    sort of the same as the way old dect cordless phones worked.... but for wifi.

    Old DECT phones didn't work like that, newer ones do ;)

    The new Echo Studio is also VERY tempting

    That’s a great price, but I was really disappointed with the sound. It replaced a Sonos 3 and it’s no way near as good. Maybe that’s not a fair comparison, since it’s in more in line with the Sonos 1’s price point, but the 3 was ancient so you’d hope things had moved on. Alexa is great in it in fairness and a joy to not to use Sonos’ app. I’ll probably pick up a Sonos move to replace it though.

    Head over to the android forum, there's a thread about getting the most from the firestick. I have a smart TV but use the firestick for all smart functions.

    Have you a link to thread please

    Don't think their is a better option for a 3 piece mesh system in this price range.

    Plenty of good alternatives out there.

    I have a smart tv and even though it’s great that it’s all built in I’m still debating whether or not to buy a stick or a box for a less clunky experience

    Do. I have a smart TV and it's nowhere near as smooth or functional

    Firestick is much more versatile than your standard Smart TV imo. I have 2 Smart TVs but I have Firesticks plugged into them and use them instead.

    Also, as others have mentioned, why pay €100+ for Sky tv when you can (allegedly) pay 10% of that and get pretty much every station from all over the world with IPTV (allegedly).

    Because if it's sport, you're always a minute behind. Allegedly. :D

    Amazon just announced that Prime Day will kick off from the 13th of October this year. Think it’s usually in July but later this year because of COVID-19. Hopefully there will be a few decent deals this year.

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/primeday

    I have Nighthawk Netgear Router would this work with this as well?

    Also what is the difference between Firestick and Firestick Light?

    the euro amazon stores will also have prime day deals, but obviously you need to be a prime member for each country. (pity they don't do pan-amazon prime membership. Also, the prices for euro prime are less than UK - Spains is only €37 per year!)

    They all have a 30 day free trial, but you need to have a payment address in that country.

    Except Germany - I was able to join Amazon.de prime this morning for free for 30 days.

    edit : just joined France prime too.



    How many times can you ‘join’ the 30 days free programmer. ??? I think I joined before to get something but it fell thru. Not sure if I can get another free 30 days

    The fire stick light doesn’t support Dolby Atmos sound and has a different remote with less tv controls. That’s the major difference really.

    Yeah I've a Roku which I plan on replacing. and I find it reasonably good but it's not as clean and smooth as Firestick. But both are better than the Smart TV's.

    Might be useful for anyone changing a TV - I got a Hisense Roku TV to replace a broken Philips "Smart" TV

    Philips was awful. Hisense can add channels/sources to home screen for NowTV, Amazon, Netflix, Disney+, Deezer, YouTube & more with no boxes, sticks, dongles or remotes to worry about

    How would they compare to the Deco M4?

    Wouldn't mind an upgrade, if they are an upgrade.

    eero would be a bit better, but, unless you want to tinker stay with what you have is coverage is good.

    the next option for an upgrade would be something like ubiquity nano hd

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ubiquiti-nanoHD-Access-UAP-NanoHD-MU-MIMO/dp/B07BYR6XDW/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=nano+hd&qid=1601374446&sr=8-1

    but, that gets into "procumer" level stuff

    They generally let you do it once a year on the same account but theres nothing stopping you making a new account each time.

    If you join say the FR site is delivery still free even to Ireland?

    Deco is excellent very simple setup. Plug and play following the Deco app. Very customisable also. I use three of them in a farm house with 2 feet walls in places and has given me really good coverage throughout the house.
    Couldn't recommend more. Particularly if you get the 3 pack for £99.

    I’m hoping the Kindle goes on sale.
    In the market for a new one and already bought the official case for it a few weeks ago(even though I don’t have a kindle to put into it! Older ones don’t fit it).

    Does this Ubiquiti create a Mesh?

    I'm eyeing the Synology combo RT2600ac/MR2200ac and the Netgear Orbi RBK50, and counting on Camelcamelcamel :D

    Yes but iirc it creates it on a 5GHz channel only. So throughout over distance won't be great, probably.

    Whats the chances of a discounted Nintendo Switch?

    Probably zero discount on Prime Day.
    During Black Friday last year, there was a small discount on Nintendo Switch Bundles (console + game), but I don't remember there being any discount on the console if bought alone.

    yea the ubiquiti stuff meshes, but, the mesh is a replacment to your current routers wifi, not in adition to it.

    so for my purpouses, i have 3 nano hds, one wired connection which the other 2 mesh to, with the isp routers wifi turned off.

    they were all wired, but two were only on cat5 so speeds were limited, its faster for me on mesh.

    if your intrested in it, check out :

    it can be a bit ... dry...

    to be clear , if you dont want to tinker, dont get the ubiquity stuff

    Hopefully they discount the annual prime membership again this year for prime day. Can anyone recall how much it was last year?

    £59.99 - waiting on it too. I've only ever bought prime on prime day, and was paying the monthly 7.99 for August and Sept.
