I was really waiting for Boom, Swish, Plaahh, Kaboom, nothing... I was waiting for my neighbor to knock at my door and complain about the noise but nothing... no wonder Mad Max took all the awards. I think this copy was rush. I've been waiting for this movie to test my new 7.2 system...

I want more whale fights, man versus the whale. How did the whale took someone's body part. At the end maybe something like, "leave us alone!" scene; not that survival scene...

I had to get this collection edition because my first film I have it on DVD disc. I was planning of replacing my DVD disc to a to a Blu-ray copy. But then I waited because I know they will come out with this type of collection and I was right.
If you're a movie buff like I do a must have copy.

Read this before buying.

Excellent keyboard but I cannot recommend it and here’s why.
The second row keys they reverted the imprint of numbers and all the symbols (all over). For gamers maybe they don’t mind this but for other users or you’re not gaming it tends to confuse you.
The mechanical feel, wow factor, material made, lighting – I’ll gave it a 5-stars.
But because they reverted key orientation and the configuration driver for this keyboard is a struggle. One-star.

Excellent with Surface Pro 4
on April 2, 2016
Posted by: ArthurAsc
from Queens, NY
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the second generation device it's the most Hi-Def wireless stream I've seen, not in 4K quality but close, the audio tested only in stereo and is quite excellent too. Hopefully, the third generation would able to do full 4K and full 7.2 Dolby's ATMOS audio streaming. The video goes directly to the TV and the audio goes directly to your receiver, well pennies for my thoughts!. This would be the elimination of HDMI cable, but still I believe in direct connection, less distortion and less configuration or complication.
This device I would recommend it highly with Microsoft Surface 4 Pro only and other devices with Miracast Wireless. This is not a fully universal wireless display adapter. For now the closes per say "universal wireless display" adapter is Google's Chromecast.

Enjoy fast Internet access with this NETGEAR N750 dual-band wireless-N Gigabit router that features data transfer rates up to 750 Mbps, so you can easily stream high-definition content. Four Ethernet ports allow expanded connectivity options.
 

Do I need a computer / laptop to set this up?

I see that net gear has an app for my iPad that is compatible with this model. Do I need to initially set it up with a desktop/ laptop? Or should it just kind of plug in and go with a modem?
Your 1st question: The answer is yes.
You have "or" question as 2nd question: Not a good idea. - Here's why - plugging yourself directly to a modem your open to public, public will see you easily. A modem then a router then you is better. That router creates a layer of door or wall so public will not see you directly.

Only @ Best BuyConnect your MHL-enabled mobile phone or tablet to an HDTV, monitor or AVR with an HDMI input with this Rocketfish™ RF-G1171 adapter, which lets you stream up to 1080p video, plus audio in up to 7.1-channel surround sound.
 

Any suggestions why mhl adapter may not work with Composite/AV adapter?

I connected the adapter to my phone and a HDMI TV and it works. I connect it to a HDMI to Composite/AV adapter and it does not work. I connect a LG Blueray player HDMI to the Composite/AV adapter and it works. Is there some setting on the phone that I may be overlooking? The phone is Galaxy S4, the MHL adapter is Rocketfish and the Composite/AV adapter is J-Tech Digital JTD-MH-AV. Thank you for any suggestions.
Simple answer the MHL technology was not design to work with non-HDMI connection. I did have a Samsung S4 too and it works better on it's own Samsung MHL 2.0 or higher. It seems you're trying to mix from old with new technology - Try to explore your option with ChromeCast wireless device with your Samsung S4 too, or any older devices too.

GALAXY NOTE 8.0 Compatability

I bought this for the Note 8.0 GT-N5110 and I can't seem to get it to work. The tv is an LG and the HDMI port says HDMI/MHL. I've tried different chargers and multiple restarts. Does this adapter work with the note 8?
I wish I could answer all question here about MHL connectivity. This is a very cheap alternative from portable device to TV.

90% percent the answer would be no.

It's a hit or miss. When it comes to MHL connection is very bad because it is not standardize. You will have a better luck on Google's ChromeCast or Amazon Fire TV or Apple TV or Roku. I'll give you a hint - From a Samsung cable to Samsung device to a Samsung TV wouldn't even work properly. What more with a different manufacturer.

I leave this for last: Try the Samsung MHL 2.0 cable it is $50 or more. Try other internet stores for cheaper price.

Sharp Aquos Cell.

I bought the mhl adapter and tried using it on my Sharp phone and nothing seemed to work. No picture or won't charge the phone. Is there a setting I need to do or change?

what would I buy to work with my I Phone 5?

I just bought a 28 inch Insignia TV NS-28DD310 NA15

I wanted wifi wireless access, but it is not on that tv. Can i buy a device similar to this that is compatible to my I phone 5?
Apple TV.
All you need from your TV is HDMI connection in. The wireless connection would between your router and Apple TV device then via HDMI cable to your TV.

Is there a wireless router that allows you to set individual internet access times?

I want to find a router that allows me manually enter in times that the internet will be turned off/on to specific devices. My old ASUS only allowed me to turn off/on in hour blocks (ex, 12am-1am, 1am-2am, etc). I am now using a Netgear router, but I can only use 30 minute blocks (ex, 12am-12:30am, 12:30am-1am, etc).

Is there a router that allows a person to type in specific times? Example, if I wanted internet access to a device from 7:10pm to 9:50pm.

Thank you!
Yes, I did check my Asus AC2400 RT-AC87R and you can. I am a fun of Netgear as well but I'm pretty sure there higher model may have the same capability what you need. Helpful hint, you can download manuals from Netgear to see if it can what you need before buying.

I also added a picture for you to see.

how do I change the password on a net gear wireless router?

Older router by default lost password cannot be recovered. You must hard reset it, by doing this you will loss the settings. By default factory password are printed at back of the router.

Need wired connection on 2nd floor but no ethernet

Problem is this, I purchased Internet (no cable/phone service) and the modem was put on the main level of my house along with the wireless router. I need to have a wired connection in my office upstairs to be able to connect to an IP phone. Is there some sort of wireless device that I can plug power into upstairs that can carry the signal from downstairs to my office upstairs? I don't have ethernet ports anywhere in the house except for where the modem/router are located. Any help is appreciated!
You need the Netgear Powerline 500 or any version may suit your need. You may also search other brands that has similar functions.
A must rule to follow is the main electrical circuit MUST be the same power circuit breaker. For further question consult an electrician.
