Easy Set-Up and Great Wi-Fi Coverage
on September 19, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
This is a great Wi-Fi solution for those that need improved coverage in their home or a network capable of handling faster speeds. My ISP (Internet Service Provider) originally installed their router in one corner on the first story of my 2 story home. That has prevented me from getting strong Wi-Fi signals throughout my home and especially on the 2nd floor. Netgear's Orbi to the rescue!
I installed the primary Orbi router in a more central location on my first floor, running an ethernet cable behind my couch to my ISP router. I then installed the Orbi satellite on the 2nd story of my home in a convenient location. Pairing the Orbi router and satellite was simple and painless.
Once I had the devices paired I connected my laptop and checked browsing speeds. Web pages loaded as fast as they ever have. I then ran speed tests in every corner of each story of my home and found that I was getting maximum speed everywhere. This set-up really accomplishes what it sets out to do.
One bonus for the Orbi is that both the router and the satellite have 3 ethernet ports that you can hardwire devices to if you prefer that over wireless. That has provided me with 3 ethernet ports in my upstairs loft that I never had before in case I wanted to connect a non-wireless printer to the network or some other useful device.
The speeds this unit is capable of are advertised at 3Gbps. I don't have a need for that fast of a speed yet, but if I needed to stream 4k content over Wi-Fi in the future, I am all set!
I highly recommend the Netgear Orbi for taking your home network to the next level.

Multi-Functional to Suit Any Need
on September 14, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
This is a handy device that is perfect for those that don't have a "smart" car with built in GPS and hands free features. It can do it all, from providing you turn by turn directions, to acting as a dash cam for filming your daily travels, to making hands free calls and text messages. I found it easy to import the contacts from my phone after pairing it over bluetooth.
There are two options to mount the device in your vehicle. It comes with a windshield mount or you can use an optional accessory that secures the tablet to your dash. I had some trouble aligning the glass mount perfectly due to the slope of my car's windshield, but eventually found an angle that worked. The mount is magnetic so it it is super easy to attach and detach the tablet for when you want to take it inside. Despite it being easy to attach and remove, it is still extremely stable and there is no worry of it falling off, which I was initially concerned with.
The unit comes with plenty of onboard storage (32GB) but you can add your own MicroSD card if you want to expand.
In summary, this device is well worth the price considering what is capable of. You can buy additional accessories if you would like to have a back-up cam connected or tire pressure monitors. Instead of buying a $15,000+ new car, this is a solid option to get the most of your current vehicle.

Decent 3rd Party Controller
on June 3, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
from Cibolo, TX
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my kids, hoping that it would be a sufficient controller for their purposes. They are young and would just be goofing off with some basic Xbox games so they didn't need one of the $60-70 high end controllers. This one suited those needs well. If it had the same comfort and precision as an official Xbox controller it would get 5 stars, but getting it on sale for less that half the cost as a regular controller is a great deal.

Great High-end Headphones
on June 2, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
This was the first set of Bose headphones I have ever used. I typically have not bought high-end electronics in the past but was thoroughly impressed with the quality difference and feel that these are well worth the extra cost.
What I liked:
- Great sound quality
- Noise canceling was fantastic
- A digital voice tells you the battery life when you turn them on
- Long battery life
- Can connect with Bluetooth or aux cable
- Comes with a nice, firm case to protect them when not in use
- They are lightweight and very comfortable

These headphones are well worth the extra cost from lesser known brands. You can't go wrong with Bose.

Solid Budget Tablet
on May 19, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
I have been using this tablet for the past 48 hours. I have previously owned a Nexus 7 (1st gen) and an 8" Asus Zenpad. I measured this device against my experiences with those tablets.
Pros:
Easy set-up. Was up and running and had the tablet updated with latest software within 10 minutes.
Affordable. If you are on a budget, this is a great choice if you are just looking for basic functionality.
Functional for most applications. I streamed content (Netflix, HBO Go) without a problem. Worked flawlessly.
I also used this tablet to stream content to my Chromecast. Worked great!

Cons:
Resolution is not great, but sufficient. If this is your first tablet you might not even notice.
I had trouble running my favorite tablet game, Plants vs Zombies 2. It couldn't seem to handle the processing power needed and the game slowed down.

Overall, for the price, I would not hesitate to buy this tablet. It's a terrific option for a budget minded consumer.

Will Enhance Your WiFi Range
on May 13, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
I connected this extender to my Linksys EA9500 Max-Stream AC5400. The router itself was plenty powerful to cover all 2300 square feet in my house, but with this extender I have added range throughout my back yard.
Set-up was extremely simple, using the WPS button on my router.If you have spotty WiFi in your home or are just looking to extend your range for any reason, this is a solid option.

Easy Set-Up - Great WiFi Coverage
on May 13, 2016
Posted by: jsisko76
Set-up for this router was extremely simple and instructions were clear. I hooked up the device to my ISP provided router, placed that router in DMZ plus mode, then connected to the Linksys router's default WiFi settings. You are then routed to a Linksys webpage that walks you through adjusting the WiFi settings so you can select your own network name and password.
I tested my WiFi speeds throughout the house with my ISP provided router, and then again after connecting to this Linksys router. The performance with the Linksys router was much better, providing me every single megabit of download speed that my ISP plan calls for, in every corner of my 2400 square foot house.
I would definitely recommend this device to others that are looking to upgrade their home WiFi Network.

Works Well for OTA Channels on the XBox

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to have in case of cable outages or if I decide to cut the cord in the future. Setup was easy and I was able to pick up all major networks with the help of a Mohu leaf antennae. I'm looking forward to the DVR functionality that Microsoft is adding to the XBox One.

Remove dirt and debris from carpet with this Shark Navigator upright vacuum. A detachable canister lets you empty the vacuum easily, and the included tools make cleaning upholstery or inside crevices easy. This Shark Navigator upright vacuum uses a HEPA filter to remove harmful allergens and micro particles for healthier air.
some item, such as a rag or something of that nature is jammed in the hose, close to the plastic handle and will not allow air to pass through, how do I dislodge it?
Coat hangers are your best option as they are firm, but malleable.

You are saying this device will increase AT&T u verse wifi speed?
It depends on a few factors.
-What is your Max download speed from your ISP?
-How many devices are sharing bandwidth in your home and what is it being used for?
-How large is your apartment/home and are their any environmental factors that impede your wireless signal?
With this being a Tri-band router you can certainly expect it to have improved range over your default ISP router. Increased speeds will depend on the answers to your questions above. If you are a Gigapower customer, then yes, this router will definitely improve your speeds.
