Great, affordable mid-tier cable modem

Verified Purchase:Yes
Needed a new cable modem to take advantage of a speed boost by my ISP. Had considered paying a lot more for a DOCSIS 3.1 modem, but based on some great advice by Best Buy staff, figured out that this 32 channel DOCSIS 3.0 one would meet my needs for a few years, thereby getting me a great return on investment (vs. renting from my ISP). Been using it for almost a month now and have had no problems.

Horrible. Stay away!

I tried using three of these plugs in my house for a full month before I gave up and returned them. They stopped connecting to my WiFi network one day so I had to figure out how to get them going again. After about a week, it happened again, this time affecting only one of the three. I removed them from the network, did a factory reset and then attempted to get them reconnected. Wouldn’t work. I tried everything, including deleting my Insignia app and reinstalling it from scratch. Still wouldn’t work! So I returned them and switched to the more expensive Belkin Wemo smart plugs. Two months in and I have had zero problems with the Wemo system. Do not waste your time on money with these Insignia plugs!

Mac mini now has fourth-generation Intel Core processors, increased graphics performance, and ultrafast 802.11ac wireless networking. It also features two Thunderbolt 2 ports, great built-in apps, and OS X Yosemite. And it's still the world's most power-efficient desktop.

Mac Mini is perfect for the average household

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this 2014 version of the Mac Mini to replace an older one that is no longer capable of receiving updates to macOS. Despite the fact this is 3 years old, it still performs most common functions -- web browsing, photo editing, light video editing, music playback -- at a respectable clip. It's been upgraded to macOS High Sierra and it did not slow down the Mac at all. I look forward to at least 5 years of solid use from this Mac!

Simple solution, less expensive = Win

It's always great to find a less expensive but still high-quality alternative to Apple's cables. The Insignia Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to DVI cable adapter is no different than Apple's product, but it's 20% less expensive. I believe this product will last as long as I need it to.

Significant improvement over previous Jaybirds
on July 19, 2017
Posted by: Roadrunner505
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought the Jaybird X3's because I wanted a water resistant pair of earphones like my Jaybird Bluebirds. The Bluebirds never fit wel in my ears but these X3's are an excellent fit, although it did take a lot of experimentation with the various sizes of bud covers and wings to get something that felt right. They are lighter and the battery lasts much longer. The sound is great -- as good as you'll get from earbuds. Definitely recommend these. I'm giving a 4 out of 5 because I still think that Jaybird can do better.

Anyone else had problems installing Smart Plug, after update to the Insignia Connect appt? I easily and successfully installed 1 before the update, and now I can't complete the install on 2 addn'l ones. Can't connect to home network, even though they are

I had a similar issue. Return this product and do not exchange for another Insignia. Instead go for the Belkin Wemo plugs. More expensive but after two months with them, completely reliable!

I have nothing but problems with these devices. I keep getting device off line errors. I have a solid signal and none of my other wireless devices go off line so I know that is not it. The lights sometimes blink sometimes no. not isolated to one unit.

I had the same issue. I gave up and returned them. Now using the Belkin Wemo smart plugs and have had zero issues with them. Return your Insignias if you still can!

My plug had been working fine for months. My phone updated to IOS 11 and now the plug does not work. I have deleted the app and reinstalled, reset the plug over 20 times and still can not get it to add back to the app. Can someone please help me?

I was already on iOS 11 when I installed mine. They worked for about 3 weeks and then they failed. I don’t think it has anything to do with iOS 11.

Are any cords included with the Apple Mac Mini

The only cord that comes in the box is a power cable. In my experience, I found it necessary to purchase a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter cable to connect my HP 23" monitor to the Mac Mini via DVI cable. I use Apple's Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse accessories. To set up the Mac, it is handy to have a USB connected keyboard.

What interfaces are provided? i.e.: USB hdmi ega ethernet

It has four USB 3 ports, two Thunderbolt 2 ports, one HDMI port and 1 ethernet port. It also has a SDXC card slot. Perfect amount in my book!
