A Must Have for your Pixel Slate
on August 25, 2019
Posted by: Wishkid
from Florida
Unfortunately, this is not a cheap keyboard, the others sad part if you really want to make your Pixel Slate shine you need this. This keyboard will make your Slate looks and feel more like a laptop. The Keyboard has actual keys not touch keys, they also light up in the dark, it has a mouse pad and, those round keys can’t go unnoticed, typing on it actually felt really good!
This keyboard also acts as a protective cover, that protects the front and back of your slate when closed but, leaving 3 edges vulnerable if dropped on the side. In the center is the snap on connector that attach to your slate, and the magnetic back cover can be position in different angles by just sliding up and down.
If you used a Surface pro before this will feel very familiar, once the keyboard is attached the system automatically recognized it and the software adjust accordingly. The magnetic back can also be used to attach your pixel pen if you have one but, I found this to be very awkward. If you have a Pixel Slate this is a must have device, pricey but a must if you want to get the full potential of your device.

Excellent laptop Alternative
on August 25, 2019
Posted by: Wishkid

This is my first chrome OS device but I am not new to the Google echo system. This Slate is an impressive tablet it is light, thin, fells sturdy and very well made. Setting this baby up is simple sign in with your Gmail and follow the few other steps. The power button is an actual fingerprint reader which is pretty cool and works very well. This Slate comes with the Intel i5 processor, 8 GB of ram and 128 GB of storage, which is not something you will find in a regular tablet, this specs looks closer to the laptop realm. There is a USBC connector on each side of the table in which can be used for charging and the other you can connect the included headphone jack adapter.
My impression with the Chrome OS felt very familiar from Android OS, it was easy to use no rocket since needed. Apps ran exceptionally well with no crashes to report. Most of the daily google apps that I currently use “Gmail, Calendar, Chrome, Docs” were on point. Now I used this device to play one of my favorite games on a larger screen, it makes a big difference.
The display is very bright and clear, the colors were vivid and it was very responsive to the touch. Watching videos on it was very pleasing. With a great display you also get front firing speakers which sound exceptionally well. Finally, a tablet with sound that comes from the front and not the side. You are not only limited to watch your favorited videos on the device but you can also cast them to either GoogleTV, or Chromcast that are connected on the same network.
There are two 8mp cameras one on the front the other one in the back, I don’t see myself taking lots of picture with it as the device is too big for that in my opinion but, the quality of the picture is pretty good. The front facing camera is perfect for video calling, if you use Google Duo you will see yourself using it a lot on this device as you get quality video, and clear sound due to those front firing speakers.
What makes this tablet shine is when you attached the not included Google keyboard ($199) the tablet transforms into a laptop like device. The keyboard with rounded keys feels great to type and it can be lit in the dark, and it also has a mouse pad. The keyboard not only protect your device but you can actually sit it on your lap and use it like a laptop, not the best position to use it but it can be done. This review was typed using the Slate and Google Keyboard.
There also a pixel pen ($99) you can use with this device, I did try it and it works well and is very accurate, but I am not the type of artist person who will definitely use this. Now, if you need to sign documents digitally is much better signing with this pen than with your fingers. Two things I didn’t like about the pen is there’s not place to store it but on the magnetic back of the keyboard cover which make it a very awkward, and it does not have rechargeable battery.
Over all this is a great device competing in the laptop realm, it has great battery life, is portable, compatible with millions of apps, great for entertainment, and can also get the work done when paired with the not included keyboard. Some may not like the price ($999) and adding the keyboard ($199) will make it even higher, but in the other hand this is not an average tablet. If you’re in the Google echo system you don’t need to look any further you will love this device. All your Google apps running on a Google Os with Google hardware with no blot ware or third party add on, it can’t get better than that.

The Lights to Live up your Home
on July 6, 2019
Posted by: Wishkid
from Florida
These Nanoleaf Canvas lights are very cool addition to live up your room. These small squares are bright with vivid colors they are easy to setup and look beautiful. What makes this light really cool is how they can react to the touch, music or actually any sound. In the box it comes with 9 square lights, link tabs, power supply, instruction manual, and the double side tapes. Setting them up is pretty easy, I think the hard thing will be choosing the right layout and that’s because they have to be taped to the wall. At the beginning you can make rearrangement and they come off easy but in the long term I doubt it, the good thing double side tape is easy to get.
In the instruction manual they have few layouts you can choose from but using the app will be much useful, or you can try your own creation. One good advice is to think ahead, because this kit only come with 9 tiles so you kind of limited, but you can start by creating something that you can continue to add in the future without having to take them off and rearrange.
You can control the lights with the main square tile that is connected to the power or you can use the app which it has most of the features to make the best out of the lights. The Canvas also work with Google home, Apple Homekit and Alexa so you can control them with your voice as well. I was surprised to find out that you can also play game such as “whack a mole” and others, I don’t see my self doing this but I have to keep my kids away from them now.

These lights are pretty bright and will be hard not to notice them even in bright rooms. One thing that kind of bummed me was the fact that each tile is limited to 1 color at a time, I wish they could display multiple colors in a tile like the LIFX Tiles. Another great thing about these panel is they are not very thick so they will not protrude much from the wall making a clean look.
Now days smart lighting has become a thing, and these beautiful smart lights will be great addition to any home, office, or gaming rooms. Overall if you plan to decorate your walls with lights the Canvas smart kit is a way to start, one thing to keep in mind is that adding more panels will get quite expensive overtime besides that I am very happy with them.

Record your experiences on the road with this Nextbase dash cam. A wide-angle lens captures every detail, ensuring you are covered at all times, and the 2.5-inch LCD screen allows for comfortable viewing when reviewing videos. This Nextbase dash cam connects with smart devices via Wi-Fi and and Bluetooth 4.2, letting you review video footage on your device.
Posted by: Wishkid

I always wanted a dashcam now finally got one and a pretty darn good one. In the box I came with camera, USB charging cable, vehicle lighter charger, mount and manual. Setup was simple, you need to download the dedicated Nextbase Connect app from either iOS or Play store. You will need an SD card to record videos and get the cam working, sadly the SD card is not included in the package.
The camera is loaded with tons of feature from GPS to SOS, Park mode and, the ability to add a rear view camera. The cam records on 720P(30/60 FPS) and 1080p (30/60 FPS), and the video quality are really good. The camera has a 2.5 inch touch display where you can watch the videos and access cam menus. You can also view the videos on your phone using BT connection, but I did encounter bit connectivity issues between the phone and the cam, that can easily be fix with software updates.
The app for the mobile phone is easy to use but I rather connect the cam to my laptop using the USB cable it works much better. In the app you can view coordinates and travel speed which is pretty cool. The video are recorded with sound and the mic on the cam pick up the sound amazingly good. The camera has a small foot print which makes it practically unnoticeable next to the rear view mirror. Overall this an outstanding camera with tons of feature at a good price point.

When spills happen, the Braava jet m6 robot is always on call—ready to head to the spot and take them on. Just say to Google Assistant or Alexa, “Have Braava mop in front of the kitchen counter”, and it heads out and gets to work. Always learning your home and your cleaning habits, it can offer customized schedules that work around your life—even suggesting extra cleanings during pollen season. Using Precision Jet Spray, it loosens dirt and sticky messes without spraying furniture, rugs, or walls—all without any effort from you, making your mopping tasks a thing of the past. *(Alexa and all related logos are trademarks of Amazon.com or its affiliates.

First off, this Robo Braava Jet is really nice looking, I like that white in black color with silver accent. The Robot arrived very well packed with in two boxes of layer of protection. I do own an iRobot but his is my first Mop robot so I had to read the instructions to set it up. I initially though the setup was going to be a little difficult but the instructions were very easy to understand so it took less than 15 min including downloading the app, by the way the app will recognized other iRobots connected to the same network. The box included all the necessary materials for you to start using your Robot mop right away. Linking the robot to the app was also a breeze, it will be recognized it right away.
In the box it includes the robot, the charging station, drip base, bottle of cleaning solution, 4 cleaning pads, 2 dry, 2 wet, and the instructions manual. On the center hood of the robot you have the water dispenser, the solution included will be good for 2 rounds as you have to pour half of the bottle per moping cycle. It is very good to know that you can use washable mopping pads, because the 4 included will get dirty real quick, they will probably will be good maybe for 2 rounds each depending how dirty your floor gets.
First thing I did was to train the robot, it does have this nice feature that will map your house so later on it will know where to go. The robot it self when is on is very quiet when moving around and, it suddenly stops to spray the spot is going to mop. After it finish its first run I couldn’t believe it actually work after I saw how dirty the cloth was. Definitely I am very happy with it and how it works, but in my opinion, it will work best on flat surface floors without texture like mine, and that’s because dirt and grim could get inside where the flat pad wont reach.
The app is very easy to use, it will tell you the cleaning history, the map, setup cleaning schedule, maintenance, change the mopping behavior, or even start the device. This will definitely will keep someone’s place real clean where there’s no kids and high walking traffic, but it will ease up some of the cleaning for the rest of us. Overall excellent tool to keep your house clean specially if double team with another cleaning robot.

Elevate your home entertainment experience with this Samsung 7.1.4-channel soundbar system. Wi-Fi functionality enables remote control via a virtual assistant, and the wireless subwoofer and rear speakers combine to deliver an immersive audio experience. This 510W Samsung 7.1.4-channel soundbar system features Bluetooth connectivity for wireless media streaming from compatible devices.
Posted by: Wishkid
from Florida
Upon opening the box, I noticed the contents were packed tight and well. The first thing I removed was the sound bar which was pretty heavy and long in width but manufactured of high quality. I then proceeded to remove the subwoofer which was not too heavy but also well built. The rear speaker also built of high quality and, have some weight on them. As these speakers are wireless there is only a power input and no connection for speaker wires.
I couldn’t believe how easy the setup was. Once I connected all the speakers to the power, I had to press a sync button located behind them, and once the blue light stays solid the sync process is completed. This took a total of one minute for all the speakers. Once the system was setup, I tested the system with some music from Spotify. The music only played from the sound bar and the subwoofer which was expected as there was no need for the rear speakers for music. The sound quality was rich and full which is expected of Harmon / Kardon. It was very pleasing to hear how good this system sounded being that it was wireless.
I decided to play an animated movie (Transylvania 3) because it offers Dolby Atmos. From the introduction of the movie to include the introductory credits I was impressed. I really felt like I was in a movie theater when really I was just in my living room. The sound effects were great. My daughter was watching the movie with me and I saw her looking around the room when the Dolby Atmos was active. I also watch the Secret Life of pets and was also impressed with all the sound effects coming from all speakers. What is also a big surprised is how loud the system is while the volume is set to 35. Keep in mind that the maximum volume is 100. Also keep in mind that the Bass was not adjusted this is all standard presets with adaptive sound.
Another great feature that I notice was the adaptive sound, with my previous 2.1 home theater system I had trouble listening to speech when people talked in movies but with this sound bar it really is clear where I no longer need closed captions.
I downloaded the smart things applications to connect the sound bar to wifi. The wifi is useful to cast music from select applications like Spotify and Tunein Radio. Bluetooth is also available for those devices that do not have applications or if it is a preferred method. This system also works with Amazon Alexa but unfortunately, I don’t have Alexa. I wish in the future they can do a software upgrade to include Google Assistant which I currently use.
The only big disappointed that I have is that it only has two 4K HDMI passthrough inputs being at this price point. Overall this is a great system for an average price compare to other high end soundbars in its class and, is one of the only few soundbars that offers 7.1.4 with rear speakers. This sound bar also supports most of the modern sound format such as Dolby Atmos and, DTS:X. Watching movies with Dolby Atmos you really feel submerged with the sounds coming from all around. In the box it comes with the soundbar,subwoofer, two satellite speakers, manual, remote, power cables and wall brackets if you wish to mount them.

Great Smartlock with Phisical Key option
on May 26, 2019
Posted by: Wishkid
from Florida
Yale Assure Lock Touchscreen, is a very nice looking deadbolt and well built. The installation took about 35 min and that’s because I was having issues with the app after setting the master code. Even if you installed deadbolt before I’ll suggest to read the instructions which are easy to understand. In the box it comes with all the necessary parts to be install except the tools, all you need is two Philips screwdrivers and you are set. Once installed and the wireless receiver connected you need to use the August Home to set it up.
The locking function work beautifully and does not make lot of noise. To wake up the touch pad you have to tap the lower left corner where the checkmark is located. The app is easy to use and will display if the lock is open or close. One thing I notice when opening the August app it takes few seconds to connect to the lock to show the status. I am not sure is that a feature use to save battery on the lock by outing the wireless receiver to sleep, but is a little annoying as you don’t get the status right away. There were few times that I had to tap on the reconnect because it didn’t connect to the lock on the first try.
The auto unlock feature will unlock your door when you arrive at your house, you will also start getting notification before you even get there, I use that feature using an android phone. I do like the virtual keys, is a very useful feature and the best part they can be customized with date and time. The activity log will keep track of your lock activity, another good feature, you can also set up alerts. The lock can be setup with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple Homekit.
Overall, this is a great smart lock but not perfect, it very well built and it looks awesome on the door. This lock is not only smart but you have the option to use a physical key, wish they had the smart key system Kiwset has where you can use your existing key. In the box it comes with the deadbolt two pieces and necessary parts, August Connect receiver, bridge, door sensor, a set of 2 keys, and 4 AA batteries.

Excellent Budget 4K TV with Dolby Vision
on April 21, 2019
Posted by: Wishkid
from Florida
This TV is noticeably lightweight, and minimal setup is need to get you started. The TV comes with 4 HDMI inputs and 2 USB ports. Once I powered on the TV, a setup screen came on which was very easy to follow. With questions like WiFi username and password and permissions to use the Google assistant microphone. There was also a software update upon logging in to WiFi. Upon completion of the setup, I was met with a home screen that offered the Google play store which was very exciting to have my first TV with Android TV built in. I currently use Google Home products which worked seamlessly thanks to the Android TV and the built in Chromecast.
The design is very modern with an almost frameless look, it looks gorgeous in my living room. I am currently using the TV with the included stands that do not take away from the screen. In the future I plan to mount it on the wall. The first app I used was Netflix, and immediately noticed a great quality picture. The colors were rich, although the blacks were not always true black, they certainly did looked different than my previous LCD. One good thing to mention is that I did not notice any light bleeding. While using Netflix I thought I was already viewing 4K quality but it was in fact only HD quality. To think that HD had such great quality, I instantly notice the difference in the 4K library. What a huge difference in quality, it was truly a beautiful picture to see.
I highly recommend the Netflix original Planet to really bring out the capability of any 4K TV. I also downloaded the HBO Now app and although HBO does not offer 4K yet, watching Game of Thrones in HD on this TV was quite an experience. Such great detail and beautiful colors. I also paid close attention to watching the TV at different angles and saw that there was no major change in picture quality. The only con that I saw was the glare you get when any reflection of light is on the TV. I really had to close the window shades to not get distracted by the sunlight reflected on the TV. Another great feature this TV has is that it automatically renders video in Dolby Vision, if available. Netflix offers many Dolby Vision quality shows where I can see the difference in the picture colors.
The built in speakers are pretty loud as I only took it up to 21 out of the Max. I connected this TV to my Bose two speaker sound system using the digital audio output. There was one instance when I was not getting any sound from my system. I ended going to the sound settings menu on the TV and switched the sound from standard to Dolby Digital and it fix the problem.
The remote control is also a plus as it has a built in google assistant. I used the remote to bring my Nest camera feed on the TV. I also used the google assistant in the remote to control my Phillips Hue lighting which was awesome. The quick buttons for apps like Netflix or Vudu are convenient as the TV is very responsive and loads fairly quick. I also used my Google home to bring up YouTube videos and shows. I was impressed with the quick response of the TV to bring up the app. It really had minimal loading time.
Overall, this is an excellent TV for an excellent price and it comes with Dolby Vision. I love that it offers such a huge selection of applications to download. The Google integration is something that I could not see myself going without, and the quick response of the application loading is a plus.

Excellent Portable Party Speaker
on April 17, 2019
Posted by: Wishkid
from Florida
Upon receiving the Sony SRS-XB32, right away you notice that it is very well packaged. After getting a hold of the speaker from inside the box it really feels of great built quality. It’s no wonder that the speaker is Waterproof and Dust proof. In addition, the speaker is salt water resistant, which if you go to the beach often like myself, it’s pleasing to know that salt will not damage or deteriorate the outer speaker casing.
Once I turned on the speaker it instantly makes the Bluetooth discoverable. Connecting the speaker with my smart phone via Bluetooth was a breeze, you can also connect it using the NFC. I was quite impressed that such a small speaker produced great quality sounds even at the highest volume setting. What is very noticeable is the Live sound feature that creates a three dimensional sound. It really does create a wider field of sound, which comes to good use with large crowd. The bass was not the greatest I expected more but, for a small water proof speaker such as this one it was feasible.
The speaker comes with a feature called Party Booster where, once enabled, you can tap the speaker to create sound effects and also different light effects. I personally did not find the feature useful as I thought that I would end up damaging the speaker in the long run. The speaker has standard colorful lights, which can be turned on and off, that are pretty cool if you use the speaker in a night setting. Using the Fiestable app you can control the light by changing the colors using your smart phone. The app itself is simple to use but, is kind of pointless that you have to hold down on the color to keep the speaker lit up, once you let go the light will turn off, hope this gets changed with an update. Another cool feature is to see the lights react to the current genre/beat of the current music playing.
This speaker can also be connected up to 100 other Sony speakers, or you can get a pair of these and make it a stereo. Behind the speaker under a closed cover you have a USB A connector that is used to charge other devises and a micro USB to charge the speaker, I honestly don’t know why they didn’t use USBC instead which can charge at faster rate. There is also a 3.5mm stereo jack for audio input. On the top of the speaker you have the control buttons, there you can power on speaker, pause/play, Live sound and control the volume.
Very important feature of the speaker is the battery power which is rated to last 24 hours with the lights off. This is very relieving to know that you don’t have to worry about charging it while at an extended pool party, BBQ gathering or just hanging out. If you are worried of your cell phone or other battery powered accessory running low on juice, no problem just plug it to the speaker, be advise that, doing that it will deplete the speaker battery power. Overall is a great product and great built quality with excellent sound, I would definitely recommend it. In the box it comes with the speaker, manual and USB cable, unfortunately it does not include a brick but you can use your phone charger.

Your outdoor Party Speaker
on April 15, 2019
Posted by: Wishkid
from Florida
From the moment I picked this box I notice how really light the box was to include the packaging. The speaker was very well packed, and I notice how well protected it was but then again that is expected from Sony. Upon powering up the speaker, I held the Demo button to see what it was capable of. I was pretty impressed with the sound but, a little let down on the low frequency (Bass). Upon opening the top portion to reveal 4 cup holders and a splash proof pad. When I opened up the top, the sound paused, and then continued playing, it seems that’s when the signal processor kicked in, you can notice the sound difference from the external tweeters they get a bit louder. The sound was actually crystal clear when in party mode (top open). When the upper portion is closed the sound actually becomes more like direct firing focusing on one direction, while open the tweeters up fire creating a more surround like sound.
If you have a clumsy friend the top is also rated splash proof which is great but I really don’t want to test it to find out. The battery on the speaker claim to last about 13 hours if used at vol level 25 which is halfway, I used it at the beach at full blast it gave me a little over 6 hours. I am pretty sure that is one of the aux connections is used you may get more juice out the battery since you don’t have to use the BT connection, but I didn’t test that. It’s really pleasing to know that you have that much battery power available. Some additional features also include a microphone plug in to do sing along or karaoke with your phone as a guide. I don’t have a microphone to test this out but I do plan to get one because who doesn’t love Karaoke! The speaker also features a key changer for those who may need that to adjust their voice tone while singing.
I have only used the speaker with Bluetooth but I really appreciate the option of an auxiliary input and RCA inputs for other devices that may not have Bluetooth. There is a USB connection which you can use to play music files direct from USB source, including your phone, it can also be used for charging as well. There is an FM Tuner built in which I don’t use that often but I can think of finding use for it during a power outage due to an emergency such as a natural disaster like hurricanes since I live in Florida. The LCD screen location on the upper portion of the speaker will display the volume level, battery level, connect devices, and inputs it will not display current track playing ☹. You also get audible notifications of the battery level.
The speaker is about 14Lbs but when carry around using the side handles the weight is evenly managed you don’t feel it. By the way this speaker can be also mounted on a tripod. Overall this a great speaker with great sound for outdoor parties, gatherings, picnics or just hanging out at the beach, and the best part without breaking the bank, now days a lot of BT speakers will fall within the same price range and without many of the features this one has.

Motorola support said it's a known issue and an update is coming soon, but if they didn't catch this in testing it makes me worry about what else they missed. Researching online it seems this issue may only affect models Best Buy carries. Android has some great features but for a tablet that on paper is so much more powerful than an iPad I'd expect to be able to scroll down a page without jitters. The screen feels/looks inferior to iPad, in my opinion. Whites colors have a nasty yellow tint.

After spending $200 on a router you would expect a great working device, sadly to say that hasn't been my experience with this device. It is constantly dropping wireless connection and that was the main reason I ditched my old one.
I went through tech support trying to see if they even had a clue as to what could be wrong, but all they would offer was a reset, launch the router in rescue mode, upload latest firmware. This equals to the same poor results. I replied back telling them I have the same issues and they simply say (and I quote) " Your information has been documented and forwarded to the appropriate contacts for further review and improvement. " Meanwhile I'm left with a 200 dollar brick.
I'm going to exchange it for another one hoping I have a defective device.

Sam313, i had the same issue with previous routers, this might help, is you have a wireless home phone 5.GHz make sure they are wireless router friendly, those phone tends to interfere with the signal and dropped your router connection hope this might help it work for me after i replaced the phone.

I was very skeptical about this router even though after much research since Asus was not actually a router builder. I have owned this device for about 3 month and it has prevailed very well after the few hiccups at the beginning. First thing first if you buy this router make sure you update the firmware, that was one of the main issues I had in the begging after setup, some of my connections were dropping and that’s due to faulty firmware, I even though about returning it. After upgrading the firmware it took two of them, and the issue was gone. Second if your familiar with router setup use the advance setup not the wizard, I tried that and it was a pain in *** I could not get connected to the internet no matter what, so I end up resetting the router and do it the old fashion way advance mode, after that no issues. Another thing other has mention this router does get hot you don’t need to touch after setting it up but is something to mention since I experience it when removing some of the hard drive I have connect it to it.
Pros: Range is excellent this was one of the reason I replace my old Linksys E4200. Internet speed and routing are a pro I finally getting HD with no lag streaming two Xbox at the same time. I have over 18 devices connected to this router I it performed like a champ no wonders it cost so much. Cloud service easy to setup and you can access from any were including your phone. The two USB are a PLUS hook up two TB hard drives and your set, no need to store on your device and they are easily accessible. DNLA some people claim is not support it they are wrong, I have use it and it works very well specially if you have android phones and like to stream you can use your router DNLA to do that. Also this router looks bad ** it looks like it was made out of carbon fiber and the Status lights of the front are a plus you can easily know what’s connected and working and what’s not.
The Router Admin setup screen is not the best but not either the worst, there are pros a cons to it, one of the best thing you can see what’s going on in the main page such as clients connected it, USB, cloud, and so on. One thing I personally don’t like is that to setup 2.5 and 5 GHz you have to toggle between the two is not big deal but they could of make it simple to do it in one location. Another thing that is missing is the ability to hide guest SSID if there is an option I have not found it. Also you cannot rename clients connected to it, that’s something I really missed from the Linksys I could rename the client so I could easily identify what was connected to the router. Everything else such as setup a cloud service was very simple. Some more network knowledgeable people can take advantage of the advance power options this router has such as the QoS traffic management and other.
Overall this router does what it is intend to do, it cost a lot but you get what you paid for, and if you do research on this router will still come up as one of the best when it comes to performance. I highly recommended, and I’m very happy with my purchase.

Update 4/16/2013
April 16, 2013
After I left my initial review few days later Router went bad, I honestly don't know what cause it. The router was not connecting to the web even though it was connect it to the modem, when browse internet could not find page after few refresh it work then it goes bad again, it happened wireless and also hardwire I performed some troubleshooting and firm updates but no luck. I would really recommend if you going to spend the money on this router you may want to purchase the warranty service from Best Buy it will save you any hassle in the future since you can take it to the store and get a new one. I received an RMA within 24hrs that wasn't so bad, the worst is that you have to send the router to them and pay for the shipping one way, they well send it back to you after repair and ground service I send it air 3 days service, that's awful service after speeding so much on this router. Any way RMA will take approx. 3 weeks according to them so if this router is your primary you will be out of luck, luckily my modem support WIFI. This comment will not by any means regret my purchase is an electronic device and they can go bad, this just an update since I cannot over write my initial review, I learn my lesson next time if you going to spend a lot of money on high end device pay the extra cash on BB warranty, you may not use it but look my situation now I have to wait 3 weeks to get a replacement, the router went bad approx. 3 month after purchased seen similar to other negative reviewers. But overall the router does what it supposed to do when is working. Knock one Star out for the awful warranty support, so it will be 4/5 stars.

Finally received my router yes it took long time. Let me start by giving this router 5* stars and here is the reason why: Today 5/14/13 I received a new router not a refurbish but a new router in the box with everything. When I hooked it up guess what same issue started again so now in really convince is not the router nor the Modem. I was trouble shooting this thing for almost 5 hours until finally got the solution. If you have Comcast and you have the triple play you may received a modem Arris TG862 which act as a modem and wireless router. That being said, make sure you are using a Ethernet cable Cat5e( included with the Asus router) minimum Cat6 better, that will enable the T1000 connection between your router and the modem but that was not the problem. The whole problem was with the ISP all along the TG862 modem act as a router so when you connect your Asus router to that modem it will start having issues obtaining DHCP address. That's why it was dropping my internet connection because it was dropping the WAN because it could not renew or obtain that DHCP address. How did it notice going into the Asus router Log screen you will see many times WAN connection stopped then try to re-start. How to fix that call Comcast and tell them to turn the routing feature OFF from the modem and turn it into BRIDGE mode. That will let the Asus router to the routing and will fix that connectivity problem hope this help others in the future.

I seen the 4K picture in store and it looked awesome. But when I got the TV home and seen the screen in regular 1080 resolution I regretted it immediately. My friend bought the Samsung 65" 1080P 240hz the same day for $2500 cheaper and his picture and features are a lot better in my mind. I actually think my TV I replaced with this (samsung 58" plasma) had a better picture also. Disappointed!

This is my 6th Sony television and the best yet! This TV is an upgrade from my Sony 60" 1080p set. I love being on the cutting edge of television technology! Easy to set up and more apps than you will ever need. I also pre-ordered the 4k player. Hopefully it comes soon. The picture is astonishing! The 3D is unbelievable. What precise 3D should be. So much better than with absolutely no shadowing. Watching Avatar, the little flying creatures look like they are in your room. So much so, that you are truly tempted to reach out and grab one. I compared this tv with several others and Sony has the best picture, features, etc. Best Buy makes you comment using a minimum of 50 characters. Let me just sum it up with one word "WOW"!

3 out of 5Great features but dark scene performance kills it
By ErickRPG
I purchased a 75" because I wanted to upgrade when my 70" panel failed. The bright scene performance is amazing, even on 1080p blu rays. But because of the IPS edge lit panel when it is a dark scene the bad contrast ratio really shows. Lots of grey and it's very dull and washed out. I had read that this TV was slightly better in all ways than my LG 70LB7100. But to be honest with you, I think the 3D in this set is actually not as good as my old 1080p LG. And I think the blacks were even just a tad bit better on the older TV. When I say 3D it just feels as if the 3D does not pop out as impressively as the old set. There is no crosstalk. I ended up sacrificing screen size and went with the 65" OLED because black level performance on this set is horrid.

My husband bought me the Apple air buds and they are too big to fit in my ear. Are the Belkin earbuds smaller than Apple’s air Buds?
They are smaller and more comfortable than regular airpods. these kind of resembles the airpod pro and work in the same manner in which you have to plug them in the ear. it comes with different size foams that you can use to adjust the right size.
