Great solution to secure your network

The Norton Core Router
Let face it the home of the future is the connected home! What could go wrong? Well Dana Scully and Fox Mulder shore found out on one of the latest episodes of the X files!Check out season 7 Episode 11 (Rm9sbG93ZXJz)
IOT (Internet of Things) devices are popping up everywhere, Washers and Dryers, ovens, fireplaces thermostats, refrigerators, Vacuums, security systems, baby monitors to name a few. All these devices can be hacked leaving up to the device manufacturer to come up with a firmware fix. There are sophisticated firewalls and malware/virus protection for these devices but they are difficult to implement and administer for a home user. Sure you can make a virtual network and a hardware firewall with state-full packet inspection on your network but for the average home user this is beyond their abilities and the cost can be high.
The Norton Core Router can secure your network and has a simple on boarding app contained within a smartphone app. The App is simple to use but is a little quirky. It is not always clear when to push the next button, if in doubt push it. After the router updates and registers you are brought to a control panel.
It looks Cool!
Well someone finally made a router that your wife will let you put where it needs to be, In the middle of the house out in the open! This thing looks like an ultra modern piece of art or air freshener.
Even though this router looks great it still has all the ports you need. There are 4 gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 USB 3.0 ports along with a power port and button tucked away under the device. Norton even throws in a neat wire organizer to keep all the cords from tangling.

Beefy Hardware
This router has a dual core 1.7 GHz processor with 1GB RAM and $GB flash memory. The Antennas are a circular array beam-forming antenna. Unlike Omnidirectional antennas commonly found on home routers a beam-forming antenna can adjust to It’s environment. If there is a lot of use in one direction, the router will adjust the output to that area. This allows better signal where you need it. The Norton Core has 802.11ac wth MU-MIMO protocol allowing for up to 2,500 Mbps. It is really fast, I was surprised at the speed with my wireless devices, much faster than my other dual band wireless AC router a Netgear WRT3200ACM! It is dual band using 2.4 and 5 GHz. The router is backward compatible to N and G devices.
This router is packed with hardware security for your network including:
Security- DPI, IDS, IPS, Secure DNS, Encrypted user & data communication
Networking- WPA2, DHCP, NAT, UpnP and Automatic Device Discovery.
The Norton Core has network packet inspection and using their global threat database, Core can help stop threats cold. The Database is constantly updated to protect you from the latest threats.
Network Traffic Filtering:
The Norton Core router has easy to use setting via the smartphone app to keep your Kids protected from undesirable content. You can set up groups, associate devices to each person then select the types of sites you want them to be able to access. You will receive a notification if somebody tries to access something they shouldn’t.
You can also set bandwidth limits for each device if you have internet with bandwidth restrictions. It’s also handy if you’ve got one user who is a data hog!.. you know who you are!
You really do not need any other antivirus with the hardware antivirus in the Norton Core router which protects an unlimited number of your connected devices. You also get Software antivirus for up to 20 devices including computers and mobile devices.
Norton Core will also protect your connected devices like video doorbells, WiFi thermostats, smart locks, appliances, and home security cameras for suspicious activity. If a device becomes compromised, it quarantines the threat before it spreads
So a few possible negatives ( I actually think it is a great deal)
You have to buy a subscription after the included 1 year subscription runs out. The subscription will run you $9.99 a month. The company constantly keeps its security database updated for the latest threats. You actually get a great deal a hardware antivirus in the router for unlimited connected devices and software antivirus for 20 devices that works even when you are connected to other networks. Most people are not aware that most hardware firewalls have licenses that have to be renewed and good antivirus software for more than a few devices is much more expensive than this.
So who is this router for???
If you want a very easy way to secure your network and all of your devices without multiple pieces of hardware and software not to mention the tedious job of configuring everything so it works correctly then this is for you. If you want pinpoint control of every setting or need very specific settings then look else where.
If you have a large home or it is WiFi unfriendly you may have some dead spots, it may be possible to add a mesh router in bridge mode or and extender but I am not sure of the additional security risks in this configuration. Norton will probably design an extender for this system, putting additional devices that look like this would not be all that bad. This is something I would like to see developed.
I recommend this as an end to end security for your internet for the average home user. It is very easy to set up and has comprehensive monitoring tools that almost anyone can use.

24 hr battery life, great sound and Lights!

from Winterville, NC
The Sony XB41 is a Bluetooth and NFC enabled speaker with extended base and enhanced spacial sound. Sony has added a new DSP (Digital Signal Processor), angled speaker and Live sound mode for better 3 dimensional sound output. These speakers sound great ! The sony XB41 carries IP67 water resistance rating. Allowing the speaker to be used in environments they where they may be exposed to water, think pool, beach or on a boat. According to Sony the SRS-XB411 is rustproof even when exposed to salt water. The speaker is also dust proof making it great for camping or even the desert! The fabric covering looks great and is washable. There are 3 different colors available, white,red and black. The shape, size and weight makes them easy to carry to any party or gathering.
The sound and Base in these speakers is really out of control! While they are essentially the same speaker as their smaller brothers the SRS- SB21 and SRS SB31 the speaker (and driver) size are different (Sony SRS-XB21 employing a 42mm driver, the SRS-XB31 a 48mm driver and the SRS-XB41 a 58mm driver).
The SRS XB41 are capable of connecting with ‘Wireless Party Chain’ allowing up to 100 wireless speakers with Bluetooth, the music and lights sync-up so everyone dances to the same beat. This is compatible with Sony's other XB speakers with Bluetooth. This is a cool feature, I could get it to work seems like the feature in the android app has not been updated for these speakers and I got the speakers to manually pair by pressing the WPC button on the SBS41 then the WPC button on the SBS31. An additional SRS-SB41 party chain registered and all the the then everything works as expected. Sony will probably update the app and instructions for manually pairing the speakers soon. The feature is fun really expands the sound and could really wind up your party!
You can control the speaker from the the Sony Music Center app for android or iPhone. I had no problem installing it on my android smartphone or my wife's iPhone. You can select your favorite playlists, cue the next song and change lighting patterns and sound modes easily. You can stream from Pandora, google play or iTunes and many others. You can stream without the app also.
The XB4 1 speaker also comes with party lighting effects. They have line lights that glow in many colors and other lights that flash like a strobe. These can be set to frantic or calming patterns or turned off depending on the mood you are in. They built-in accelerometer which is used by their ‘Party Booster’ feature. It can detect tapping from different directions and generates a sound and lighting action. Tapping the speaker in different places makes different sounds like a scratch, snare, kick drum and cowbell. You can control the volume of the sound effect, gently for a soft or wack it for a loud. I had a lot of fun banging on the speaker while dancing!
The speaker has Stereo Mini Jack (IN), USB A Terminal (DC OUT only) maybe to use to connect to your phone as a battery?, micro USB (DC IN) for charging and wall power.
I have a lot of Bluetooth speakers, this is one of my favorites great sound without any worries about getting it wet or dirty!

The best Cleaning toothbrush I ever had!
on March 24, 2018
Posted by: Idoc
from Winterville, NC
The Phillips Sonicare 4100 toothbrush is an ultrasonic tooth cleaning device. This makes it more than an ordinary toothbrush.
The ultrasound vibrates the head to clean the surface and between the teeth including the gum line. You may have tried many other toothbrushes but none get your teeth this kind of clean except a professional cleaning at your dentist. I am not kidding, I have had several electric and manual brushes and none of them leave my teeth feeling like this.
The brush has a built in program guiding you through a 2 minute cycle, 30 seconds per side upper and lower. A pressure sensor that lets you know if you are brushing too hard by changing tone.
There is a built in program to increase the ultrasonic energy over the first few uses so you can get used to it if you have sensitive teeth otherwise you can bypass that by holding the power button on while it is on the charging stand and wait for the three tones hi, medium and low.
Since I started using this brush my teeth feel great, I don’t think I will ever try another brand. I plan on buying my wife one soon.

Best Portable DLP projector
on March 24, 2018
Posted by: Idoc
from Winterville, NC
The LG - PH30JG Minibeam DLP portable projector is fantastic for impromptu business presentations or family movie night at home or anywhere you have a projection screen or surface. The output is bright and has great color depth.
There are several inputs, HDMI, USB, USBC and Screen share with Miracast or WiDi. Note for newer android operating systems you will need a Chromecast for best performance. (there are apps in the app store that purport miracast functionality but I could not get any of them to work with this projector). I did not try but you may be able to power the Chomecast from the USB of the projector keeping it a portable solution.
The projector has 4 hours of battery life with a full charge. The bulb life is 30000 hours ie 8 hours a day for 10 years!
I tested this with my FireTv and a Chromecast dongle and my android tablet. Both tests gave great results with no lag at all. The projector has a built in speaker but for any serious viewing I recommend using the Bluetooth connection to a wireless speaker.
For any wired legacy equipment with composite output, VGA or even DVI you will need an adapter. You can also use a USB or USBC memory stick or even a HD (<500amps) and the my media player to view DivX®, MP3 or compatible Photo formats.
Strangely in the manual it lists the projector as supporting 1080p but recommends 720 p for best output.
The included remote is very good quality and allows easy access to all options.
If you want a small portable easy to set up projector for business or fun this is the one for you. It is ready to go in less than a minute and can be totally wireless if you have a compatible smart device or computer and a Bluetooth speaker for enhanced sound. This could be great for campsite or backyard or beach movies with the family.

The Insignia Voice Smart Bluetooth speaker has Google Assistant. It is Best Buys own Google Home equivalent with a clock built in! The Speaker has great sound. The microphone can pick up my voice commands even in noisy environments.
The soft blue green digits are not too bright to be annoying but bright enough to see in any light.
The google assistant can be set up from the google home app on an android or IOS device. You can also add family members as guests so it recognizes their preferences when a voice command is given.
You can stream music to the device through Bluetooth or let it play natively from the source you set up in the google home app. You can play news and other podcasts as well.
If you want privacy you can mute the microphone from a button on the back of the device.
There are hard volume keys on the top as well as the voice commands to control the volume.
The wifi connected without difficulty and has maintained a stable connection.
I am very pleased with this well built Speaker.

Beautiful and functional

The Honeywell Smart Color internet connected thermostat is a well designed device with an astetically pleasing and very user friendly user interface. You can choose a variety of colors for the led display to Match your decor. Programming is a breeze. You need to first set up an account with Honeywell. The guided setup will walk you through creating a schedule for your home, you can also choose manual mode. You will also be asked what type of system you have, usually this is not a problem unless you have a split combo unit like me! Mine is a heating pump with a gas pack for heat..hmm what works for that? Forced air! If I choose heat pump heat comes on when the themostat says cool. After you have the right settings the themostat works flawlessly. You will either have to install the thermostat yourself or have a heating and air tech do it. The installation is very easy. There are also videos on YouTube. You need to have a power wire, the "C" wire if you don't you will have to use one of many solution for this. Honeywell has support to help.
This themostat is internet connected there is an Android and iPhone app as well as an Alexa skill for remote control of the device. Voice control with your Amazon Alexa enabled device is cool! (That was a themostat pun) The device also shows the current indoor and outdoor temp and humidity on the home screen. I really like this it is a vast upgrade from our manual themostat and I no longer have to change the temp on waking and leaving my home with the added plus of being able to set the temp if I am coming home early from my smart phone.

The Epson EX 9210 is a Compact lightweight full featured professional business video projector. It has the brightness (3,400 lumens) nessesary to make a presentation in a lighted room. With it’s 3LCD DLP projection engine it produces vivid color in a 1080p+ WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200) format. It supports resizing output to 800 x 600 (SVGA), 1024 x 768 (XGA), 1152 x 864 (SXGA), 1280 x 800 (WXGA), 1280 x 960 (SXGA2), 1280 x 1024 (SXGA3), 1440 x 900 (WXGA+), 1400 x 1050 (SXGA+), 1600 x 900 (WXGA++), 1680 x 1050 (WSXGA+). This projector can produce up to a 300 inch image with 15,000:1 contrast and up to 1.07 billion colors. Inputs are Wireless, USB PC free, USB plug and play for audio and video (PC and Mac), HDMI, MHL, VGA, Composite video RCA and stereo audio RCA. There is a 2 W built in mono speaker or you can use Bluetooth (my preference) or wired speaker from your device. Bulb life is rated at 10,000 hours, and the replacement lamps are very inexpensive.
The projector comes with an Epson wireless dongle allowing you to send your presentation from an IOS, android or PC without wires. For mobile devices you can scan the QR code on the screen and it will set your wireless network properly for connection. I did have problems with my Google Fi phone connecting until I turned off the cellular data, after the connection was made I could turn it back on. My tablet and iphone connected without any problems. The presentation beamed wirelessly without any problems. Video will work wirelessly but at a very low bitrate. If you want high resolution 1080p video you are better off with the HDMI connection which worked flawlessly. The projector has manual correction for keystone and off center projection giving you a lot of flexibility in projector location while still achieving a great picture.
A great carrying case, full remote and HDMI, VGA and USB cable are included so you are good to go with any device.
I found this projector easy to carry and set up with it’s fabulous picture and brightness it is the best choice for professional presentations.

Great VR goggles light and comfortable
on October 16, 2017

from Winterville, NC
The MergeVR are virtual reality goggles based on Google cardboard. These goggles are lightweight and constructed of a foam material. The foam construction makes the goggles comfortable to wear and prevents light leaks. The optics in these goggles seem to be really good and create less distortion than my cheaper VR goggles. This is important if you are sensitive to VR allowing longer use. These goggles have selection buttons on the top for integrated actions in games and apps. You can use these goggles with any virtual reality application that supports Google cardboard. Merge has their own curated application site https://mergevr.com/miniverse where you can find many games educational apps and tours. Merge has an accessory called the Merge Cube for an augmented reality experience, this works well with these goggles and is really cool!
If you are looking for some good VR goggles for an affordable price these are a great choice.

Hey! I was wondering if this laptop had expandable memory capabilities and what the maximum is? Much appreciated!
Yes up to 32 mb, You have to be careful with module selection to achieve the top speed. There are two slots. Apparently according to other online reviews come with 2 4gb modules but others like mine came with 1 8gb module. You have to get the correct voltage and density modules to achieve 3200mhz otherwise the laptop will downclock them.

Can this scan and print photos?
You can scan photos but will have to print out on a printer. You may want to choose a high resolution flatbed for best results.

can i go to the stores to buy HP ink?
Yes, HP ink is available at many retailers. I personally use the Instant Ink program. If you print on a regular basis it is a great deal. My ink costs have gone way down and I never run out!

Can the ADF be used for multiple pages that need to be SCANNED ?
The Filtrete™ Maximum Under Sink Water Filtration System 3US-MAX-S01 is easy to install and maintain. It's an under sink water filtration system that connects to the kitchen or bath faucet.
Can a designated counter mounted faucet be used with this filter?
Yes you just need to install a dual outlet valve, they are available at many home supplies. I would suggest a valve that attaches to the existing one. If you replace the existing valve it is more involved you will need to turn off the home water supply, unscrew or desolder the old valve and put a new one on.

Can a designated counter mounted faucet be used with this filter?
Yes, you just have to install a split feed adapter to your water supply one will go to the faucet and one to the filter. The out of the filter goes to you separate faucet. You will have to purchase the splitter separately, there are several types just make sure the one you choose does not restrict flow in any way. Here is a youtube link for a video of an install of one type of valves. https://youtu.be/kNaVBHn1vGo.
