Fun family movie but eh...

It was worth the low lack Friday pricing, but probably not much more. This is definitely not the strongest of the series and a better rental than purchase if over $10z

Fun movie

Movie was fun to watch but the Jim Parsons dialogue can get old and irritating. I get he's supposed to be an alien with normal translation issues, but if you have small children they start mimicking his form of speech. I know, I know, it's just a movie...ok.
Adventure is good and the story slightly stirring but it's not going to be in your active rotation often as there are tons of other Pixar/Dreamworks flicks that are much more exciting. This falls into the lazy Sunday B movie category for me. Still worth a buy, but maybe the rental is a better idea.

Good but wish the hub could be wireless too.

Works as it says. It's pre-paired with the included lights so it makes setup simpler than when you have to add another. Hate that it requires a wired connection to your router/AP. It would be so bad except it uses one of the most common bands out there. Be sure to look for and play with different channels in your setup because this can make a big difference in how much interference you have to deal with. If they could make this wireless as well it would make placement and install cleaner and easier.

Great story and my daughter can't stop watching

Love this movie. There are a bunch of side artifacts that make the bluray interesting however it's no more than average. Story is a great development over the first and keeps you glowing all the way to the end. I have not met a single child who doesn't love this movie.

Excellent with a few hiccups

This router is excellent. The powered antennas are really the reason this stands out. Stretched my coverage over two stories with a odd staircase as the only penetration point and 3500sq ft+. I get 65-90Mb/s over wireless across the house on a 100Mb fiber source. This allowed me to remove the network extender I had at the top of the staircase -- keeps things much simpler (and less explaination to the technology-challenged). Get a few times when it doesn't connect automatically to my iOS devices, but just need to select it on the wifi list and it's back on. Lots of features but some remain in infancy.
Aggregate network streaming would be nice too once it's matured a bit more. For now it's a line item and not much more.
All in all I'd buy it just for the increased signal strength -- this helps not only range but signal integrity allowing for less signal disapation and higher speeds which are closer to the wired ethernet potential.
Setup is pretty straightforward and Netgear does a decent job of it as long -- but the net genie setup could stand to be tweaked (or at least it's instructions) so that you know you're doing the right thing up front. The actual Setup walkthru for the router is simple if you just need to get started.
Only drawback is that while they holes for wall mounting, these holes don't allow the router to be oriented so the AC and Ethernet cables can hang down naturally. So the ports point up and the cables have to bend (most routers are like this however and I've only seen one that corrected this).
Overall I'm very happy with it and would definitely recommend getting it if it's in your price range.

Good but real filth will still need steam cleaners

Works well for deep dirt, but for long term stains or dirt buildup will still need traditional stain treatment or steamcleaning.

Excellent center for all 6 series
on January 16, 2015
Posted by: jnaks
from HI
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a vast upgrade for my system and matches nicely with my earlier generation 683s. Much clearer than the first two versions of the HTM61/B and conceptually more sound. Ability to Bi-Amp interesting, though mostly unused for many, I'd imagine.
Only draw to this is the size. While this could easily handle even a plasma on top of it, because of the height, you will have to adjust the way you've been watching if you do so -- not recommended anyway. Or you have to get the "right" tv stand setup so you can maintain things. I'd be afraid to mount this above as this is MASSIVE (please look at dimensions before buying without seeing it in-store). So you really have to plan out your space. This isn't a FPM-style unit that you tuck in the wall (which, btw, doesn't match very well with the 6 series), so you will have a block that looks like half a 683/684 on its side. But when you look at what speakers and at what size, you'll easily understand the size. This is the no-compromise way of getting you a good center. Those with space concerns should go down to the HTM62 and learn to live with less -- or get a single 685 as some have (but looks odd). And if you ever start to upgrade along the B&W lines, you'll note how large the centers can be.
That said, the clarity of sound is great. And I would highly recommend even for those who are SACD multichannel fans. Really gives the 6 series the center channel it deserves, regardless of which generation you have.
Would be a 5 star if they magically found a way to make this same quality product smaller and cheaper.

Should work fine for most applications. Still uses its own USB dongle to connect which is somewhat cumbersome vs just connecting via bluetooth. I understand its the easiest way to guarantee compatibility, but it leaves you with one less slot, which is a valued commodity nowadays.

What accessories/extender go with my Netgear R6250? Having connection issues on other end of house, basement and CCTV set up.

I use a Nighthawk X8 but I get where that is overkill. But any of the Nighthawk series should pair nicely.
