ARRIS Surfboard Certified Cablevision SB6190

My Old Fellow J D say Buy the SB6183 instead of this model. i am going to repeat what another buyer said.. I am replacing this with the SB6183. I had the same exact problem as the other buyer posted exactly0 I am past my return date also so I am out $100. Do not buy this modem. This modem is running on a flawed Puma chipset and is plagued by continued disconnects. 8 of 10 times it recovers after 30-60 seconds, the other 2 you will have to bounce the modem. I did quite a bit of troubleshooting, first thinking this was my wifi router, then going after my ISP. but the issues turned to be due to this faulty modem. I'm unfortunately now outside of the return window, so I'm stuck with a $100 paper weight, as I'm buying a different modem to replace it. Why is this still being sold is beyond me. My Old Man Jared S. said DO NOT BUY, Intel Puma 6 Chipset Flawed. I have had the unit since August 2018, I was on firmware 9.1.93N a

Fire HD 8 Previous Generation 9th

My Old Man Candyland said Best Choice Fire Tablet for Quality, Size and Price. This review is for those stuck between purchasing a Fire 7 or a Fire HD 8 Tablet: Let me just get this off my chest first. I DO NOT RECOMMEND a Fire 7 AT ALL if your looking for a quality tablet that’s small and inexpensive like I was. The only reasons I can see anyone buying a Fire 7 is if it’s for a very, very young child as a starter tablet or if your an adult who will only use it to read books. Otherwise the Fire HD 8 is going to be your best bet. The Fire HD 8 is great quality for it’s size and yes even it’s price. It’s the perfect size unlike the Fire 7 which to me really isn’t much larger in screen size than my iPhone 6+. The Fire HD 8 comes with an ample amount of storage to be able to handle whatever updates it throws at you upon setup, and that’s just the 16GB. Anything below 16GB is not enough to handle device updates and allow for storag

My Old Man Elliot Benjamin say Better than $99. My OEM cord stopped working a few days after Christmas. My surface is only two years old almost to the day. Thanks, Microjunk! Lol. Anyway, I'm glad I could find an after market charger. Microripoff wanted to charge me 100 bone! This one seems almost identical and it comes with a nice velcro cable tie and a zipper bag for transport. So far, it's working great and I am very happy. My Old Fellow ESHTADIVA Talk Fast and perfect.. I needed a new cord for my Surface 5 fast. Lost it while traveling and I work each day. Being too busy to shop, I hit Amazon. This cord is just like my original one and comes with a case to travel with. That was a nice surprise...got it all overnight. Thank for your speedy service and I'm very happy.. My friend pablo varela experience Powerful charger 65W - Works as advertised. I bought this charger for a Surface Pro 4, this charger has higher wattag

All New Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet

My friend Tim experience So Slow!. I have been buying kindle fire kids editions for years now. I bought two of these new 8inch tablets. I have at least 6 others. from 7in to the new 10in version. THESE ARE BY FAR THE SLOWEST. I bought these to upgrade two older generation Fire HD 8s mostly because of the USB-C on this model. BIG MISTAKE! Amazon push an update to fix these! My friend Alifiya tell us Awesome for kids!!!. We got it today & its really nice.. Best part you can creat your kids profile & keep track of their screen time for reading, games & videos.. You also have your own profile where you can watch prime videos, use alexa & much more.. even you can download apps like netflix & youtube.. Its a great product with 2 year worry free warranty. 👍 My friend Matt tell us Overall decent tablet for a kid. Bought this to entertain our 20 month old with movies will on an upcoming road trip. Overall I feel like it

My Old Neighbor William D. tell us Decent at viewing webpages/office, not good for much else..  This laptop has one of the worst TFT panel I have ever seen, there is literally no proper viewing angles. You will get distortion looking straight on. The monitor was poorly calibrated with WAY too much gamma, luckily adjusting this with Windows is trivial, I will get back to 'S Mode' later on. You will not be able to use this monitor for watching movies with a lot of dark scenes. If you are looking at the screen dead on the outer regions of black will be distorted to LIGHT grey. The keyboard is decent, the 10-key is a bit difficult with the keys not being the right size on the side. The button press is tactile and usable and the feel is fine enough for typing blind, which you shouldn't have to do since the keyboard is back-lit. The touch pad is okay, it's actually a bit too sensitive, the lower corners can be used as butt

Apple 96W USB-C Power Adapter

My Fellow Uncle Ty said Nickel and dime death!. This product alone is useless out of the box! You also need the charging cord to actually connect it to your device. Apple sells that separately, for ANOTHER $20. You also have to plug this big brick directly in the wall/extension cord. The extension cord that also used to be included with this is also sold separately, for ANOTHER $20. Absolutely insane! Apple needs to rethink this! My Old Chap Johnny T say Don't forget to Buy Cable, It does not come with one. Extremely disappointed with apple oaths simple purchase, NO USB-C cable? really? People pay premium money for laptops, iPhones, iPad, when pushing an extra Power supply (One for home & one for work) no cable included! that sucks! My Old Man Scott Foster said Beware!!! No cable included. I know it states in the description text that the cable is sold separately. But it's not unreasonable to assume the cable is included

My Old Man Someone Who Cares About Product Quality said The ugly truth about eero from someone with corporate network experience.... I have tried so hard to like eero but there are serious flaws with the product and support. My first impression was outstanding, with nicely packaged products and a clean user interface. However, it's been all downhill from there. I tried eero with a large installation and devices kept failing. They would have either intermittent failures or permanent failures. I'm knowledgeable with networking and these were real issues. Support wouldn't respond to emails for well over a week! I called and they answered the phone, which was good, but they were rude and only told me to wait for a response to my email ticket since that had already been started. So I am supposed to just wait forever for email replies that never come? I think they know they have problems with their firmware and they a

All New Fire HD 8 Tablet

My Old Chap ✨ Sascha ✨ experience Great Tablet!. This is an excellent tablet. When you buy Amazon tablets, it should be known you’re NOT getting an Android tablet. You’re getting Fire OS. But, you can still get Google apps on this tablet by downloading an APK of the Google Play store (which doesn’t root it or mess with warranty). It was between the Fire 7 or this one, & I opted for the extra price for more storage, better screen, & bigger size. I bought this tablet at Best Buy to take with me on the go rather than my iPad Mini. This is an amazing little thing. It runs fast, has a decent screen, is responsive, & has a great battery life. Yes, it has ads on the lockscreen, but they don’t bother me. I use this tablet for drawing & it actually is very good for it. I also use it to watch YouTube videos, although the speaker is extremely weak (not a huge trade off for me, I use headphones the majority of the time). Bluetoo
