Great Product that really is rock solid
on September 22, 2016
Posted by: jago
Let me start off by saying that I am extremely happy with this product. I was having some serious connection issues between my Tivo Bolt and my Tivo Mini. They would lose connection with each other multiple times a day, requiring a restart of the router and the Linksys RE7000 range extender that I was using. The Bolt was plugged into the ethernet port on the RE7000 and the Tivo Mini was plugged directly into the router. *NOTE: Tivo doesn't recommend or support this type of set up, but wiring my house with Ethernet or setting up the MoCA network were not options. Anyways, I hooked up the ORBI and the only change I made was plugging the Tivo Bolt into the satellite Orbi and after a week, I have had no connection issues. The link between the Orbi units has been rock solid. I am VERY pleased!
SETUP: I found the setup to be pretty straight forward. I first tried to use my Samsung Note7 to initiate the configuration, but the mobile web browser was not liking things, but once I switched to my laptop, it was smooth and easy to set up. There wasn't an app to use, but I used the web link that was provided in the paperwork.
I would highly recommend this to anyone that is looking for a solution for a large house. The wifi coverage is great as well. I am getting a strong signal all through my 2500 sq ft house and all through the .33 acre of land that my property resides on.
Update: received an email today from them with this new information:
1. As detailed on the box, login to http://orbilogin.com for setup instructions
2. Use the NETGEAR genie app to control your network (diagnose and repair issues, setup parental controls & more)
3. Guest networks will be coming by the end of 2016

Easy setup, and lots of functionality
on July 18, 2016
Posted by: jago
I have been using this product for a few weeks now and my overall impression is good for this unit. The setup was easy and pretty painless. I was able to connect it to my home wifi router with ease and the linksys web app has a tool that will help you locate the dead spots in your home and find the optimal location for this range extender.
The bad, I have experienced a few random outages with this unit and slow downs. I have not been able to tell for sure if it was my main router, my cable modem, or the unit itself though. Rebooting everything usually fixes most problems. However, when I am getting a slowdown, I have just unplugged the range extender and plugged it back in after a few seconds. Once it finishes its rebooting cycle, things are back to normal.

You really can't go wrong with this range extender, I really like the Ethernet plug that it has built in as well.

Refreshed and ready to take its rightful spot atop a new generation of consoles, the Turtle Beach® Stealth™ 600 Gen 2 is the successor to the best-selling wireless gaming headset for PS5™, PS4™ & PS4™ Pro. The Stealth™ 600 Gen 2 wireless gaming headset is enhanced with a host of upgrades, including a larger high-sensitivity flip-to-mute mic that delivers improved chat clarity and now seamlessly integrates into the headset when muted. The headband and hinge design have been reinforced for added long-term durability, and soft, glasses-friendly ear cushions provide plush comfort while refined 50mm speakers produce high-quality, immersive sound and are optimized to unleash the power of Sony 3D Audio on PS5™. A user-friendly audio preset button on the headset allows for easy access to customize audio, and gamers can still count on Turtle Beach’s Superhuman Hearing® for an audio advantage on the battlefield. Finally, connectivity is made easy with the included, mini-USB Transmitter that wirelessly connects from your PlayStation® console to headset.
How is the mic monitoring? Is it loud enough? The gen 1’s had pretty quiet mic monitoring, did they improve upon that or is it the same?
the mic monitoring seems very sensitive and you can adjust it with a separate volume. You can crank it down to pretty loud.

Power disturbances can cause equipment damage and lessen your electronic devices lifespan.During power disturbances, you also risk losing connection to your critical devices. Ensure you keep connected to what matters the most with APC Back-UPS.
What replacement battery does the UPS take?
the battery is non-user replaceable. I am sure you can crack it open and replace it, but its not like the old units that had a removable cover to replace the battery.

Does this work for Xbox? The older version did
It only works with using the 3.5mm cable, not using the USB dongle, so you won't get the added benefit of your custom sound profiles.

Use the Google Smart Light Starter Kit to control the lights using just your voice. Set up in a snap: just plug in Google Home Mini, screw in the GE C-Life smart light bulb, and download the Google Home app to get started. Then just say "Hey Google" to dim, brighten, turn on and turn off the lights."
Is the bulb soft/warm white or bright/daylight white?
