binhex Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Best purchase for me - probably the TP-Link Deco S4, i love the ability to have wi-fi throughout my property, its solid and works great, quite pleased with it. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I've also got the Deco's. Great for painting your house / outdoors with wifi. Unfortunately, they do have issues with regards to the firmware. Most glaring is that if you don't happen to live in the middle of nowhere then it may be an issue that the network is always on a certain channel and cannot be changed, even if there are empty channels present. One complaint I do have though other than the channel issue (doesn't really affect me) is that I have to disable roaming on certain devices within the Deco software in order for some devices (eg my Ring Doorbell and my Alexas) to be able to connect at all.

Squid Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't trade them at all. That absolute best thing I find is that I get a notification every time one of my mooching neighbours latch onto my guest network. One click and poof they're gone. I used to paint everything with multiple routers etc. Switching to the mesh network on a Deco made my life so much easier. Quote Link to comment
tjb_altf4 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Pretty happy with my UPS purchase, power has been a little choppy this year with brownouts or blackouts at least once a month. I picked up a Cyberpower PR2200ELCDSL to support multiple systems and I then control it in the Unraid UPS panel (apcupsd) and it has worked a treat. Quote Link to comment
SpencerJ Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Haters gonna hate but AirPods are probably my most used and best electronic purchase this year. I used to be a hater too but they are great. Happy New Year! Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 We bought the kids an Oculus Quest 2. I thought it was meh until I've played some games on it. OMG its amazing. This is how I did mine. I printed the mounts on the side to hold the new headset, but its so slick. https://uploadvr.com/frankenquest-2-quest-2/ Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 For me it was the Dolby Atmos Home Theater upgrade. Happy New Year! 1 Quote Link to comment
