Speed Speed Speed!

I last upgraded my router in 2017, and after moving my home I felt that my old router wasn't up to snuff with all of the new gadgets and devices in our house now using the wifi.
I have always liked lynksys and my old router was one also. So I opted to stay with them and I am glad I did, setup was a breeze it took me less than 15 minutes to be up and running. and while my peak speed wasnt any different I did notice I did not have as much of a drop in speed the more devices were connected using the new router.
If you need a new router I highly recommend this one, it is very small and compact but covers a very large area and has great speed.

Great Air fryer

I use this air fryer for everything, I have been making as much food as I can using this device and everything I threw at it was no problem. I love the dual slots so I can be making different foods at the same time. it has sped up making meals.
There is only one gripe with this air fryer it is very loud, when it is working the fan is going and it is much louder than other air fryers I have used.

besides the noise though the air fryer works great and I highly recommend it especially if you constantly make more than one dish using the air fryer having the two sides makes it much faster to make multiple dishes.

Best looking Smartwatch
on September 30, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
The citizen CZ smartwatch is easily the best looking smartwatch ever to me. it very well built and looks like a premium watch. I have not had a smartwatch for several years because the first time I used one I was severely disappointed, battery life was terrible and overall it was very limited. the improvements they have made since then are great the battery life alone is well worth. easily going a whole work day and never having to charge.
everything worked as I needed it to notifications came in and were very easy to see and the watch was very responsive in controlling my music.

Overall I am extremely happy with this watch and the fact it looks like a normal citizen watch is even better.
Highly recommend

The Nest Doorbell is the battery-powered video doorbell that works with any home. See what’s happening at your door from anywhere and get intelligent alerts about important activity, like when there’s a person, package, animal, or vehicle.* And because there are no wires, you can install it yourself. Nest Doorbell requires the Google Home app and a Google Account – it’s not compatible with the Nest app or the home.nest.com site.

Great doorbell camera!
on September 27, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
I love my google Nest doorbell camera. Especially that it runs on a battery. It is so convenient my house is very old and did not want to spend the money it would cost to have someone come out and fix the old wires to the doorbell that no longer work. This was the perfect solution took me about 15 minutes to install and set up. After that I was off and running. Everything ok it has worked great so far and the notifications are quick and it’s easy for me to acces the app and watch what is happening I’m live. I could not recommend this more.
Highly recommended if your looking for a doorbelll camera.

Good Basic Smart Clock
on September 8, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
This Lenovo smart clock work well if you want something that is basically and alarm clock that can charge your phone and have some basic smart functionality.
It cannot do any video streaming or video chat, which you might not want to do on this anyway since it is pretty small screen and most peoples phones are probably the same size anyways.
I played some music on it and as an IOS user google assistant work well to play exactly want you want and answer any questions you have. it worked well setting alarms for me when I asked and even using the app to get some routines set up was pretty nice. Everything works well and the alarm can get plenty loud and wake you up.
I will say the speakers are very meh sounding hen listening to music. they get decently loud but are not the best sounding.
If you need an alarm clock with some more functionality than one that just tells the time and has an alarm then this is perfect for you.
the charging pad is a nice touch as is the night light function.

Solid Gaming Laptop
on August 22, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
The Alienware X15 is a good looking solid gaming laptop. Even though it’s bigger than a typical laptop it is still remarkably thin. In terms of games I was able to run pretty much everything I threw at it typically at medium or high settings. I was able to run control pretty well with ray tracing on and not have too many issues, and while you can play with it unplugged off the battery I recommend if you are playing games to have the laptop plugged in as the battery does not last very long. Depending on the game it can get pretty loud but for most part the fan level is not too terrible.
Overall I am very happy with it because I can use it for watching movies and typical work. In those parts the laptop shines battery life is great if your watching videos or just using it for work. The screen looks great and competes really well with my wife’s OLED screen laptop.

Overall if you need something for work and do not have anything else to game on then this is good option. If you already have something else to play games on this might no be the best value.

We all know one of the biggest flaws of next generation gaming is storage space. Xbox has their own product but it seems to be a bit more geared towards extending the space of the next gen games. I needed something more for my Xbox360 and Xbox games. I don’t need the blazing fast speed of the new hard drive in the Xbox. So I was extremely surprised when I’m loading the games from this external sad didn’t seem to be that different from the internal one.
If you need more space for your older games on the Xbox I highly recommend this drive it’s small so it doesn’t take up much space and it works great.

Good Sounding Headphones That Just Miss The Mark
on July 3, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
Overall I like the Syn Pro Air headphones, they are very comfortable and they sound great. They work great on PC and have several ways to customize them to your liking. One downside was I did have some issues with these on my laptop, one time I plugged them in and sound only came out of the right earcup and another time no sound would come out of them at all. On my desktop they worked fine no issues.
I did also try them on PS5 where they sounded fantastic only downside was the volume control on the headset did not work and you have to use the consoles control to change it.

the neon software is pretty good, I did have some trouble at first updating the headset but after that it worked well. Was not too difficult to use.
Overall I really like this headset its comfortable and sounds good, I just think they were probably released a little early the software is not fully done and there were enough bugs I had that did frustrate me. Hopefully soon all of that will be ironed out because this headset really does sound good.

My son is very much into making movies and we have been looking for a way to help him use his ipod to get better results. This kit was perfect it helped him get better audio and lighting. and the grip was great.
he was able to set up his Ipod with the grip and start getting better shots. I could see how someone using this to make vlogs or videos would really help them.
I think the Kit is great and I highly recommend it

Solid chromebook for school and watching videos
on June 12, 2021
Posted by: masc360
from Manteca
My son is turning 11 this year and needed something for him to use for school and when he wants to watch videos.
Based on what he needed for school we ended up choosing a chromebook for him. We knew he didn’t need anything top of the line so this was perfect.
When I first opened the package and took the chromebook out i immediately thought this thing looks designed for kids. It’s not bulky per se but it does have big bezels and the whole thing is a bit thick. But it feels well built and the keyboard was very responsive.
During the setup the chromebook asked if this was for a kid and let me set it up for my son super easily and that was great.
Is it the best or fastest machine on the market..no it’s not but it does everything we need it to do.
If you need something for a younger kid for school or watching videos this chromebook is perfect for that.

How many speakers will this support? I've got four(4) inside the house for surround sound, and two(2) on the porch. Will it support all six, in two zones?
Thanks for your help!

It will support two zones, but you need an exterior amp to power the speakers on the second zone.
