When your smartphone battery dies, you lose the ability to stay connected. Whether it's social media, your calendar or just the internet, nothing's worse than a device with a low battery and no way to charge it. The Insignia NS-PC3CC8W23 8' USB-C to USB-C Charge-and-Sync Cable lets you power and transfer files between USB-C smartphones, tablets and more. Data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps ensure quick and efficient data transfers. With a white-gray braided design, you can count on its durable exterior for everyday use. This 8 ft. (2.4 m) cable keeps you connected to what you need.

The activation instructions could be better. I would not suggest following the website link provided in the material to activate as somehow there is no option to opt out of continuous service, meaning you need to give them your credit card number (unless that is what you wanna do).
Instead, call to activate. It took a couple of minutes.
Reception is very spotty even in midtown Manhattan, let alone in the boroughs.
All in all, good enough for to be used for a month's visit to NY according to my family members I purchased this for.

For a launch title, Nintendo certainly out done themselves with such a well crafted, beautiful masterpiece that demonstrates the power of good programming using relatively weak hardware. Whether in portable mode or docked, you will get the same experience.
A lot of people complain about the weapon breakage, but I found it perfectly compliments the combat system. While in the beginning you don't have much choice but to pick up whatever and use it to fight, later on, you will get to choose whatever that you prefer especially once you get to know the places that weapons respawn.
One frustrating mechanic which I wish they would tone down is how rain affects climbing. But even that can be overcome later on with the correct tools.
If you expect a story, there is not much here. It's like Mario where you know the end game before the game even starts - save the world and the princess. There is nothing more in the way and you can even go directly to the final boss without doing anything else!
This remains one of the best games I have ever played and will likely remain so for a very long time untill, maybe, Nintendo can somehow trump this with the next Zelda game.

 NETGEAR - Nighthawk AC2400 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 5 Router - Black
NETGEAR - Nighthawk AC2400 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 5 Router - Black
The NETGEAR Nighthawk AC2400 Smart Wi-Fi 5 Router provides up to 1733 + 600 Mbps Wi-Fi and MU-MIMO for lag-free gaming, better video streaming and multiple mobile devices. With Gigabit Wi-Fi, Beamforming, and built-in high-powered amplifiers and external antennas, get ready for extreme performance. Unlike typical Wi-Fi routers that just blast the Wi-Fi signals in all directions, with Beamforming+ the router and device communicate with each other, so the router can directly beam the Wi-Fi signal to the device. Boosting speed, reliability, and range for both implicit and explicit 2.4 and 5.0GHz Wi-Fi devices, the result is a stronger, faster, more reliable connection that is locked in even when the device is moved around the home
 
Fast, easy to setup with Fios

Bought this as a replacement of the FiOS quantum gateway. Setup is easy as login to the FiOS router, release the DHCP lease in advanced settings, quickly unplug it to prevent auto renew and install the AC2400.
After first connecting to the router, login to the router, follow the setup prompts and voila! Internet!
Speed test result is as expected. Websites seems to load faster than when I was using the quantum gateway - maybe just excitment from my new toy. Will update later.
The nighthawk app is decent but nothing really useful, at least for me.
There is an USB 3.0 port if you need to connect a external hard drive. Netgear offers a program to do auto backups to that drive too if that's your thing.
Connecting to my shared folders and Plex works just fine.
I also tested casting from my S9+ to my Samsung TV and videos runs well but sound can be choppy. But at least it doesnt drop connections compared to the quantum gateway (and a tp link router that I previous tested too).
A slight nikpick is the size - not sure if they really have to make it so wide..
Overall, an excellent router. Highly recommended.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What is your actual experience with charging times in the 100 Watt cable vs 240 Watt cable?

Didn’t time it but theoretically they should be the same with the 240w rated cable being able to juice up devices that can take advantage of it of course (which theoretically should make them charge faster).

Hi, I do NOT have an internet/cable provider. i was wondering if a router alone would provide wifi? or would i need to actually have optimum, xfinity, direct tv etc something to receive wifi ?

You will need a provider to connect to the internet. That's what wifi routers are for..

This is a router, you will need to get what they said or get a separate modem.

Is this item support 200 Mbps from spectrum?

Speed wise, it is rated to take up to a gigabit. Not sure about provider.

I have sort of a unique situation that I would need this for. Does this unit have the ability to broadcast in ONLY 2.4ghz? Am I able to disable the 5ghz band only?

Yes. It is enabled by defualt but go into wireless settings and you can disable either.

Are this will work with Verizon Fios? I have 150 speed but sometimes is really slow is this would help ?

Yup, works perfectly! Just make sure you release your DHCP lease before plugging this one in.
