I've had nearly every iteration of Roku devices since they've launched (except the 4) and in my experience, this might be the best one they've released. The performance is absolutely great (especially if you compare to the first generation stick, which was not good in this regard), wifi connection is rock solid, and the portability makes it useful in any number of situations.

Prevent dead zones around your home with the help of this Linksys Wi-Fi range extender. It works with all types of Wi-Fi routers, and it uses multi-user MIMO for speed and efficiency. This Linksys Wi-Fi range extender can be used to create a different access point or to extend the field of the router’s connection.

I've been using this range extender in my home for roughly a week (in concert with an Asus AC68U router) and for the most part, it has performed well. My house is a moderately sized two story home, and my router is placed in the lower, far north west corner. I run a number of streaming devices (various Rokus and Chromecasts) throughout my home and this range extender has generally aided in providing a solid connection to devices in the opposite corner of my house (upper south east). Setup was not as seamless as I would have expected, however. Connecting to my router using WPS worked very well for both my 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks. However, on the first time through setup, I enabled the option to mirror my router's settings in hopes of creating a seamless roaming network and this rendered the extender unusable. After multiple resets (the extender wouldn't connect via WPS after the first reset) i got the extender up and running, albeit with two additional/separate networks (for both frequencies). Apparently, seamless roaming is only compatible with certain, Linksys branded routers currently. Hopefully this changes in the future.
Overall, this device works reasonably well, especially if you're not looking for seamless roaming. The web interface feels a bit more modern than others i have tried, and connecting to my router was a cinch.

Budget tablet that works reasonably well
on May 18, 2016
Posted by: Jturn
I've had well over a dozen Android devices over the past 7 or so years, and while this tablet certainly isn't the worst service I've had and actually performs rather admirably, there's still no doubt that you get what you pay for in this case.
To start off, the good. While the screen is a mixed bag (the resolution is a glaring negative, especially for anyone used to a modern retina/qHD+ style screen, and black levels are pretty bad), screen uniformity on my unit was excellent. No corner/edge light bleed, no dead pixels, no issues overall. General performance is also decent; most definitely good for watching videos on YouTube or Google Play Movies (assuming the lack of high resolution isn't off-putting to you), good for browsing, and even passable for some light gaming (here, the resolution is a plus, since it takes less horsepower to render less pixels).
Now, the not so good. The bundled software hinders the experience rather than adds to it overall. The Acer launcher, music and photo apps are highly unnecessary. The barrage of setup screens it presents you with on first load will most likely be intimidating to new to Android users. Speaking of which, this tablet isn't for anyone looking for the latest and greatest Android update. My unit came loaded with 5.1 and has not received an update as of this writing. Also, the camera is what can only be described as useless. The amount of pixelation in the pictures makes them look like they were taken in 05 on a RAZR flip phone. Finally, battery life isn't great.
Overall, this tablet is what it is; a budget tablet that's great for browsing, decent for watching movies and videos, and ok for gaming. It would probably make a great starter device for someone that doesn't need anything fancy or expensive.

Protect your Google Nexus 7 (2013) tablet with this Google 7082570 case, which features a microsuede cover to safeguard your device's screen against damage. The built-in stand allows comfortable typing and hands-free viewing.

It technically gets the job done as a protective case, but if you're looking for something that serves more than that purpose (for instance, as a stand) I'd look elsewhere. The screen cover side is not magnetic and as such, doesn't turn the screen off, and it has no real weight to it so while you could use it as a stand, it's really just a hassle to use. Also, corner snapped while I was trying to remove it so there's that as well... I'm fairly surprised this is labeled as an "official" case.

Lots of Space, Good Aesthetic

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this stand for my 55" plasma. I needed a stand large enough to accommodate an oversized Pioneer receiver, PS4, cable box, Roku, Blu-Ray player, and a very large Paradigm Center 3 center channel speaker. This stand fit all of these components without having to stack any of them. The stand is remarkably sturdy, and looks very nice, at a very reasonable price. Only negative is that it does virtually nothing to conceal cords since it has an open back, but that's the tradeoff you make for a well ventilated stand. Definitely worth looking into if you need the abundance of space.

I purchased this TV for our bedroom and it performs very well for the price. I'm particularly impressed with the color reproduction of the set. The contrast levels are not great, but it's hard to expect much from a sub-$400 40" TV. If you're looking for a no frills, great value television, this set is it.

Completely customize your Wi-Fi Smart Color Thermostat to match your lifestyle and decor. The ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat lets you choose the temperature, schedule, display color and the devices you use to control it all.
Want to replace RTH230B with RTH9580WiFi. Wires connected:G, Y, W has(black wire), R(red wire), Rh(red wire). Also I see a white wire that is not connected to current rth230. How do I know which wire is used for the "c" terminal for the new rth9580WiFi?
Since they're not labeled at the thermostat terminal, you'll need to check at your furnace to see what's connected where. Having the extra wire is great, since you should be able to use that for your common.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
so i wanna get the pixel but with out getting a verizon contract how would i do so?
Your best option is probably to buy the phone directly from Google. The phone will come unlocked and will work as advertised with VZW and Project FI (meaning it should work well with Sprint and TMo).

How can you connect the Roku to my theater Amplifier 5.1 sound system?
If your amplifier has an HDMI input, you'll need to plug the stick directly into the amplifier vs. plugging into your TV. The stick doesn't have any external audio outputs.

The display shows it plugged into two places on the back of the tv. One is obviously the hdmi port, what is the other end plugged into?
The other cord is the USB cord, used to power the Roku.

can I download google play store and down load free games like I have on my cell phone?
No. This device does not run Android. If you want the ability to side load apps, you'll need to look at either a Fire device or one of the hundreds of Android based streaming boxes available.
