Another Quality Netgear Product
on November 17, 2016
Posted by: FlyBoyJ
Before I bought the R9000 I tried that EA9500 from Linksys. So I can provide a comparison between them both.
The R9000 is perfect for my needs and is complimented by my R8000 in Access Point mode. With 6 LAN ports and the 7th being a 10gb line (one can dream right!?) I'm able to provide networking capability to my entire house without the need for switches all over the place.
I've only experienced 1 hiccup with the R9000 since I've hooked it up and that involved all the LAN ports not having internet access, however, the WIFI worked fine - a simple router reboot and I haven't seen it happen again.
I've been a Netgear user for the past 5 years now (intermixed with some mistakes of trying Linksys) and I couldn't be happier. I don't use the USB functions of the router so I can't comment on that.
Pros:
- 6 LAN Ports
- No degradation in through-put to any device measured by Speed Tests
- Easy to manage and navigate GUI
- It just plain works!

Like I mentioned, before buying the R9000 I had the EA9500 for 2 weeks - biggest mistake ever. The EA9500 had excellent wifi coverage, maybe just a tad better than the R9000 but it had a terribly dumbed-down GUI and constantly dropped devices and internet connection. Further, the EA9500 GUI would constantly lock up and crash the router - in two weeks I had to reset the router to factory defaults 3 different times. The only leg up the EA9500 has on the R9000 is the linksys iOS/Android app is superior to netgears - but that doesn't tip the scales at all.
Overall, I highly recommend the R9000 - like I said I've been a netgear customer for years and years and I've barely ever had an issue. You won't be disappointed!

These speakers are small - but the sound they produce is HUGE. I hung these under my back porch awning area and I can hear crystal clear music in the street in front of my house ... simply amazing sound quality.
Pros:
- Easy to mount with included bracket (mounted mine into bricks).
- GREAT Sound
- Pretty decent bass for a small outdoor speaker

Gets the Job Done!

This is exactly the product I needed and it gets the job done - there's not too much to say about a projector mount. Yea its a big expensive but its very well built - the directions were lacking in my opinion, but if you're installing this you probably already know what you're doing.
The round covering to hide the mechanicals of it are pretty chincey though, so if you're depending on that thin plastic that doesn't fit right to hide all your mechanicals of the mount - I would think of a different plan. Mine is outside so it really doesn't matter to me ..

I sold my TB X07's for the stealth 500x - have yet to be disappointed. I game quite a bit, maybe 2-3 hours a night after work and I never develop any hotspots or issues that I wouldn't develop with any other headset (such as my Bose Quiet Comforts).
Multitude of configure options when you hook it up to your computer (that are updated frequently) as well the ability to switch between a ton of configurations just on the headset itself.
It's wireless, which is huge for me and has a pretty good distance - I've used it outside, walking in and out, upstairs, in another room (behind the transmitter even) and it's worked flawlessly. Huge bonus is the rechargable battery - I've just setup a USB hub near my system for all the rechargable batteries (controllers etc) and it's just a part of my process now.
HIGHLY recommend. I'm not sure what the 800X reviews are now, but I was initially going to get that ... but based on the reviews and the solid performance of the 500 I went with the 500 - unless you're dying for the latest and greatest, save a bit of money and get the 500.

There's not a whole lot more I can say that others haven't - GoPro is amazing. The unit is solid, comes with some nice accessories in the box. I went ahead and bought a few other clamps so that I could have it hold on bikes, cars and in airplanes.
I've taken my GoPro flying, put it on drones, attached it to cars, bikes and I've used a multitude of straps/grips - every time the GoPro performs better than I expect.
A couple of "cons" - these really aren't cons for me ... it's just something to be fully aware of:
- Wifi + 4k usage = 20 minuteish battery life
-- I use my Phone or iPad a lot after I clamp down the GoPro somewhere, mostly, to see my shot ... and a lot of times I can't deactivate easily the Wifi radio after setting it up ... so with 4K I've seen it burn through the battery awfully fast - it makes sense, just be aware.

I highly recommend pairing this with the phone/tablet app and getting the wireless remote.

I bought this from Best Buy this week ... and man is this thing awesome! Unlike some other reviewers, I don't have an issue having to start/stop the GoPro "by hand" or disassembling the gimbal a bit in order to get to the video - not big deal. In fact, if you sync the GoPro to your phone OR the GoPro remote, at certain distances you could take snaps, start/stop video etc.
Overall: Excellent Buy - especially at $499.
I did notice that at times my video had a bit of propeller or of the drone feet in the shot, but this was mostly due to the drone compensating for maneuvering or dealing with wind - which it does so amazing.
I didn't notice any "slow" gimbal moving as some have described, this is also my first drone but the gimbal has moved as I would expect it to. With clear line of sight I've probably gotten close to 3-3500 feet on the video transmission - then again where I live there's very little obstacles.
If you're looking for a drone and already have a GoPro look no further, you won't be disappointed.
Pros:
- Great Price
- Can Use Your GoPro
- It's all plastic but it feels sturdy
- Intuitive controller - I just picked it up and went with it ... Especially if you've used other RC's
- Good Gimbal!

does it mess with evil controllers
i bought the evil controller from best buy with rapid fire and it works fine until I plug in my Xosevens into the remote wonder if this would not mess with it since there is no wires
Not sure what your problems are with the X07, but correct there is no wires so there is no physical interference with the controller.

Can you use the headset if 2 xbox ones are on in the same room>
When you have to xbox ones on in the same room and your trrying to play a game but it switches to the other xbox one hearing the other persons game. is this possible
It shouldn't be - the transmitter/receiver is physically connected via USB to the Xbox - so it should only be picking up sound from that xbox.
Obviously if you're under headphones and their blaring sound through the TV or other speakers, you will probably here it ... but there is no way that in your headset you would actually pick up their game sound because of the transmitter/receiver can only be plugged into one xbox.
