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

Prevent dead zones around your home with the help of this Linksys Wi-Fi range extender. It works with all types of Wi-Fi routers, and it uses multi-user MIMO for speed and efficiency. This Linksys Wi-Fi range extender can be used to create a different access point or to extend the field of the router’s connection.

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.

Navigate your desktop precisely with this Corsair Dark Core gaming mouse. It uses low-latency Bluetooth for syncing with compatible devices, and its 16000 DPI optical sensor provides high accuracy performance during game play. This Corsair Dark Core gaming mouse has a contoured shape and interchangeable textured side grips for a comfortable feel in hand.
Asking the people that bought this mouse, have they fixed the wireless connection issues ??? Any software updates to address the problem ??? Thank you in advance.....
I have been using it for a few days now, I did do a firmware update right away and I haven't noticed any connection issues yet. I have been using BT and 2.4GHz dongle.

Only at Best Buy Defend your home from intruders with this SimpliSafe security system. Its wireless design provides reliable, multilayer protection and avoids interruptions from cut phone lines and power outages, and it connects to an app for remote operation. This SimpliSafe security system is easy to install and customizable to homes of any size for flexible use.
Can more entry sensors or detectors be added to this unit afterwards? Or is the maximum amount four/one?
I am not sure if there is a max number of sensors, but you can add more if you need them. I am just not sure what the number is. But if you are planning on putting them on an area with many windows, they recommend getting a glass breakage sensor and motion sensor to cover those areas.

Will currently installed SimpliSafe sensors, etc. work with this new base unit, or will they all need to be replaced? Thank you.
I believe they need to be replaced with the new sensors. I saw that someone asked this very question on Facebook and simpisafe responded that the new unit only works with the new sensors.

Listen to your playlist in peace with these Sony headphones. They have a 40mm dome driver to deliver the full depth of audio, and the noise cancelling feature minimizes outside disturbances for a better listening experience. These Sony headphones have a battery life of up to 30 hours for extended jam sessions.
What walkman are compatible with these headphones?
only the tape walkman. j/k I think most devices can pair with this. You also get a 3.5mm cable and a 3.5mm jack on the headphones so yes, an old tape walkman will work.

Do these headphones have the same cracking problem that the last version had! I am planning to buy them soon and I want them to last for the price. Thank you.
I haven't noticed any crackling with these, but I have only had mine for about a week.

just look for a usb type C (or type A) dvd drive, but if you mean an internal one, then no, not an option

Hi. I just bought this and the screen continually adjusts the brightness/contrast automatically. I've searched everywhere and did the fixes stated online but with no improvement. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks!
mine does the same thing. I don't have a solution though.

Hello, I bought the my xps 2 days ago. I am really concern about the cooling system because it is way too warm. Compare to my friend MacBook Air, it's Much warmer. Does anybody feel the laptop too warm? Even when It is just on charge Or in light use...
mine gets a little warm, but not too hot. I think its pretty safe and i don't fear it getting too hot that it will burn itself out. However, I haven't had mine running super intensive processes for long periods of time.

Can I add additional ssd on this laptop? Is it expandable?
its a sealed device, and there is no place to install an additional SSD, but you can get a microSD and use that for storage as well. You can probably make windows think its another HD and use it as extended storage.
