A Good Wireless Router
on February 12, 2016
Posted by: OmieOne
from East Stroudsburg, PA
Our household has cut the cable cord so we rely on our wireless router. I can have over 20 devices on and accessing the Internet at any one time between the computers, tablets, game consoles, streaming boxes and phones. I had a perfectly service AC1900 router that provided full coverage to my house. I therefore swapped this router in the exact same place. Coverage seems equal is not slightly better then my older router. It could be from the beefier antenna. Setting up the router was an easy affair. Only downside was as soon as I connected it auto connected to the router for configuration. The setup was easy and I like th efact the router will auto update itself. That is nice to see that security patches can be pushed automatically and saves me from having to monitor it as I would with others. The Setup was something my mother could do, though I was not happy with the Smart Wi-Fi not taking a complex password. I did turn it on briefly to play with but after seeing it works and I could connect, I deleted my account. I do not like having connected devices to internet not protected by very long and complex passwords. If they update the system to take passwords that very log or enable some kind of two-factor so I can protect my network I will use the feature again, and if they do I will make sure my parents get one as I can support them easily. However until they do that I will not be using that feature. Otherwise setup was a breeze. My devices as I was fiddling with the different settings that required a radio reset would connect right back. We have run it for a week and no one has noticed the switch. The ability to set certain computers or protcols as High priority is easy and nice. We use Skype to talk to family and sometimes it lag because of a large download. The QOS settings worked great in the tests we ran, it made sure the Skype connection stayed. But otherwise noone has noticed a difference. Again that isn't a bad thing. I don't want to manage the device, and if people don't notice something working I consider it success. If they had two-factor for smart wi-fi, or at least password complexity and long passwords I would give this router five stars. But that missing secure feature on an other wise good router, If you have to support a large number of devices and need a modern router that at least for the first week and half I've had it been working without a hitch this would be the one for you. I did like the fact too that you can turn off all the lights. That is nice if you have it a bedroom or dark room and don't want to see the flashing. I wish more devices had that feature. I'm looking at you bright blue LED's from EVERYONE!

Good Sound Bar
on November 20, 2015
Posted by: OmieOne

This is a great little sound bar with Bluetooth that is just perfect for my living room when I just need to fill the room with music. It adds a nice room filling sound that is clear without being over loud. The Only con is the optical input requires PCM input and my optical out on my TV just doesn't do that. But the optical out from my desktop did drive the sound without an issue once I got it to output to the correct format and sounded great. The Bluetooth pairs quickly with phones and other devices, and have a good range. The wireless subwoofer drives a nice amount of base and can be placed for best effect if needed. I also like that the remote have a separate volume for the subwoofer. Overall this is a great 2.1 sound bar for a medium sized room that you need to fill with sound. If you need a simple system I don't think you can go wrong with this one.

Finally a Cell Phone I love A right from the start

Age:35-44
Phone size:Just right
A pefect phone. It has all the features I wanted. Yes its a new Phone OS so it lacks a few Apps I do use, but nothing crictal. Even though this isn't a high resolution screen its one of the best I've used indoors and out. The live tiles are great and its fun to setup the phone the way I want, not the way the vendor things I want. Also every piece of addtional bloatware from the carrier and vendor can be uninstalled and or reinstalled. YAY! No more things I don't want. Just what I want the way I want.
I love the fact the battery is removal. I can add SD cards to the phone. I wish more phones were like this. I can expand it, or at least carry a spare battery. I can also hope they release an extended battery so I can operate longer. Its also cool this supports Wireless charging out of the gate. Just need to find a wireless charger.

Sound is great and the GPS driving, though stating beta, worked as well. It got me to where I was going.
Let me just say. Awesome phone and for 100 bucks on contract how can you go wrong.
Also the power button on the side is actually perfectly placed use. No more werid yoga to turn the screen on/off. Its awesome.
BUY THIS PHONE! IT ROCKS!
What's great about it: Perfect Size, Perfect Operation, Expandable and Just awesome
What's not so great: No extended battery yet

If you still have to have Internet service what do I need this thing for I already have a router
Well the two I can think of are: 1. If you need better/stronger wifi coverage throughout your house or 2. if you have newer devices that can use the AC wireless settings. With the Mu-Mimo, even if your devices don't support it, testing has shown that your over all wireless throughput will be better as the router can share the connection better with all devices.
