Long story.

Extremely easy to set up.
Speeds prior on PS4 were 8-11Mbps. After adding the powerline adapter, speeds doubled to 20-22Mbps on a 30Mbps connection.
No more lag.
I was sceptical as a gamer and relying on it for gaming, but I stand corrected. Very good investment. Ty

Had first bought this to make it easier to plug in my hard drives because the cords that come with them are short. However, I now use it to stretch my phone to me while charging it while in the basement. Nearest outlet was 7' away. Also, I use it to charge my headset for PS4. Helps when it dies in the middle of the game, I can still use it, just wired.

It toasts bread. It toasts bagels. Wide slots make it easy. Has 1 lever and a few buttons. I haven't done a lot of toasting, but it seems to toast pretty well. Oh, and it's pretty.

Tough to decide...
on November 16, 2015
Posted by: Ohiowit
from Columbus, OH
Do I keep hanging onto wireless N or step up to AC? I decided instead of dropping $250 on AC, to go ahead and pick this up using reward certificates. I moved my old N600 into the living room and turned it into an access point. This modem boosted my internet speed from 15 to 30 (old modem was Docsis 2.0) and with the access point, I covered my entire home with great speeds. Not only that, but I will now save $7 a month on cable bill now. Win-win-win.
Please note: If you have a LOT of connections via tablets, PC, laptops and mobile phones, you may want AC. For me, it was 1 PC, 1 TV and 2 phones...N600 was fine.

I won this fridge from the Sugar bowl last year
on September 9, 2015
Posted by: Ohiowit
from Columbus, OH
I won this fridge from the Allstate Sugar Bowl "Mayhem sale" promo last year. I wanted to give my input to help others in the buying decision since I've owned it almost 8 months now.
Besides being absolutely gorgeous, it has some nice features. For starters, it's a french door, so you can store stuff easier with the adjustable shelving. The ice maker is a little small, but you can choose fast ice and refill rather quickly. It has an amazing amount of freezer storage. If you are looking at this in the store, the freezer may seem small, but trust me it is not. The pizza storage is nice too, but usually only fits one pizza.
Obviously, since I won this fridge, I am a little biased because I only paid the taxes on it. However, I can say I would have bought it anyway.
My only con is that it can be a little noisy. Sometimes it just makes a strange noise after I've had the doors open for a little while and the compressor is kicking in to recool it. I'm not sure if it's this model, or my particular fridge. Either way, I love it.

So far, it works well.

First off, this is clearanced about $170 off. If that's not enough, I'm not sure what is. I had to order it from inside the store (ask any salesperson).
Secondly, I've owned 2 hoovers and rented Green Machines. This is so far, the best I've used. The old Hoover I had for 10 years did a great job, IF I put my foot on the top and moved my foot left to right to scrub. Hey, it worked but it was tiring.
When I saw this for $92 I jumped at it and glad I did.
It does a great job cleaning tough pet stains (8 cats and a dog). Heavy enough on the front to create suction and get the soap out.
I had to clear the filter twice in a 16x16 room. Refilled the soap and emptied the dirty water 4 times. That may seem like a lot, but it really isn't. Steam cleaning carpet is not an easy job, if you want easy, call a professional.
I highly recommend this for the price, it's a steal. I even bought 4 years of protection for $20. Worth it.

What's great about it: Heavy! Yes, heavy (read below)

If you don't have a charging station, get one...

Seriously, every time I would go to charge my controllers, I would dawn a look of a sad panda. Plugging them in and charging meant unplugging my keyboard and headset every time. This makes life so much easier. Not only does it free up the USB ports, but it looks nice too. Red light = charging. Green light = charged and ready to play!
I had one a long time ago and my dog ate it. Not sure why it took so long to get another one (lazy). I bought my dogs treats.

This product works great for my Sonos Play5 on my patio. Sad that a $400 speaker isn't wireless built in anyway. However, I understand why this bridge is needed if you have multiple speakers. Works well and easy setup,.

It's been an intense round. Your team and the enemy have been swapping leads like presents on Christmas. It's down to the wire and it's time for you to show them what you've got. You head toward the center of the map where the action is condensed and people are dropping like flies. You manage to slip into the ruins of a house, head for the second floor and position yourself at the window. You start eliminating targets as they dart across the street. Your blood is flowing, your heart is pumping and adrenaline is surging through your veins. There's only seconds left and you can taste the victory — not to mention a supremely epic K/D ratio. Just as time's about to run out, you hear the sound of footsteps from behind you. You're already shooting as you whirl around and you manage to take him down and save yourself. The screen fades to black and the room fills with the glow of your headset as the cheers and whoops of your teammates fill your ears. Glory is yours.When the action is most intense, you need to be able to rely on your headset to give you the edge. Whether it's the sound of enemy footsteps, breaking glass, suppressed gun shots, tactical respawns or fall damage, it can be the difference between glory and defeat. This Afterglow Universal Prismatic Wireless Headset is tuned by a Hollywood sound-design studio, and features 50mm neodymium speakers that sit inside an angled acoustic cavity for intense audio depth, sonic richness and clarity of sound. To get you even deeper in the zone, the headset features glowing lights that you can set to almost any color. The durable design ensures that they can withstand frequent, long-lasting gaming sessions. So connect to your game console and get ready for explosive action. You've got the advantage of crystal-clear sound on your side.

Excellent headset, too bad I couldn't keep it.
on April 26, 2014
Posted by: Ohiowit
from Columbus, OH
I had purchased this headset for my PS3 in my man cave. Unfortunately, for it to work, I had to run the PS3 composite cable from my PS3 to the surround sound. If it was just hooked to my TV, this would have not been an issue at all. The projector is on the ceiling, so running the cord there would have been a nightmare. I had to return them, but ONLY because I needed a simple USB plug in. I then purchased the Sony Pulse Elite and I can honestly say, the Afterglow has better sound and bass. If you are looking for a good sounding inexpensive headset for gaming, these are the way to go. They did work for my PC by just plugging it in the USB.

Upgraded from a Photon 4G
on April 3, 2014
Posted by: Ohiowit
from Columbus, OH
Age:35-44
Phone size:Just right
I upgraded from my Motorola Photon 4G, which I liked, but was stuck on Android 2.3.5 because Motorola wasn't updating it anymore...seriously.
Anyway, I went in for the HTC One, and after talking with the mobile salesperson, I decided on going with the LG G2.
The phone is sleek, fast and the interface is easy to use. The button on the back is really stupid, but since you have the "knock knock" feature to turn it on and off, you will hardly use it. As a matter of fact, I have only used the power button to screenshot (hold power and volume down).
The sound quality is junk, but seriously, if you actually use your phone as a listening device for music, you deserve to be disappointed. The call quality is different from my Photon, but not quite sure if it's better or worse yet.
Overall, I love this phone. It's a major improvement over previous phones I've owned. I'm 41 years old, so watching as technology becomes faster and faster, and fits in your pocket, is wonderful to watch.
The phone was free with 2 year upgrade so price was awesome too.

Find out who's at your door, even when you're away from home. Just connect the doorbell via Wi-Fi and use the Ring app on your iOS or Android device to interact with visitors, receive alerts and review footage.

The Ring Doorbell is Junk
By CCRME
This doorbell just does not work. The company falsely advertises it's product by putting a fake video and photo out there of what the product looks like. The video is horrible, it's a small round hole and is fisheye. Not like on their website or the box. The motion detection does not capture anything until people are walking away. The audio stops working about 5 seconds after starting, and sometimes doesn't work at all. The zones will capture cars driving by, after they have driven by, but not people, until they are walking away. Audio and video are not synchronized. When you complain about anything to the company, they just say it's your wifi or internet. In my case, that is not true at all. All have been tested and far exceed the bandwidth requirements of the product. The company is a horrible company, the product is a horrible product. I wonder how they got their good reviews, Hmmmm......

Expand your network and add network devices with this Linksys five-port gigabit switch, letting you transfer 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet. Five ports offer 5X Ethernet so you can plug and play without missing a beat. Power is reduced to unused ports on this Linksys five-port gigabit switch, saving you money by reducing energy costs.

...or close to it. I bought it on Saturday and it died on Monday. The power light worked but all the ports quit at the same time. Linksys has a good reputaiton and I have had good luck with them in the past. But on this one occassion, the device completely failed almost immediatley.

Sorry to hear you had issues with the Linksys. In my opinion, a switch is a switch is a switch. I usually get the cheapest, but after reading the reviews and seeing this response from Linksys, I'm going to go ahead and pick up the Linksys. Sadly, the only reason I AM is because I can't find my old Dynex I removed in place of an access point. Too lazy to look. Linksys has my business.

So far....
By Ohiowit
I switched from a $120 directv bill to an Antenna, Directv now and netlix. I was already paying for Netflix, so it averaged $80 a month in savings. In that time, I had an issue with connecting my antenna into the basement projector. There were no connections to the projector. I found Tablo information on their website and decided to give it a go. I attempted to go cheap, and try an external SSD that was only 128MB. It formatted fine and worked for about 12 hours. Then the hard drive imploded and I was unable to use the Tablo. You cannot use the Tablo without a hard drive, even live viewing (it records small snippets for playback). So, I finally decided to try my old Seagate 2TB drive. The drive is older and was not recognized by Tablo. I then attempted to connect the Seagate with a micro USB cable (Phone) instead of the 3.0 USB cable it uses. After doing this, the hard drive was recognized and has been working flawlessly since.
If you having issues with your hard drive not working, try using a USB 2.0 cable (micro USB/Android charger) instead. Or, spend $50-100 on a new Western Digital Essentials they recommend.
I gave it 4/5 because of the issues, even if they were all my fault.

Can this device when connected to the TWC provider deliver lan as well as wifi service

As long as you run the ethernet cords, yes. It has 2 ports for outgoing connections via ethernet. If you need more, pop in a switch or buy a cheap router and use it as an access point. If you are unable to run wires, try using an powerline kit.

If the TV you are recycling is under 32" tube or 60" LCD, they should take it with them. Make sure to tell them when placing your order and they can add it to your order. That way it is on the agents work order when he comes to install. :)

Can I pair my Rocketfish 4 port switcher remote with my TV remote.

I have a bose system, Apple TV , Cable DVR box and the Rocketfish 4 port switcher. Too many remotes, I just pair my Apple TV to my cable remote can I do the same with the switcher?
I'm not sure, but I seriously suggest grabbing a logitech harmony remote. I have a 650 and 700 series and cannot live without them. They run about $80 for the GOOD ones. You can do almost anything with them, including the rocketfish hdmi selectors. Check other places online before you go, they price match.

Try unplugging it for about 30 seconds. If that doesn't work, try taking it in to the Best Buy you purchased it at to see if it's still under warranty. If you don't have the receipt, they can look it up for you. Hope you get it working, I love mine too.

This tilting mount is compatible with most 26" - 40" flat-panel TVs and features an innovative locking mechanism for quick and easy installation. The fingertip tilt allows for smooth movement and optimal viewing.
 

Can this be mounted in the corner of a wall? Or does it have to straight on one wall?

No, you would need a full motion mount for that. I got about 58 hits on this site about $30 and up. Make sure you hit a stud when putting the mount on the wall.
