Great Wi-Fi system for a beginner
on January 11, 2017
Posted by: BrandonKfromHouston
A novice could easily get this Wi-Fi system up and running in very little time. It is extremely fast and has great coverage.
The problem with this system is that there is absolutely no way to access the advanced features that come with every other router I have worked with. With my network, I need the ability to change the IP range and turn off DHCP service. This is impossible (right now) to control.
The customer service rep informed me that she would forward my call information to the proper people so that they may include these features in future firmware/app updates, but honestly, I do not understand why they would have left any of these features out.

Must-Have iPhone 7 Accessory
on January 11, 2017
Posted by: BrandonKfromHouston
One of the biggest drawbacks to the iPhone 7 was the inability to charge and listen to a wired set of headphones at the same time. This accessory fills a void that I feared would take much longer to be produced.
It works great, and I have no issues with it at all. The pictogram/instructions make it very easy to see that you shouldn't try to charge with two charging cables, and you can't listen to two different sets of headphones at the same time, but either lightning port will accept either a charger or headphones.
I am very happy with this product.

Revive your Apple Watch conveniently with this Belkin Valet Charger power pack. A single charge of its 6700 mAh battery refuels a watch up to eight times, and an embedded smart chip detects connected devices for automatic wireless charging. This Belkin Valet Charger power pack includes a USB port for simultaneously charging additional devices.
Posted by: BrandonKfromHouston
When I get up in the morning, I take my watch off of the charger to put it on my wrist. I do not like unplugging the charger to take it to work with me (waking up my wife in the process) or even keeping track of that LONG cable throughout the day.
This charger lets me carry power for my phone and Apple watch with the least inconvenience. I am enamored by the fact that the watch charger is built into the battery. It looks beautiful and works well, even though a 2.1 amp USB port would have probably been more useful.
I am VERY happy with this product!

I have to admit that the very first thing I used this for was margaritas... I put a little more than I was supposed to in it, so my counter got a few splashes.
It cut through ice very quickly. It will not turn on unless the blender is locked in and the lid is locked in, as well... Great Feature!
Read the instructions, so you won't make the same mistake I did.
The blender came well packaged, and it is extremely easy to clean. It is almost impossible to put things in the wrong place or use it incorrectly/unsafely.
I'm looking forward to using our blender much more often.

Great Video Editing Tool
on December 19, 2016
Posted by: BrandonKfromHouston
I've always wanted to be able to edit videos for the family, but I've never had a tool that was this easy to use. With Premiere Elements, transitions and text are relatively simple to create and edit.
The Organizer tool does a great job of recognizing faces and keeping photos and videos organized. I can easily pick a name from the Organizer, and see every picture with that person tagged. With my 10k+ list of photos, I still have some verifications to make, but most of my photos were automatically detected. I have 3 daughters that look similar during their similar ages, so there was some overlap, but the software has done a great job so far.
Of course, for photo editing, Photoshop Elements makes many normally difficult edits very quick and easy. It truly is amazing how quickly we can get things done to our library of photos with this tool.

Enhance footage and create professional-looking video montages with Adobe Premiere Elements 15. Access the software’s de-haze feature on your traditional computer or touchscreen device to reduce mist and fog for a bright, clear result. Features like enhanced search, which help you sort and label videos appropriately, make Adobe Premiere Elements 15 an essential for any budding videographer.

While I am technically savvy, I've had trouble with editing software in the past. This software makes it relatively easier to edit videos and remove the shake that comes with my daughter holding the camera. Adding text or effects to video or video transitions is very easy, but you have more control in the advanced tab. I would recommend this to family and friends interested in organizing their media and creating videos to share with others.

I was a little reluctant about receiving this item because I wasn't sure how useful it would be. I set up a separate Gmail account for the family because I wasn't all that familiar with how much access my family or even intruders would have to the connected account.
We had a birthday party and the background music provided by Google Home was fantastic and seamless. I really like the ability to change the temperature of my Nest thermostats without having to pick up my phone and find the app, and getting a quick rundown of the news while I'm making a sandwich without having to turn fiddle with any remotes or watch something is really slick.
I'm really looking forward to the services that this already provides that I have yet to find out about, as well as potential services.

Easy Setup, Long Range
on November 8, 2016
Posted by: BrandonKfromHouston
This router is easy to setup with the small list of instructions provided and provided more than enough coverage in my 2600 square foot house.
It is wall-mountable, which is a big plus for me, and all ports are labeled well. Setup was completed in just under 5 minutes, although my modem and everything else was already prepared since this was a replacement for my old modem.
I would recommend this to friends and family, especially those who have trouble with long sets of instructions.

Keep your home dust-free with this Bissell AirRAM cordless vacuum. Its high-performance F.U.E.L. cell provides up to 30 minutes of run time, while the advanced compression technology lets it store as much dirt as typical bagless vacuums. This Bissell AirRAM cordless vacuum has a low profile for easy maneuvering around furniture.
Posted by: BrandonKfromHouston
As small as this vac was, I did not expect it to work this well.
Out of the box, the battery was a little less than halfway charged, but following the instructions, it was easy to see when all four lights were solid and it was completely charged.
Read through the instructions and the roller is easy to clear, and the bin is extremely easy to empty. There are no settings to change, and the suction is strong on hard floors. I cleaned the entire bottom floor of the house, and there was over 50% battery left, so I'm sure I (or, more likely, my kids) could finish the entire house on one charge very easily. The charge time is apparently around 5 hours.
I would like to note that we do not have any carpet in our house, so we really just use it as a sweeper, but it's much easier than using a broom and dustpan.

Genius Technical Design
on September 29, 2016
Posted by: BrandonKfromHouston
I've used several methods to extend my wireless network. The only viable method I've found is a wired method because wireless would get much slower on the extension end of the network.
The technical design behind this completely solves that problem, and I can place my extension in a variety of places because I am no longer tethered to the ethernet connection that was run through the walls! On top of that, I can actually plug wired devices into the extension, which is one of those features most devices seemed to not even think about.
The setup of the router and extension were simple enough to be on a small folded piece of paper inside the box and very easy to follow.
The speed was fantastic, and I did not see a drop in speed testing when I was at the farthest point in my home from the primary router.
I will definitely recommend this to my friends and family

does it support AT&T Digital life and its Nest devices and thermostats that are attached to the system ?
I did not see AT&T in the potential to link accounts, but I did link my Nest thermostats. The Nest link works very well.
