I think the stand should automatically come with the Echo Show 8, it just looks nice. - - - - -
I did buy this thinking and reading here on the Best Buy questions and answers that it was able to be tilted perfectly vertical or even a little more at a downward angle - - - - -
Like if it were on your nightstand and your bed was maybe lower than the nightstand. - - - - -
So, No - it does Not tilt totally vertical - I have pics to show
I still recommend it :) :) :)
I had some Best Buy Reward Points - -
So I got this for only $9.99 :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent, I will only buy Insignia TV's - that's how much I like them. - - - - I have 3 of them and they are performing very well. - - - - This 39" class is actually in my Surround Sound TV Room, it has all the hookups on the back that I need to have my Surround Sound, like: the HDMI ARC 1 and it is also WiFi enabled. - - - - The Roku part is awesome too because you can access so many Video's, Apps and any input you have like a Fire TV Stick and Antenna Over the Air TV.

I have this in my Movie Room - - - - It controls my surround sound 5.2 Speakers including Center channel and Subwoofer - - - - I recommend buying a TV with ARC because this DENON Receiver should be connected to that ARC on the TV (most new tv's in 2/20/20 now have the ARC HDMI hook-up).

I use this as my main tv and it's awesome! - - - - - All my TV's are Roku TV's because they are easy to get to the settings and all the entertainment that Roku offers. - - - - - - It has an over the air tuner meaning that you can buy a powered antenna for the inside of your house (or outside) - connect the antenna coax cable to the Roku TV and you will pick up your local channels and some are in 1080P believe it or not ;) - - - - - i have 41 channels over the air. - - - - - This is good - for example it your cable TV goes out for some reason - you can switch inputs to the Antenna input and you will have TV.

I bought 4 of these, 1 connects to my router and the other 3 go to 2 Roku TV's with 2 Fire Sticks and and my other goes to another TV just with Fire Stick - (note: all 3 of my Fire Sticks have the Ethernet adapter connected to them) but remember the Roku TV's and the Fire Stick only can receive 100 Mbps Max - so in reality for me it's "overkill" for all my devices, since this Netgear Powerline 2000 can distribute 1000Mbps Gigabit speeds to any device that can accept 1000Mbps.
On all my devices that can only accept 100Mbps, I actually tested the speeds and im receiving approx 88Mbps speeds at 75 feet away, this is very good, because I had the lower end Netgear Powerline 500 products connected before these newer Powerline 2000 and they only tested at 45 Mbps at the same distance of 75 feet. So even though it's "overkill" it's worth using these because their twice as fast ;)

LOL, I'm using this Roku Ultra 4K - - - believe or not for a 15" Flat screen 1080p HD TV, because it's the only device that has the Xfinity Stream Beta App for Comcast Xfinity X1 customers - - - yes, it is overkill but its better than paying Comcast money every month to have a TV box for a tiny 15" HD TV, that I watch only for a small amount of time. - - - I have 3 Roku TV's and this Ultra so I know how awesome they are ;)

Are the ethernet ports really POE? Spec sheets from Netgear website do not describe them as POE. If so, POE or POE+?

it's NEITHER POE OR POE+ and has nothing to do with "Power Over Ethernet" and has NEVER been stated that way on ANY Netgear Powerline Product, if you read the box you would have comprehended that it uses the power lines in your house to send the internet signal to your devices,

can this product boost reception for a fire stick?

Yes, I bought the ethernet adapter on Amazon for the Fire Stick and use one of these Powerlines 2000 connected to the Roku TV as well as the Fire Stick - - - at 75 feet I get about 88 Mbps. thats awesome speed at that distance - - - - and remember the Fire TV Stick can ONLY receive a Maximum of 100 Mbps... - - - - even though this Powerline 2000 is Gigabit (1000Mbps). - - - yes it is overkill but if you buy a Powerline 500 for example (like I have) at the same distance - the speed is actually half at about 40Mbps

Will this product provide internet service to a barn 200+ feet away? Power to the barn runs underground and is serviced from our home.

The farthest I have mine is 75 feet and works fine, but 200 feet might be stretching it because the more distance = more degrade of the signal strength. - - - You would just have to try it and see for yourself.

Is there a separate device to connect to the router or are they all interchangeable?

Either one can connect to your router and the other goes anywhere in the house that you need 2 ethernet connections - so yes they are interchangeable.

I have a 3000 Sq feet home with a electrical box that looks like has 2 sections (Sorry about possibly wrong terminology). My understanding the outlets need to be on the same box. How do I test that?

I have 5000 Sq Ft Home and they work at 75 feet away, but i have one huge breaker box in the 3 car garage. - - - Each Powerline unit has a light to indicate if one box will work with the other box you have at the other end of your house - - - Green is what you want, if its amber color you don't want it at that electrical outlet because you will get slower speeds and its not worth using it there.

I currently have the Powerline AC1000 Wifi Access Point and Adapter. Could I add these to my existing powerline setup?

as far as i can tell, YES you can. - - - I have mixed powerline 500's with powerline 2000's - - - the only way to really know, is buy a box and see if it works. - if not just return it.
