Roku 3: Access more than 1,500 channels in up to 1080p and view videos from Netflix and YouTube directly on your TV. Fast, powerful and loaded with features, the motion-sensing remote lets you play games or plug in headphones to watch late-night flicks without waking up the household.

Great streaming box worth every penny
on April 20, 2013

Super easy setup, five minutes and you're up and running. UI is a big improvement much easier to use than Roku 2. If you have the bandwidth streaming is lightning quick and a lot of 1080p HD is available. I can control the Roku with their app on my tablet or phone so I dont use the remote much. 750 channels, if you can't find something to watch on this thing you should give up and go back to radio. Well worth $99 get one.

What's not so great: nothing yet

Awesome phone for Sprint & AT&T

Age:45-54
Phone size:Just right
This is easily the best Android phone on Sprint bar none.
If you're in a 4G LTE area this phone flies along like nothing I've ever used before. The screen is fantastic better than the AMOLED screen on the Samsung SIII and the quad core processor can handle anything.
Battery life with moderate use easily lasts 14 hours with plenty left over.
Call quality is good, great size and all in all a great experience if you like Android.
What's great about it: Great design, incredibly fast on 4G, battery is good
What's not so great: Nothing yet
I would recommend this to a friend!

big bang for a few bucks

Wanted a 14" laptop and this fit the bill perfectly. Processor is fast and graphics are fantastic. Plays 1080p Youtube videos without so much as a hiccup and picture is stunning.
Runs microsoft office no problem and flies through websites.
Compared to some of the other laptops in this price range it stands out for value, build quality and performance.
For $379 it's a no-brainer.
What's great about it: processor, graphics
What's not so great: nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Create a reliable internet connection throughout your home with this Google Wi-Fi system. The convenient package of three connectivity points effortlessly covers even large homes up to 4,500 square feet. This Google Wi-Fi system eliminates uneven bandwidth usage among multiple devices, including cellphones and tablets, for an unimpeded connection that doesn't lag behind.
 

How Google Wifi does when compared with Netgear Orbi regarding to speed/range performance and stability?

I've used both and the speed all around on the Netgear Orbi is faster because it uses a dedicated 5ghz band for backhaul compared to to Google Wifi.
That being said the Google Wifi is pretty comparable in both speed and coverage and it costs less. I no longer use the Netgear because my Wife thinks it looks like a giant neighborhood air freshener.

Can the units that are not physically connected to my router provide network access via a Cat 5 cable to non-WiFi devices?

No, the mesh units have to be connected to the base unit or they won't work. They don't work independently/
