This Past week I received from Best Buy product review new Philips hue White and Color Ambiance Starter kit (former generation 1 starter kit but improved) to revision. Installs easily, the A19 bulbs have been upgraded from 600 to 800 lumens, providing brighter light. My husband installed the lights in seconds after the Netgear® Nighthawk™ DST Router and DST Adapter was installed.
We loved the easy of this system we were able to add the other light like the Hue G. Which my daughter fell in love with.
Works with Apple HomeKit (iOS users) so you can control your lights with Siri voice control on your iPhone. Turns your existing hue lights into HomeKit controllable lights and discover exciting new use cases through 3rd party home kit apps that also control door locks thermostats and more.
Also OpenHome certified, so you can create your own ecosystem
The hue Go is a portable, completely wire free smart light that offers a lot of versatility for any lighting need. Take it or put it anywhere: plug it in or carry it with you with up to 3 hours of rechargeable battery life. Although Hue go is not waterproof, it is designed to withstand high humidity. Control your way – with the on/off switch on the light, or via the hue app (hue bridge required). Use it as personal reading light in a dark room, create bright lighting in a room with little existing lighting or no electrical outlets, use it as a kid’s night light, or take it outside to provide ambiance on the patio. hue Go helps you to wake up fresh and energized in the morning with deep dimming. The gradually increasing light intensity gives you the feeling you are waking up from sunrise – gently and naturally
My daughter was digging the Hue Go We were having some homework drama, simply bu reducing the lights to a more somber color put her in a better mood to face Long division.
My daughter also took the lamp to sleep. Dont worry I moved it to a table top.

Netgear® Nighthawk™ DST Router and DST Adapter with Geek Squad included – new and exclusively at Best Buy
This is a brand new router that was exclusively developed between Netgear, an industry leader in the networking world, and Best Buy, to help provide consumers with an easy, all-in-one solution to support their home’s connected devices. As the number of Wi-Fi dependent products increase in a home – the average US household has 7 “connected devices” – from smart phones (often several in a home), to tablets, to laptops, to computers, and Wi-Fi printers, this puts a strain on the home’s network, especially the router. With the interest in online gaming and 4k TVs, connected devices such as smart thermostats, plus the need to stream shows from Netflix or hulu, it places even more demands on the network. Many households may experience slow Wi-Fi, dropped calls, or experience “dead zones” – which could be improved upon with an “AC” router, Wi-Fi extenders and expert help.
The AC1900 comes with one DST, or “Dead Spot Terminator,” adapter – to eliminate your Wi-Fi dead zones; place it in an area where you get little/no reception, to improve Wi-Fi access. Additional adapters can be purchased for other dead zones. This high-performance router was built to support 10+ connected devices – you can also prioritize devices for streaming videos or music, and included advanced features for lag-free gaming. Best Buy makes it easy with this new high performance Wi-Fi router, which includes a Wi-Fi extender and Geek Squad Set Up and Support via phone & web, for one full year. The Geek Squad service via phone & web allows customers to call or get help 24/7 whenever they want, vs. the need to schedule an appointment.
