The Onn Google TV 4K Streaming Device: A $20 4K Set-Top Box That’s Surprisingly Good!

[…]other streaming box I’ve tested (plus my TV) was able to connect to my Wi-Fi network from downstairs. I then unplugged everything, took it back downstairs, and it was still able to see my Wi-Fi network. So, it only needed the stronger Wi-Fi signal during the pairing process. That’s good because the unit would have been useless to me because it has no Ethernet connector to fall back on! The rest of the setup process went fine, although there was a lot to set up, including choice of photo gallery, granting various permissions, selecting male or female voices, and an […]

[…]it in the open and see if that fixes your problems. I actually keep mine upside-down so that warm air can escape from the cooling holes. The Nuclear Option: Factory Reset If none of these are working, then you can do a factory reset which will erase all of your recordings. To do that, hold the reset button on the bottom of the unit for seven seconds. The blue light will flash. When it turns solid, you can let go. But again, THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR RECORDINGS!

Verizon 5G Home Internet Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

[…]try to debug it with their customer service; it probably won’t help. Do not cancel your previous Internet provider when you order Verizon 5G Home Internet. Keep it for at least the first 30 days of having 5G. Are there any hidden fees? I have not encountered any. I pay exactly $50/month for my plan (which is grandfathered in at 300 Mbps), with auto-pay. I didn’t have any activation fees either. Is it a good deal? For me, it was a lot cheaper than cable.  I was paying $80/month for cable so I’m saving $30/month. The coax cable in my […]

How to Fix Verizon 5G Home Internet Frequent Loss of Connection and Rebooting

[…]Internet-connected devices like Ring cameras won’t work during that time. If you want to use an Internet-connected timer, just be aware that it will lose Internet access when it shuts off your gateway, so make sure it works without Internet! 6. Do a Factory Reset Honestly, I haven’t found many cases online where this solved the reboot problem, but doing a factory reset is a necessary part of debugging any processor-driven product. It’s easy to do, and it can solve the problem where your gateway stops working altogether. Give it a try. All you have to lose are your settings, […]

Tablo Generation 4 Review: My #1 DVR Pick!

[…]Internet is down. Also, with the old Tablo, you could still watch TV and your recordings with no Internet. Because of this, the need for Internet seems like an artificial requirement, perhaps to gather data on our viewing habits, or due to contractual obligations with the streaming service providers. In the comments below, reader Wade points out that you could add a splitter to your antenna cable and feed the other antenna signal directly to your TV for viewing when there is no Internet. Thermal Management Some users had heat issues with the previous generation Tablos, causing some to even […]

[…]carrier if you are looking to switch cell phone service, or if you’re considering wireless home Internet service, or if you already have wireless home Internet and you want to optimize the placement of your gateway. About Cellmapper Cellmapper.net is the tool that I recommend to find cell towers near you. It uses crowd-sourced data to generate a map showing cell signal strength and tower locations. Anyone with an Android phone can get the Cellmapper app to help gather data. The site is completely free to use, but since it is crowdsourced, there is no guarantee of 100% accuracy. It […]

How to Use Your Own Router with the Verizon 5G Home Internet Gateway (and Enable Passthrough Mode)

[…]So, I found it necessary to plug in my trusty Netgear Wi-Fi router into my Verizon 5G Home Internet gateway. The Easy Way Technically, you could simply plug your router into one of your Gateway’s Ethernet ports. As long as the Wi-Fi names on your router are set to different values than your Gateway, that setup should work for everyday web browsing. But, that means your Gateway is unnecessarily transmitting a Wi-Fi signal. It’s best to turn off Wi-Fi on your cube by accessing the Gateway at //192.168.0.1 and turning off both 5GHz and 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi. I actually used my […]

Use This Hack to See Your Verizon 5G Home Internet Signal Strength (ASK Firmware Version 222656)

[…]a necessary feature of any 5G home internet system. Unfortunately, the web portal for Verizon 5G Internet Gateway models that begin with ASK-NCQ1338 (see the bottom of your unit for your model number) with firmware version 222656 do not display signal strength. If you have an ASK unit with version 3.2.0.21 or later, this hack is not necessary.

How to Save Money on Internet Access in 2024

[…]and be careful about data limits that could really raise the cost. 9. Use Old-School Dialup Internet for Free There are some Internet providers like Net Zero and Juno that give ten free hours of dialup access (remember that screeching noise when connecting?) per month. Obviously, these services are going to be slow because they are dial-up, and they have big ads that make them even slower. They can be hard to connect to during peak times. Canceling can be a bit of a pain, sometimes requiring a phone call. But, if you really can’t afford anything else, these services […]

Verizon 5G Home Internet: The Good and the Bad. My Full Review in 2024

[…]5G wireless. We’ll see what happens, but I’m betting that 5G will be more reliable than cable Internet. My cable Internet would go down at least a few times a year, for a few hours at a time. I don’t blame the cable company for that though; it’s just the nature of physical cables that they are prone to breakage if a tree knocks down a telephone pole, or whatever. And It takes time for the cable company to find the fault, and send a truck out to fix it. A few hours of downtime is pretty good. Another thing […]

The unit won’t work without an Internet connection You can connect it to your home network via wired Ethernet, or wirelessly through Wi-Fi, which is great if you don’t want to run cable from your router to your DVR. Once connected, you’ll be guided through a pretty standard set of pages where you enter your Wi-Fi network password using a letter picker (unless you’re connecting directly via Ethernet cable) and scan for channels. On my unit, a software upgrade was required, causing […]

Review: The AirTV 2 Broadcast TV DVR

[…]to support it and referred me to another site that was still selling it. they’re blowing out the AirTV 2 and AirTV Anywhere at massive discounts. So, although you can get a great deal now, I’d say, purchase at your own risk because no one can say how long these products will be supported by Sling. My original article follows. The AirTV 2 is a two-tuner broadcast TV tuner that connects to your home network by Wi-Fi or Ethernet. The addition of an external USB hard drive (not included) allows viewing of live TV or recorded shows on a website […]

Six Surprising Things Modern TVs Can Do

[…]almost any content that you can get on your phone. Samsung is not the only brand that has TVs with AirPlay. Some Sony, LG, Vizio, Insignia, and Roku TVs also feature Airplay. 3. Integrate streaming channels with broadcast/cable TV channels In the Samsung channel guide, when you go past the last cable or broadcast TV channel, you’ll go into Samsung’s TV Plus free streaming channels, which look just like regular TV channels. There’s no real distinction between cable/broadcast channels and Internet streaming channels on this TV. The above screenshot of the channel guide shows that once you get past the […]

Should You Upgrade Your TV?

[…]my mom set up a smart TV, for example. Because my new Samsung is so tightly integrated with the Internet and has so many features, the user interface is more complex than on TVs from, say 2010. The main thing is that the remote is now a 4-way keypad and you basically cursor around the screen to do things. If you’re comfortable with that, it’s fine, but it could be a turnoff for users who are accustomed to simply using the channel up and down buttons. The new Samsung remote control has fewer buttons and looks simpler than my old […]
