Just installed my new mesh network Orbi yesterday and by all measures, this thing "rocks!" The installation was super easy. The design/look of the towers is elegant and smaller than I expected. Most importantly, the network signal throughout my house is excellent. I'm experiencing the fastest upload and download speeds I've ever seen on all my devices. Using Speedtest on my phone I actually pinned the download needle to as high as it would allow. All my connected devices work better, especially my Slingbox. The Orbi is not inexpensive, but neither is my monthly Internet service and to no longer experience buffering on all my devices from every corner of my home and my yard it's certainly worth the price.
The charger is great. It has a few charging problems and doesn't last long at all. 15,000mAh isn't a guarantee after a month of using.
Like others have said, I had problems with the download/installation. As part of the download, the program tried to initialize but appeared to hang-up. Even after 30 minutes, there was no warning message on the screen. After reading the other reviews, I remembered that I had this same problem last year. The solution was to uninstall the old version of Norton and then install the new version.
pretty good. solid construction. water proof. i'm not a messenger, so i don't need the 5,000 little pockets on the front. ample space on the inside with some good pocket segmentation. I was hoping that it would align more diagonally across my back compared to sitting at the hip, but i supposed that's my fault for not looking into it more. the clip to secure the bag works, but sometimes you'll catch it on something and it will go loose pretty easily.
If you are like me, then you have read your fair share of car seat reviews, visited several blogs, visited a baby store or two and have probably narrowed down the field to a few car seats. My field was narrowed down to this and the Britax Advocate. I bought this seat for my 8 month old daughter that is outgrowing her Graco Snugride 35 LX and the deciding factors (other than safety) were comfort and color. Not color because I worried about matching my car interior, but the fact I live in the deep, humid, hot south and just the thought of strapping my baby in a BLACK car seat in the middle of summer makes me sweat. So I give Maxi-Cosi 5 stars for the light Brown Earth color. We are planning a 12-hour road trip soon, so comfort was important too. Britax lacked the lighter color option and the seat did not seem to be as cushy or have the amount of head support for a sleeping baby. Installation was easy. I opted to install it using my seatbelt instead of the latch method. It took me about 10 minutes and it was tight and secure with little-to-no wobble or movement. My only issue with installation is only having three recline positions, and only two recline position for rear facing. I ended up on level 3 to keep it as level with the ground, but it is definitely not allowing my front driver seat in my 2013 Honda Accord to accommodate my husband any longer. I will give comfort 4 stars out of some disappointment. I did find it necessary to remove the nice cushion from around the crotch buckle (since you MUST have it in the 1st or 2nd slot for rear facing). It was either that or remove the extra seat cushion as I could not find a happy medium with the correct harness tightness and being able to buckle it without causing tears from my daughter and frustration for myself. I opted to keep the seat cushion for our long road trip and as she grows we may add the crotch buckle cushion back when we can move it to the third slot or not have the need for extra seat cushion. The super sized headwings are perfect for sleeping (and protection). As with most car seats there is some difficulty with releasing the crotch buckle as well as the chest clip...but that just ensures me that my little one will not be easily freeing herself as I drive down the highway. Overall I am pleased and hope time proves this was the right choice.
