The Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter offers fast, efficient charging at home, in the office, or on the go. While the power adapter is compatible with any USB-C-enabled device, Apple recommends pairing it with the 11-inch iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd generation) for optimal charging performance. The Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter offers fast, efficient charging at home, in the office, or on the go.

The Apple branded power adapter is great. I've lost more than I care to but they'll go obsolete before they burn up. Always pay a premium with Apple though.

This 6.6' (2M) USB-C 2.0 cable connects your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with Lightning connector to your computer's USB-C port for syncing and charging. Or you can connect to the Apple USB-C Power Adapter for convenient charging from a wall outlet.*
Could be better.

This Apple branded cable is not very flexible but serves its purpose. Apple should seriously consider making a braided cable or making their cables much more flexible.

I have always had good experience with HP Printers. This particular model was a bit cumbersome to set-up and get functioning properly. The set-up should be more intuitive. In this case, what the guide says is not always what will happen. Either update the set-up or make it completely automated.

The overall quality is good. It fits snug around the iPhone 12 and does not feel slippery. I recommend using a separate screen protector to compliment the protection provided by the Tech 21 case.

Great range

This actually a step better than the router with which it is paired and that router is not even a year old! The range is much better that the wall-socket extenders and you can wire other devices to it which makes it great if you need it for your entertainment center across the house.

This laptop is a replacement for a 9 year old HP product. I cannot complain about the speed at all. The only thing that should be better is that HP should not bother with any SSD less than 512GB. And the cooling fans make too much noise. I plan on using SD cards for additional storage and/or investing in a solid-state external drive.

This router is performing great. I have no issue whatsoever with overall performance.
I deducted 1 star for the redundant downloadable management apps and a second star the horrible parental controls.
NETGEAR encourages you to download two apps to your mobile device(s) to manage the router remotely (NETGEAR Genie & NETGEAR Nighthawk). Neither of these have similar interface. (WHY?!) They even have a NETGEAR Genie app for your desktop/laptop computer. This one is the most effective app of the bunch.
HOWEVER, The parental control function on the all the apps is HORRIBLE. No wonder they steer you toward the Disney Circle parental control app, which is an annual subscription service. No Thanks.

Hey NETGEAR..... Pro Tip: Have parental controls that work intuitively or don't have them at all.
Frankly, NETGEAR, your parental controls are horribly unintuitive; FIX THEM. I pay enough of my hard-earned money for your router already. I am not paying Disney to do something I should be able to do on my own with a decent single router management app.
Once you get past the set-up and get oriented with the desktop router management the router is great. You are better off using the parental controls on your internet security software. Thus endeth my qualified recommendation.

Is this speaker compatible with Siri?

Yes, this keyboard is strictly wireless. Imho, the wired keyboards are headed the way of the Dodo bird. Wireless means you can kick back in your office chair and be comfortable. No more hunching over a keyboard nose-to-nose with the screen unless you want (or need) to be.

I just have the internet will this help speed up my internet or do I need a router my internet is through Xfinity
This will NOT speed-up your internet. Your internet speed depends on what speed you paid for through your ISP. You will need a router if your internet is connected to a computer only through the modem. Also, Xfinity provides a modem/router combo. Always make sure your equipment is compatible with your level of service. The equipment is always a 'choke point' for internet speed. Your equipment should always, at least match the speed you're paying for. Your best bet is to have equipment that has room for more bandwidth just in case your ISP boosts their service speed.

To take maximum benefit of this wifi extender, is it a good idea to have two extenders ( this product ) placed at different places to get rid of limited or dead wifi zones?

Does the signal extender have to be "hardwired" to the router or does it extend the wifi signal it picks up?
