Our Opinion
So if you’re like most families, you have multiple TVs, a gaming system, security cameras… you name it, if it’s wireless, you need an awesome wireless router to make it all work smoothly. I’ve been a long time fan of TP Link’s products and all 3 of my last routers have been from them. This works great to ensure every TV in the house can be on at the same time (if needed) and stream something different without lag or interference while my security cameras are keeping us safe saving video to the cloud and alerting us of any potential dangers.

Our Opinion
As an Amazon Prime member, it was a no brainer going with the Amazon Fire Stick. I originally started with the Roku sticks, but switched since I can control these through my Prime membership with having another account to manage.
The best option they have going is the WiFi 6 Fire Stick as it allows for faster communication with your wireless router. It doesn’t require a WiFi 6 Router, but it certain helps to have one (see above) if you want the best possible streaming experience. They have adapters for their Fire Sticks that upgrade the power and allow for a WIRED connection experience if your TV is located near your router or if you wire your own connections throughout your house like I do.
Made for Amazon | USB Power Cable
Eliminates the Need for AC Adapter
Eliminates the need to find an AC outlet near your TV by powering Amazon Fire TV Stick directly from your TV’s USB port.
Includes special power management circuitry that enhances the peak power capability of the USB port by storing excess energy and then releasing it as needed.
Our Opinion
We have bought these for all of our Firesticks. One of the main reasons is that it shuts the Firestick off when you turn off your TV. If you use the AC adapter, the Firestick remains on even when the TV is off. Now this does require us to install updates manually sometimes, since the device isn’t powered to complete automatic updates, but a few minutes of inconvenience doesn’t bother us.

Our Opinion
We were looking for something that didn’t take up a lot of space and improve the sound quality from our TV. We also wanted to take advantage of the HDMI ARC/eARC connection for improved audio qaulity and ease of setup. We added the soundbar to our Firestick remote controls, so it controls the volume and turns on/off with the TV and Firestick.
This soundbar exceeded our expectations. Very compact, it sits in front of our TV and doesn’t block the picture. The subwoofer is amazing and you can feel the bass when watching action movies or sports. They have a couple models so you can select the one that’s right for you, but if you need a space saver with great sound, pick this model, you won’t be disappointed.
