancy.

I am not a movie critique, but I can criticize quality. Anyone who thinks they are watich 4K through any streaming service is just wasting their money. You have a 4K TV and a suround sound system then you need 4K BluRay disks. Audio and video qualty can't be matched from any other source.

The audio on this phone is a bit weak with not much depth in the audio. But for the money this can't be beat and additional handsets at $20 you can't go wrong. Only reason for 3 stars is just the audio quality. But don't get me wrong, audio is acceptable.

 NETGEAR - Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender with Ethernet port
NETGEAR - Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender with Ethernet port
NETGEAR Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender: Broaden your network connection with a range extender that gives you extra Wi-Fi coverage in your home. Smart LED indicators will direct you to the optimal location to plug the extender into the wall, so you can easily enjoy improved range and speed on your mobile and wired devices. Save on data usage by connecting your smartphone or tablet to your home network.
 

My internet box is downstairs I have 3 bedrooms upstairs where the internet service is like non existance. . If I put this upstairs will it work?

In my opinion you never know until you try. But I will be surprised if it works any better. As an extender it uses WiFi to talk to your router. This will not magically get a better WiFi signal than your devices get so I am fairly sure service will remain spotty. This device can also be setup as an access point in which case if you have an ethernet cable run from your router to the upstairs, you plug that cable into this device and that would give you better coverage upstairs since the cable provides the connection to your internet. If running a cable is not practical for you, I would give a power line network extender a try. I have never used one, but I hear they are fairly good providing you have a good electrical system in the house. With this type of device it uses your household electrical wiring to send your data between two devices. One will be upstairs and the other down by your router. Best buy has a NETGEAR - Powerline AC1200 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (2-pack) - White that is highly rated. But I don't think this provides a WiFi signal so you would still need a WiFi device to send that signal out. You could use this and the Extender you are asking about, cable the two together and be all set.

 Klipsch - Synergy Series 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speakers (Pair) - White
Klipsch - Synergy Series 2-Way Indoor/Outdoor Speakers (Pair) - White
Buy this pair of weather-resistant, high-quality speakers and enjoy music on your patio, in your garden or by your pool.
 

How many watts are the speakers and is there any other outdoor speakers that are more powerful but the same brand?

Recommended wattage is 75 watts with a peak power handling of 150 watts. The Klipsch AW-650 is rated at 85 watts with 340 watt peak. I am sure there are more powerful speakers out there since the world of speakers is quite large. I just have always liked my Klipsch.

if I buy the digital down load will I still have to pay a fee to use the program every year? if you do how much is it too renew? I have a older version now that I don't have to pay anything for.

They charge the same price you would pay to get the first year. So far I have been able to work around that by finding a 2 year subscription in 2018 for the price of 1, and this year managed to purchase it from Best Buy for $23 for Deluxe so basicaly half price again. But yes, you have to renew every year.

What exactly does the subscription cover? Do I have to purchase a new download every year or is it for a yearly subscription service to continue downloads from my bank accounts? I have not enabled that option in the Quicken program I have used for years.

It is a subscription for the software. I don't know what would happen if you let that lapse. I would think you could continue to use it since you don't download your banking data.

 Logitech - Harmony 950 Universal Remote - Black
Logitech - Harmony 950 Universal Remote - Black
Control multiple devices with this Logitech universal remote. It's compatible with over 270,000 home entertainment devices, and it lets you power them on and off, adjust volume and switch channels with the illuminated 2.4-inch touch screen. Keep this Logitech universal remote ready for action with the included rechargeable battery and charging station.
 

Can this remote control the Xfinity X1 box/dvr AND AppleTV 4k? I HATE the Apple Siri remote and am looking for an "all in one" alternative for AppleTv and my Xfinity X1 service.

All I can tell you is all 4 generations of Apple TV are available as a device in the remote setup so I don't see why it would not work.
