Excellent Router / Extender System from D-Link
on September 26, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I have a two story house around 3000 square feet and having problems with wifi drops in some areas. I bought D-Link - Covr AC3900 Dual-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System to replace my existing router.
In terms of build quality, the base station is very solid quality and extender looks beautiful like Roku Premiere box. It comes with very well packaged and everything was individually wrapped. Setup is very easy and can be done either by PC UI or andriod / iOS apps. The Covr system came with two units base station (router) and extender. During setup, extender was identified automatically and configured with wifi settings. Please make sure that extender is very close to router for the first time setup to avoid any sync issues. I have moved the extender to second floor and now getting best Wi-Fi connection throughout home.
I had issues with the firmware and there is no way to set up the 5 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz networks separately as both are controlled using a single setup. It may not a big deal for me and it might be an issue for some users who are looking to have 2 separate networks. Also, iOS app crashed multiple times during setup and it can be improved over the period of time.
This is a great router that works covering the entire house with excellent speed. This is the best router / extender setup and it works really well for entire house and no more dead spots.

The WRT32X is a dual-band, MU-MIMO router capable of delivering throughput of up to 600Mbps on its 2.4GHz 802.11n network and 2600Mbps on its 5GHz 802.11ac network. It has one gigabit WAN port and a four-port Gigabit Ethernet switch onboard. It has one USB 3.0 port and a combo USB 2.0 / eSATA port for sharing storage over the network.
It comes with unique design ensures that any wireless device can receive a strong signal and software contains several features that make it especially best for gaming. Setup is really quick and simple. It delivers amazing speeds and gaming is lightning fast with zero lag. All devices connected without any issues and ping was much faster than previous router setup (32ms to 20ms).

Setup is really quick and simple. It delivers amazing speeds and gaming is lightning fast with zero lag. All devices connected without any issues and ping was much faster than previous router setup (32ms to 20ms).
The box contains the router along with its four antennas, a flat ribbon Ethernet cable, a quick start guide and a power adapter. The design of the router is really good. Its black body color and blue LEDs really show it was designed for gamers.
Setup was pretty simple and setup has to be done in a website instead of smartphone. During the setup, you should be able to change settings, admin password etc. I have done speed test and compare the results with my previous mesh router. I got 260 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload with a ping of 33 ms. With WRT32X, i got 275 Mbps and 30 Mbps with best ping of 20 ms. The wireless range is amazing and it is exceeded my expectation. I was able to get good connection and Wi-Fi speed throughout the house.
Linksys always make best routers in the market and WRT32X is no exception to this. Overall, the router performs exceptionally well. Even though it is built mainly for gaming and it will work exceptionally well for high demand internet users as well.

OMNA 180 CAM HD from D-Link is an excellent HomeKit Camera. Camera is very small with elegant design. Setup was really simple and quick using iPhone Apple HomeKit. There is dedicated app in iOS and Android as well. I was blown away with video quality and 180 degree wide eye view. It is 1080p full HD quality and it is stunning.
It has a microSD slot with support up to 128gb cards. Motion detection works really well. OMNA app has really coo features like enable / disable motion detection, SD recording, Night vision etc. It has an option to take photo in live view. Integration with Home app is seamless and works flawlessly.
I like the feature receiving alerts and record video clips. It has built-in Microphone and speaker. Night vision is much better than costly home monitoring cameras and ability to see up to 5m (16ft) in the dark.
I will be buying more OMNA 180 CAM HD for each room. It is excellent product and highly recommend to anyone who are looking for Home Monitoring camera.

Good 4K UHD player with limited streaming apps
on August 14, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Setup was very simple with easy to follow menus. This 4K Ultra HD 3D Blu-Ray can be connected with internet with wired and wireless options. There are two HDMI outputs in the back side one for latest receivers and TVs and another one for older receivers to connect audio only.
I would call this one as entry-level Blu-Ray player and it does excellent job of making movies look better. It loads discs quickly and quite as well. The picture quality is outstanding with HDR. I have watched few 4K movies and 3D movies with this player and Picture quality is superb.
The remote has too many buttons and it is confusing. I have configured with My Harmony remote and not going to use the remote at all. The biggest disappointment is that it came with 2 streaming services apps Netflix and YouTube and i have to use other devices like Apple TV to watch channels.
I would highly recommend this player to play 4K, 3D, BD, DVD & CD discs.

Amazing Gaming Headset. Value for Money

Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Logitech - G433 Wired 7.1 Gaming Headset is must have accessory for gaming and general use. It is very light and comfortable to use, 7.1 surround sound which is perfect for gaming.
The ear cups have a cloth-like exterior to match the grille cloth. The right ear cup holds 3.5mm connections for both the audio cable and the removable boom mic, a flexible rubber arm that clicks securely into place.
The headset comes with the aforementioned two pairs of ear pads and detachable boom mic, plus two cables, a cloth carrying bag, and a 7.1-channel USB sound card. The PC cable is 6.5 feet long and wrapped in cloth, features an inline remote with volume wheel and mic mute switch. There is another 5 feet cable included for phone. The mobile cable is plain rubber and features an inline mic with a single play/pause button.
The carrying case is a soft, zip-up pouch that comfortably holds the headset with the ear cups folded flat. It also has lot of room for both cables and the extra ear pads. The included 7.1-channel USB sound card lets G433 simulate surround sound with audio processing and mixing between the headset's stereo drivers. Surround sound is great for all games and Mic quality is outstanding.
The Logitech G433 is a very flexible wired gaming headset that comes with a ton of accessories which include two cables, two sets of ear pads, a carrying case, and a USB sound card enabling simulated surround all add up to a very good deal for $100.

Best Hot Air Fryer from Philips
on July 29, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Philips Air Fryer certainly working as expected. We have cooked fries, onion rings and banana and all came out very crisp and taste is awesome.
I really like using this air fryer to cook crisp foods by using hot air rather than a lot of messy / unhealthy oil. It cooks really fast. The controls are very easy to set temperature and time. The basket can be released with one button click. The unit is little loud while cooking. The design is very elegant and it can fit in a cupboard.
The manual is not great and very difficult to follow the instructions. This particular model missing many useful accessories as listed on the box. The cookbook that is included is very helpful. I prefer to use the phone app which is simpler to use. This fryer can be used to Fry, Bake, Grill and Roast. It is very easy to clean. Please be careful while using the basket and gets very hot. Also, another issue is it comes with very short card which limits where you can place it.
Overall, it is excellent product for cooking and definitely a great alternative for deep frying.

Ninja Coffee Brewer is an excellent choice for people who drink coffee very frequently. It is easy to assemble. As recommended, I have followed and completed the cleaning cycle before first use. We have started using this coffee maker immediately and impressed with the taste of the coffee. It tasted better than store coffee. The nice thing about this brewer is that you can choose half, travel and full.
The size is small and did not take up much space. Build quality is great and comes with all necessary accessories. It is exceeded my expectations.
If you are a serious coffee drinker and want premium coffee tasting experience, this coffee maker definitely for you.

Excellent Headphone. Value for Money
on July 12, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
I connected JBL Everest 310 headphone wirelessly to my iPad Air & my android phone and they worked flawlessly. Setup is quick and easy with Bluetooth. It also comes with an 3.5mm headset cable with an inline mic for wired use. I was streaming audio from Spotify, Plex, and even watched several movies wearing these. Unlike other products this headphones have very balanced sound. While the traditional bass is there, it is very obvious they are providing a much cleaner sound now.
I was skeptical to buy these after buying and returning a pair of the high end headphones from other companies. This is best wireless headphone made by JBL and well worth every dime of the purchase. I have owned wired and wireless headphones previously from multiple companies. Those were replaced by JBL Everest 310 headphones as my go-to device for listening music.
The hard carrying case is great for maximum protection. Battery life is so good and i was able to listen more than 20 hours with single charge. The headphones physical controls include the power slider, volume buttons, play/pause button (which can be used to answer incoming calls), a Bluetooth pair button, and a ShareMe button. I really liked the ShareMe feature allows you to pair an additional bluetooth headset (regardless of brand) to the headphones and listen on both devices. It works very well. Overall, these headphones are definitely versatile, offering Bluetooth and wired options. They are easy to use thanks to the quick power-on, power-off, pairing, and the various physical controls.
I have listed some of the notable features of JBL Everest 31 Headphones.
20 Hour Battery, quickly recharge in 2 hours using Micro USB
Built in microphone with echo cancellation technology for crystal clear, hands-free calls.
Comfort fit - ergonomically designed to fit the unique contour of listener's ears.
Fold and Carry - A sleek flat-fold design with premium hard carrying case to allow maximum portability and protection

WOW. Amazing Home Automation / Wi-Fi router
on June 28, 2017
Posted by: Selva
from Chander AZ
Samsung Connect Home is the industry’s first Smart mesh Wi-Fi System to combine fast, reliable Wi-Fi coverage for every room in a home with Samsung’s industry-leading smart home platform, Samsung SmartThings.
Samsung Connect Home design replaces larger, antenna-laden routers with a simple, sleek and compact design that can be placed anywhere and everywhere in the home, even in plain sight.
Simple setup and unified management – Samsung Connect Home can be set up with easy-to-follow instructions using the Samsung Connect app. The app will guide placement of each Samsung Connect Home device throughout a home for optimal performance. Samsung Connect simplifies smart device management with automatic connectivity, convenient device integration and easy set-up. Using Samsung Connect, users can easily see and manage connected devices, set parental controls and allow guest access.
The Samsung Connect Home Smart Wi-Fi System came with three-pack or single. The three pack system is ideal for homes up to 4,500 square feet. A single Connect Home is for homes up to 1,500 square feet. For homes with high bandwidth demands for gaming, streaming or home offices, a single Samsung Connect Home Pro also available. It supports up to five Samsung Connect Home devices at once for 7,500 square feet coverage.
Automatic firmware updates provide additional safeguards to keep smart devices secure.
Samsung Connect Home is the only whole-home Wi-Fi system that works as a SmartThings Hub, making it compatible with hundreds of Works With SmartThings devices. With no monthly fees or subscriptions, Samsung SmartThings makes it easy to automate and manage your smart home, and gives you the flexibility to expand your smart home with lights, door locks, cameras, voice assistants, thermostats and more.
The coverage and wireless speed is much better and stable which you will get it in most of the latest mesh wi-fi routers. The internet connection is pretty stable and no reboots at all. I was able to perform most of the basic settings using phone app. Port forwarding can be done for each device using the app. Parent control can be handled easily with rules.
However, there are few limitations on router configuration using phone app. There is no way to configure static ip for specific device which is needed for NAS drives, Plex Remote access etc.
The number of devices conntected to the router is showing wrong numbers and some of the devices not even appearing even though it is connected in the network. I had 20+ devices connected in my network with old router. With Samsung Connect Home, it is showing only 12 devices. After some research, I found out that all wired devices connected using a switch, not showing in Devices on network section. I am sure that this issue will be addressed by Samsung soon.
I am impressed with the elegant design and performance on this router. I strongly believe that Samsung took right step to get into Router / Home automation market. With Samsung Connect Home, they will achieve the same.

Great workout headphones, value for the money

from Chander AZ
At first I was a bit skeptical to get these headphones. These headphone comes with multiple different rubber ends to fit just about every imaginable sized ear, and I quickly found ones that were compatible with mine.
After few hours of usage, I'm happy to report that these headphones exceeded my expectations. The quality of sound to surprise every time I wear them. They are light and comfortable. Setup with phone using bluetooth pairing is seamless.
I have used to attend phone calls and sound quality for calling as well. The battery says it gets 12 hours and easily getting 16. The noise canceling is working extremely well. They are comfortable to use for a long period. The range is really good (around 40 feet) between my phone and the headphones. The buttons are simple to use.
I am glad that I saved $50 to 100$ and went with these over other workout headphones. This headphone is good for workout, biking, construction, hands free, headphones. I will definitely recommend these to anyone in the market for this type of headphones.

I bought this router to replace my perfectly working Asus RT-66R model. I wanted to change my router just to get bit more range in my new 2200sqft home. Prior to getting this router I have tried one of the best range extender Ampedwireless AE-20. It’s range was excellent, but connection was very much degraded and struggled to get connected at times though it was set up to clone settings from original router.
So, after reading few positive reviews on BBY and mixed reviews on amazon, I decided to give new Nighthawk R8000 a try. I am happy with its slightly improved range than Asus and very much disappointed with its 2.4Ghz performance. I have more than 15 years of network experience and I really don’t bother tech support unless until it is really out of my hand and hardware specific.
Here I am trying to do a fair comparison with two routers I have (Asus & Netgear) + sign means “better” and – signs means “poor”
Wired Connection:
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency
+ RT-66R has excellent wired connection which works at par with Motorola SB6141’s consistency

Wireless 2.4 Ghz:

+RT-66R has excellent connection with 80~Mbps out of my actual 120~Mbps ISP feed at channel 6 with 450 Mbps capability.
- R8000 is a complete failure in terms of 2.4Gh network
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
I have tried all available channels and found it degrade my 120~Mbps connection 1-14 ~ Mbps
At this point I called customer service and it sounded like they kind of aware of the issue. With minimal trouble shooting and changing the channels to their recommended channels (01, 06, 09 & 11), there was no improvement. So they asked me to degrade from 600Mpbs to 289Mbps and it started working.
So technically now their claim of 3200Mbps became 2911Mbps.
Access Control:
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
+ RT-66R has fairly good access control capabilities. You can schedule what time of the day each device can access the internet. This feature is important for me as I found it is very useful with kids on top of parental control settings.
- R8000 access control only let you allow or deny connecting a particular device. You cannot decide what time it should be able to connect. – Major drawback for me.
Parental Control:
- RT-66R has poor parental control settings, but with an option to point DNS to OpenDNS we can achieve better parental control settings with their FREE offerings.
+R8000 – also use OpenDNS but with dedicated service assigned to netgear so that you can add bypass account also which can’t be done with OpenDNS free account. This is the only additional benefit I found with this router so far compared to RT-66R.
VPN:
+ RT-66R is also able to use OpenVPN with mobile access with their free App. I was abe to access local network using iOS and Android devices with no issues.

+R8000 – very useful feature if you have your router in bedroom or other place you don’t like lot of flashing lights. Can be accessed via web GUI and with a dedicated hard button at the rear of the router.

- R8000 – could not find any documentation about cloud access. Only information I found is about ReadyCloud and it is dedicated to Netgear NAS only. Another major setback for an expensive router.
Web GUI:
Though Netgear has a simple interface and easy to follow GUI, it lack modern look and feeling. I like Asus GUI better.

- Netgear – Though I received prompt customer service when I called, it was shocking to learn that the phone support is only available for 90 days of purchase, then you have to pay PREMIUM subscription to get phone support.
CONCLUSION:
I have thoroughly tested all important feature that I need. Rest of the features are generic to me and I am not bothered much about them.
I am sure this router with Dual 5.0Ghz network will be very useful for those who have new wireless devices. For me I have a lot of devices that depends on 2.4Ghz frequency such as smoke detectors, thermostat, laptop that connects to NAS for backup etc. and degraded and unreliable 2.4Ghz network make it absolutely worthless considering the amount I spent on this router.
I am seriously thinking to take this back to the store. I don’t see any point in spending almost double amount of money to get a couple of benefits and a lot of drawbacks and pay for a premium to get their phone support if needed to an overpriced product.
I would not recommend this router at its current price and it is unable to meet its original claims and comes with a premium phone support after 90 days.

5 out of 5Outstanding 2-in-One Tablet from Samsung

There are not much Android tablets with premium specs in the market compare to Apple iPad, but Samsung is not ready to give up the fight with the release of high-end Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 with significantly updated specs, HDR screen and improved S Pen support. It is equally positioned with iPad Pro.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 screen has a 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display with support of HDR content and it matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution. Samsung Tab S3's screen size and resolution have not changed with pixel density of 264 pixels per inch. It has Super AMOLED display, for brighter, richer colors. The main upgrade over the Tab S2 is HDR content support. There is not a huge amount of HDR content yet, but once there is this it will be really helpful with Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. Another big change for this model is that there's no 8.0-inch option, Tab S3 only coming in a 9.7-inch size.
Tab S3 has metal and glass build with similar size to Tab S2. Samsung upgraded the design for the Galaxy Tab S3, replacing the soft plastic back of the Tab S2 with a glass one, but retaining the metal frame. The overall appearance like an oversized Samsung Galaxy S7.
While cameras are never the highlight of a tablet, Samsung Tab S3 came with 13MP back side camera and 5MP front facing camera with LED flash. It does include an autofocus and can record 4K video at 30fps.Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 came with 6,000mAh one and it can last up to 12 hours of video playback. I have used more than 10 hours without any issues. It supports fast charging via USB Type-C, so you shouldn't be waiting too long.
Tab S3 runs the latest major version of Android 7.0 overlaid with Samsung's own interface. It came with quad-core Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 only comes in one size - 32GB, but it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 256GB if you need more storage for apps and games.
Beyond the core specifications, Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is packed full of features, including support for Samsung's S Pen stylus. This is the latest and greatest version of the stylus, with a smaller 0.7mm tip and increased pressure sensitivity. It also works with S Pen features like Screen Off Memo, which lets you take down notes without turning the screen on or launching an app. The Tab S3 also supports keyboards using a pogo connection, so all that along with the screen specification make this remarkably similar to the iPad Pro 9.7.
It has 4 stereo speakers tuned by AKG promises distortion free sounds. It came with fingerprint scanner and it supports Samsung Flow, which can sync notifications between your tablet and Galaxy handset.
I have listed the key specifications below
• 9.7-inch 1536 x 2048 Super AMOLED display
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash
• 6,000mAh battery with fast charging
• Supposedly lasts through 12 hours of video on one charge
• Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB of RAM
• Android 7.0 out of the box
• Just 32GB of storage, but microSD support of 256GB
• Supports S Pen stylus and keyboards
• Four stereo speakers tuned by AKG
• Fingerprint scanner
• Supports HDR content
• Matches the iPad Pro 9.7 in size and resolution
• A metal and glass build
• Similar size to Tab S2 but thicker and heavier
• 13MP rear camera with autofocus
• 5MP front-facing camera with LED flash

It is one of the best android tablet with premium features and equally matching iPad Pro. It worked really well with Samsung Book Cover Keyboard for accurate and comfort typing.

Hi Malack,
Apps can be downloaded from Google Play or Samsung Store. If you are looking for side loading apps from 3rd party, you can do that as well. It is similar like S2 with upgraded features.

I currently have the Netgear NightHawk router. Will this be better than that, and should I get rid of that one?
Yes. It is much better than X6 or X8. I am getting 300+ mbps in all over the places in my house.
