Solid System, Challenging to Setup
on August 23, 2021
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Pierre, SD
BullGuard - Internet Security 2021 Edition (3 Devices) (1-Year Subscription) - Android, Mac, Windows Is a great security option for both PC and Macs when you need a complete security protection option for your computer. Recently, even the impenetrable iOS system has been shown to be vulnerable to attacks so now is the time to get security installed.
I found this program to be excellent when it was finally installed, but frustrating to install and time-consuming. I had to manually removed the factory installed security system and the system mechanic program I subsequently installed for BullGuard to finally fully install. It took over 2 hours to complete the process thus the 3 * rating. If it had installed on its own without so much time investment on my part it would be a 5. This could simply be a one-off related to my previous software, but it seemed excessive either way!
PROS
- Solid and Secure
- Complete Internet Security in one product
- Love the VPN!! For both computers and smartphones!
- Easy to use once installed
- Plays nice with your CPU/GPU
CONS
- Difficult to install if you have other existing security software installed.
I would still recommend it, but beware it may take some effort depending on your configuration.

Excellent Feel, Amazing Precision!
on August 16, 2021
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Pierre, SD
The Arozzi - Favo Light Weight Gaming Mouse - Black offers an ultra-lightweight mouse with amazing precision for all your gaming needs! The hex hole design keeps your hand cool without the nasty sweaty palm feeling when the game gets intense! Excellent tactile feeling for palm and the scroll wheel. Multi-speed option for quick and responsive movement - set to your preference with a click - color-coded for quick reference! The LED options are numerous for this mouse offering solid or rotating colors, movement to match your personal style and likes.
The only issue I have with this mouse is that it is not balanced on the surface. It has a slight rock bottom-left to top-right and is a bit annoying. It doesn't seem to affect the precision or performance, but definitely noticeable.
PROS
- Ultra Lightweigh
- Hex Hole design keeps you cool
- LED options are awesome!
- Tactile response is well designed and thought out
CONS
- Doesn't sit flush to the surface (could be a one-off)

In came the AVerMedia - USB Conference Speaker Phone and my problems were solved. Simple plug-and-play design using USB-A to USB-C connectivity for fast transfer of data and sound.
PROS

Nearly Flawless Gaming Experience!
on July 8, 2021
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Pacific Beach, WA
The ASUS - ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition 15.6" FHD Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen 9-5900HX - 16GB Memory - Radeon RX 6800M - 512GB SSD is at the top of its game for gamers and their combined passion for gaming. Boasting Asus' ROG branding, with AMD's Ryzen processor, 16 GB of RAM and 1/2Gb of SSD Hard Drive space, this laptop is ready to take on any challenge!
I found this laptop to be nearly perfect in its looks and design. It was ultra fast, sleek, keyboard layout was excellent, accent designs and keys made for a near perfect experience. My only complaint is that for a full-size 15.6 screen, the keyboard did not offer the 10-key section. While this is not necessary for most gamers, I find this computer doubles for writing college papers or business when not being put through the paces. The missing 10-key pad is noticeable during these times!
While gaming is the true intent for this Asus ROG beast, I always take my testing a step further and put it up against Crypto-mining: the true test of a CPU/GPU in any computer. This one rocked for any homegrown mining venture. It out paced other tests and did not slow down. It handled all games and videos I put through it with no noticeable lags.
PROS
- ASUS name, brand, and recognition for excellence in the gaming market
- The design is awesome. Back panels are exchangeable if you do not like red as the default.
- LED accents are spot on
- Feels good during gaming and is responsive!
- Excellent Specs for nearly any use!
CONS
- I would liked to have had the 10-key pad. Just my personal choice!
GET THIS LAPTOP!!

from Pacific Beach, WA
The Swann - Enforcer™ 8-Channel, 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wired 1080p 1TB DVR Home Security Camera System - White offers amazing security with clear day and night vision to help bring security and peace of mind to your situation. Hi-Def video quality, warning light options, motion and heat detection, and smart connectability makes this 1TB security system a must have for many situations.
I found this product to be almost perfect for my needs. Added security and peace of mind whether at home or away. The ability to connect to Google or Alexa apps make changes to the system or requests as simple as a spoken word. The huge 1TB hard drive make storing events and retrieving them for reporting to authorities a breeze. The only issue I had was the wires. If this was a wireless system it would be 6 stars! The wires can be a bit challenging, especially if you have long distances to reach where you need visual coverages.
PROS
- SWANN quality, innovations, and design
- General DIY set up is possible without a technician
- Video quality is sharp and clear
- Day and Night vision
- Motion and Heat detection
- Warning lights on board cameras
- 1TB storage!
CONS
- Just the wires. Make this a wireless system and it is perfect!

Triple Threat is an understatement!

The Razer - Battle Bundle - DeathAdder V2 -BlackShark V2 X- Gigantus V2 M - Black is called a triple threat but that is an understatement. It is the ultimate gamer's bundle - the gamer's secret weapons! The Razer DeathAdder V2 is fast, responsive, and precise. The BlackShark V2 X provides unsurpassed audio sound and clarity giving you the edge when it is most critical. The Gigantus V2 M brings the mouse experience to the next level by removing nearly all resistance and provides a huge useable surface for movement and speed when it matters most.
I found this bundle to be amazing. Razer has really outdone themselves putting these 3 products together giving all serious games a unique edge on the competition. Everything works together in perfect harmony and the user experience is quick and responsive. Add the perfect Razor gaming keyboard and you are unstoppable. I loved the relevant customization available on the mouse. Not just the ability to change colors like most of the competition!
PROS
- RAZOR quality, innovation
- Perfect user experience
- The bundle works better than anticipate together
- Worth every penny
CONS
- Only thing missing is the matching keyboard to make this the ultimate gamer's bundle

Interesting Concept - works for those w/ Glasses
on June 9, 2021
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Pacific Beach, WA
The JLab - JBuds Frames Wireless Audio for Your Glasses - Black is a great concept that works great for those who wear glasses regularly. They eliminate the strain on your ears that regular and long day use of earbuds often give. While not completely private, the sound is focused directly towards your ears allowing minimal volume to go a long way!
I found these JLABs to be an interesting concept and reasonably executed. I like not having to put earbuds in and out all day long and could still answer the phone or connect to webcalls without having to change what I was already wearing - glasses. Biggest issues I see is that they seem to be designed specifically for wire-frames or extremely thin plastic frames. My normal plastic frames have had the units fall off when I take off the glasses occasionally and the plastic clips are stretched a bit farther than I am comfortable!
PROS
- JLAB quality and innovation
- Great overall sound
- Easy Bluetooth connection
- Quick charging, long battery life
- Bulky but not heavy!
CONS
- Not ideal for frames other than wire frames.
- Clips could potentially break easily.

Do you experience dropped calls, slow internet speeds, or the inability to send and receive texts while you’re on the road or enjoying some time off the beaten path? With the weBoost Drive Reach RV, you can improve your cell signal, wherever your adventures take you. Designed to enhance signal coverage for RVs, campers and trailers, especially in remote areas. The weBoost Drive Reach RV Cellular Signal Booster uses the latest technology to pick up an existing cell signal, route it the booster, then broadcast that amplified signal into your RV. To install the Drive Reach RV, first select where to mount the outside antenna using the provided ladder bracket. This is the most important step as it impacts the overall performance of the booster. Check that the antenna is at least 12 inches from all other antennas and openings to avoid interference. Use the modular mast extensions to ensure the antenna is above any obstructions. Once the outside antenna is installed, run the coax cable behind the weather stripping of an opening, like a door, window, or pop out slide, into your RV. Next, place the inside antenna on a table or countertop near where you plan to use your devices the most. Then run the coax cables to the booster. Plugin both the outside and inside cables. Now, plug in the power cord to the booster. Finally, plug the power cord into your vehicle’s power supply and turn on the booster. When the green light is on, it’s working. All coax cable needed for installation is provided. Stay connected, wherever you choose to explore, with the weBoost Drive Reach RV Cellular Signal Booster!

The Perfect RV Accessory!
on June 9, 2021
Posted by: IronHorseGPS
from Pacific Beach, WA
The weBoost - Drive Reach RV is a must for anyone living the RV life or for those who regularly take RV vacations. Too often you find yourself with limited or no cellular signal and have to play the arm in the air/climb the nearest mountain game to make a call. Not any more with the help of weBoost!
I found this product to be exactly what we needed as we transitioned from homeowners to full time RVers. Cell service in our area is spotty and can be very frustrating when you need to make a call or if you simply want to check emails. weBoost RV also helped overcome the signal loss often associated with being inside the RV vs outside. We gain at least 2 bars and now usually have full bars.
PROS
- weBoost brand, innovation, and quality!
- Easy Installation with minimal technical experience needed
- Does what is says - better cell signal!
CONS
- Not really weBoost's issue, but if there is not cell service where you are, you basically cannot expect this product to create something it cannot connect with. You will still find areas that you have no service! No product can create something from nothing however!

The right HDMI Port - Makes the Difference
January 22, 2015
Make sure you have the signal inputted into the high def HDMI port. We made this mistake at first and everything was choppy - especially fast motion. Switched to port 5 I think it is and the image is PERFECT even with fast motion!

NOT what the hype makes it out to be!
By DrHedrick from Western Washington
So far, after about 5 days, I am somewhat disappointed with the Galaxy S6. The battery life sucks compared to the Note 2 I am switching from. It is very laggy and definitely not "snappy" as per the many claims. Sometimes it must be restarted to be able to use it as the fingerprint unlock and alternate keyboard unlock do not work and the phone blacks out after 3 seconds. Only 32GB available onboard and I have the over half-way filled at this point and no way to expand it with a sealed phone. The fingerprint scanner is fair, but useless while driving. Hard to navigate or find previously easy to use settings. Notifications are frustrating since they all are OFF out of the box.
As a somewhat power user, I wish I had opted for the Note 4/Edge instead of settling for the S6.
The few Pros I can offer are the following...
1. The screen and clarity is amazing
2. The pictures and videos are equally amazing
3. Smaller and lighter than the Note series
4. Interesting new features, although I have not had time to fully explore them.
There are better options available if you can afford them... ie- Galaxy Note series!

A Great Idea crippled by horrible App
By OmieOne from East Stroudsburg, PA
This is a great idea. Three routers with a backhaul over Mu-MIMO. In theory could get good coverage for a house and for the people who get this to work I'm sure it is a great product. I have wasted over 3 hours over two days trying to get this router to work. I can only get one Node configured. The other two nodes won't connect event when I place the nodes right next to each other, I still get errors like out of range.
My experience has been very poor. Please note to setup and administrator this router IT REQUIRES and IOS or ANDROID DEVICE. This app is not in the Amazon store. I have a few of the cheaper Amazon tablets and figured while I wait for my new Android phone I could use that or worse case like EVERY OTHER ROUTER ON THE MARKET I could hardwire or connect to default wireless network and setup the routers via a web page. No. If you try Linksys Mocks you and tells you must use an app. I had to borrow an android phone to setup this up to test. I should have stopped there. I don’t mind apps and it would be fine if the app was useful. But it isn't. It was written under the assumption you would not have a problem, but the number of times I've tried to add Nodes to this and got told, hey you'll need a plug etc. It takes like 5 clicks to start the add a node process. Not ideal, esp. if you notice someone keeps trying stop making me over click. Seeing it say Uh-Oh press the red reset button and have it not really fix the issue just induces rage, or when it says it is setting up and just hangs, no good.
Also, when the nodes don't connect there is no useful information. The Linksys Range extender I have gave me more information via the web page then this app on if they are two far or close.
Additionally, I've tried resetting the system, via the reset button, but I have no idea if that is working since I can't connect to the router except via the app and it doesn't tell me if it is back to default connection. Additionally, this app connects to your Velop via an Internet cloud connection. It is faster when your connected via wireless to the node, but still have that little cloud connection, and I'm not a fan of having to connect to a Cloud service that I can't two factor protect and won't use the full keyboard of symbols forcing me to use an extra-long password to protect my router.
This setup experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth and crippled what could be a good idea. The single router when it was working I checked my phone, and I know it is using both 5Gz and 2.4Gz still have me a strong signal throughout my house and only needs one. But I was looking forward to using this to extend some LAN ports to a few places and saving me a few 50ft. cords I have in the house. With the backhaul it would have been able to cover the data my switches have.
Other cons no USB ports so if you have a printer or USB HDD on your current router, you'll need to consider other options if you go with this.
I really wanted to like it, but not providing a customer with additional tools or an easy way via the app to reset or control the router is frustrating. I know my next step is to try this weekend to contact customer service open a case and see if they can fix it. But even if they get it working, the fact that I must use an Android App, and can’t use a desktop to manage it, makes me worry what will happen if it goes wrong or worse since it is app only what will happen when someone finds a vulnerability in the cloud service Linksys uses to connect back to the routers and start messing with them. I wish they would at least have some form of two factor and allow for more complex passwords, or at the very least once the initial setup is done disable the external web connection cloud service and only allow the app to work when I’m locally connected.
For everyone who got this to work I’m sure this will be the product, just hope you don’t have an issue that requires troubleshooting.
On the one working node I did test the speed and it seemed over wireless my EA9500 was more consistent and a bit faster from the same source and destination for a large file copy, but the Velop was close enough that most people wouldn’t notice anything. I also tested the single working node with some online gaming, both in the other Ethernet slot and wireless and I didn’t notice any performance impact. Since I can’t get all the nodes I have tested true load to report, but I’m sure others who have it working will, and I’m sure once I work with Linksys support I can get this system working it will be fine and provide me with spotless coverage. Just the whole having to use an app, and what I feel a limited and poorly designed app, and have it forced down on us with no backup connection has left a sour feeling and makes me worry about what will happen in the future if these devices go wonky, I won’t be able to troubleshoot, reset/fix as quickly as I could in the past and to be fair to Linksys this is a new product just out and they may fix the app and hopefully add other versions or allow access to the web service locally to manage them. Just know that if you are looking for a mesh like network this isn’t a bad router, but it seems to be crippled by an over simplified app, that is limited to two platforms and requires Internet connectivity to full function.

Does this dock work with iPhone XS MAX with Apple wireless charging SmartCase ?

It "works" but won't work well based on my experience with it so far.

It just doesn't produce enough power to charge or keep the phone charged/

Two questions not answered on the web page for this device. 1. Is this product backward compatible for use with g and n Wi-Fi devices? 2. How many wired Ethernet/LAN connections are there in the base unit? Thank you.

You can use this system as it is backward compatible as most systems today are.
Compatibility from Linksys' website...
802.11a
802.11g
802.11n
802.11ac
802.11b

Each node is the same. It has 2 ethernet ports on the back. If you use a wired setup such as in an office, then you can use these ports one input and one output. If you are using as a wifi connected setup only, I have found that only the 1st (connected) node works for plugging other things into it.

I literally purchased the Linksys AC3200 Dual Band Wi-Fi Router 6 days ago for a 2600 sq. ft. home. Can I buy this system to SUPPLEMENT my new router or do I need to REPLACE my router with this system? GAMING IS IMPORTANT so no compromising please.

You can supplement your router with these, however, you would be adding a new network so-to-speak rather than creating a true mesh network.
You have a few options...
1. Return your AC3200 since you are within your 14 day window with Best Buy and get this system
2. Keep you AC3200 and set up the nodes as a separate network
3. Keep you AC3200 and set up the nodes as a bridge setting to expand your coverage range

How do I determine if I need one two or three satelites?

It all depends on the size of space you need to cover. Assume that if 3 covers a space of 4500 sq ft that 2 would cover 3000 sq ft. Thus, 1 would cover 1500 sq ft.
