Verified Purchase:Yes
This router does everything a Gigabyte router should, but if you are distributing from two ends of the house, remember that your ISP's router is most likely a slower 10/100 unit. Don't use that ISP router to distribute BETWEEN other computers in your network. That'll slow everything to 10/100. Instead feed only one cable from the ISP router into this Gigabyte router and then run everything else through this router. That will allow everything with Gigabyte capability to communicate at that higher speed.

Does this work with Time Warner

In my area north of Tampa, Time Warner became Bright House and is now Spectrum. If your area had the same progression of name changes and buy-outs, it should work as it does here for Spectrum.

Together with the rest of the Back-UPS Pro's standard features, they are the perfect choice to protect your data and keep your system available.
 

how long will this run with a wifi modem and router plugged into it?

The APC Pro 1350VA would be overkill for such a relatively tiny load of one Wi-Fi Modem and one typical Router. As the model number implies this UPC can output 1350 Volt Amps. If your devices have a wattage listed, you can take the volts (probably 120) and see how many times your device's amps divide into that number. If you purchase one of APS's models in this line (they range from 1100 VA to 1500 VA), the included software run on a PC will tell you how long the UPS will output 120 volts when your Wi-Fi Modem and Router are actually plugged in and under load. It will probably be several hours. As an example the power consumption of my home theater is fairly high. It includes a 75” TV, an Xbox One X, a Denon AVR-S730H Receiver pushing a 5.2.2 Surround system, a Western Digital NAS and a 10” and a 15” Powered Woofer. When plugged in to the UPS and under load, the PC program tells me it can maintain that load from the battery for 45 minutes.

Bring the sounds of the movies to your home with these Sony Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers. The compact size fits neatly on top of your existing tower speakers for an easy way to upgrade your sound system. Mica-reinforced cellular cones reduce distortion, while the MDF cabinets absorb vibrations for better playback. These Sony Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers offer surround sound capabilities for an immersive listening experience.
 

Hi, Can these be used on their own (without other speakers) for sound for a small room?

They certainly can be used for sound in small room, but they are designed in such a way that placing them in a way that doesn't aim the sound towards the ceiling is awkward. Using them alone would not give you "Atmos" sound, but having their sound traveling to the ceiling and reflecting downwards without being timed and controlled by an Atmor decoding audio receiver, might give you a weaker or slightly echoing effect, depending on the shape of your listening room.

Work out without the wires with these Insignia Bluetooth sport headphones, which connect easily with compatible devices. The sweat-proof design keeps up with the demands of your tough workouts, and the light weight offers all-day wear. These Insignia sport headphones feature inline controls so you can adjust the volume or take a call with ease.
 

Why does the light on my earphones turn purple and not connect to my phone anymore via Bluetooth? They were charging and stuff but aren't connecting

The flashing purple/blue LED on your earbuds is only telling you that the earbuds are ready and TRYING to pair (connect) with anything within range that can potentially pair with. Turn on the Bluetooth Pairing function of your phone and see if your phone can see/recognize your earbuds. Sometimes Bluetooth devices can only connect with each other if both of them are in the active seeking mod.

Add music to your day with these Sony wireless headphones. Their noise cancelling technology uses artificial intelligence to adapt to your environment and reduce background sounds for enjoyable listening. The Quick Charging battery on these over-ear Sony wireless headphones provides up to 35 hours of playback for convenience.
 

I said I have an ipod with a cord and asked if I could fit it in headphones that are wireless or cordless but you said the cord would fit in I'm asking would the ipod fit in the headphones by itself without connecting cords

If the model iPod you have is capable of broadcasting in Bluetooth, then you do not need the provided mini-jack cord. However, if your iPod does not connect/pair to other devices the way that smart phones do, then you will have to use the cord to get the signal into the Headphones.

Is the Sony better than the Bose quiet ll When it come s to noised

I THINK you're asking about the Noise Reduction feature. I have Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II Headphones and the Sony WH-CH700N Headphones. Using them while cutting grass or leaf blowing, I find that the Bose reduces a much wider frequency of sounds and gives you a cleaner version of the sound you want to hear (Podcast, Music, Etc.) at the same time. I found that when using the Sony I had to adjust the Podcast's volume much higher than I wanted to, to hear the Podcast voices over the lawnmower noise. It should be considered though that the Bose Quiet Comfort 35 is MUCH more expensive than the Sony WH-CH700N. You get what you pay for.

This Sony HDR Ultra TV is compatible with PlayStation Vue to eliminate your cable bill.
 

What I the weight?

The original Sony packing box that my Sony - 75" Class 900E came in, says the Gross weight is "47 Kg" on the side. That's 104 lbs. in real measurement. The actual
TV is a few pounds lighter and if you're wondering what it's like to lift it up to mount it on the wall, Two old retired fogies (my neighbor and I) were able to lift it into the wall mount bracket with no problem.

I am considering buying the 75" 900e. Is the internet required? I really don't want a Smart TV, or really a connection to the internet. I only want the TV to watch regular Direct TV channels, Netflix, and a Blue Ray that plays videos and DVDs. Thank you

Like you, the "Smart TV" features were of no interest to me as I turned my Sony - 75" Class (74.5" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV with High Dynamic Range on for the first time. That meant I had to plow through dozens of screens asking me to enter my google account (I don't have one) and other information to access the Smart features. After a few minutes of that I managed to get to the end of the set-up process and it hasn't asked me again since. I would recommend though that if you can, you should hook the TV up to the internet just once. That way you can receive the inevitable TV software operating system "Updates" that are sometime needed to make the TV operate properly. It's just the way it is nowadays. Because they expect "everyone" to have access to the internet, manufacturers are more willing to ship new products that really aren't fully tested or developed. As you know, it takes months for some of them to get from the factory to the home, so getting it on the water as fast as possible seems like a more important thing that perfecting the software. I also think they use the early adopters of models to do quality testing for them. If enough of us complain of some operating problem, they can make the change and send it to us over the internet later.

With a very fast internet connection, it still took about five minutes or so for my Sony 900E to update before fully operating for the first time. It was worth it though. It's a great TV.

Tilt or extend your television for maximum viewing enjoyment with this Sanus Advanced Tilt TV wall mount. Able to support up to 150 pounds of weight, this mount can easily handle flat screen televisions up to 90 inches. Click, lock and release on this Sanus Advanced Tilt TV wall mount let you find a viewing angle and secure it.
 

The find a mount search indicates this is a proper mount for my Panasonic TCP58VT25. The TV user manual shows a 500x300 VESA pattern, but this doesn't show as supported under the mount specs. Am I just misunderstanding the specs? Please clarify.

As with most TV mounts, this one has plenty of mounting options to accommodate a wide range of TV makes and sizes. On the vertical axis there are multiple slots and holes in the brackets to line up with the vertical distance between the mounting holes on hundreds of TV makes, models and sizes. On the horizontal axis, the two vertical rails once mounted to the TV, can hook anywhere on the wall mount hook-rail. The only limitation is if the width between the rails once mounted on the TV can't be greater than the width of the section of the mount screwed to the wall. That is why there are limits to how big a TV each make and model TV Wall Mount can handle. This one goes up to 100" class TVs. This mounting system comes with a large variety of screws and plastic spacers to cope with the variety of TVs. A TV manufacturer would have to work very hard to deliberately design the hole pattern on the back of their TV that this mounting system can't accommodate. It fit my 75" Sony Bravia 900E perfectly.

Where is this TV manufactured?

The label on my 75" 900E's box says it was manufactured in Mexico.
