Hello Richard, Wow! Thank you for the feedback on the TV Plus series.
Interesting about the range extenders and Sonos. My personal opinion on routers is that people start to favor a brand or model and simply stick with it. I am certain that Net Gear and other brands are excellent. However, I started with Linksys and know the OS, by heart, and so see no need to switch as long as the brand continues to update.

Apple TV plus is excellent. I just watched the first three episodes of Hijack and am impressed. We just bought a new Wi-Fi router, an Archer 8a I think by TP-Link. It greatly increased our download speed. And I believe gives us better coverage. We cannot use range extenders because our Sonos sound system doesn't link extenders.

Second, Happy Independence Day for those of us in the US. 1. So I finally decided to give Apple One a try. I have been resistant to it because I do not need all of the features included in the plan but, quite frankly, the billing is better when bundled. I have to admit that being able to read the lyrics of songs that are playing, in Apple Music, is very, very nice. Here is a question: Is it possible to place VoiceOver focus such that as the lyric being sung is automatically read out by VO? 2. With regard to Apple Fitness Plus: Any suggestions as to how best to get started using the features in conjunction with my Apple Watch? 3. Today, for the first time, I finally added a second card to Apple Pay. I must say that I am extremely relieved that selecting the non-default card, at time of purchase, is so easy. I had been reluctant to add a second card, for just that reason. 4. Since I now have access to TV Plus, I guess I will give some of these, apparently, excellent new series a try. I am looking forward to watching Highjacked and Silo. 5. I was just thinking that all of my interaction with the world, in terms of technology, is done via Apple products; accept for my two remaining hardworking and beloved PCs; one that is still running Windows 7 The Windows 7 PC is not connected to the internet. 6. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Android devices but I cannot imagine using them as a primary means of navigating my life. 7. Although a day late and a dollar short, with regard to the thread that asked about good WIFI routers, I prefer Linksys routers and range extenders. In fact, I purchased 2 new range extenders for my home, just last week. I was delighted to discover that when you connect to these devices, for the first time, on an iOS device, the device's built-in web interface automatically launches, prompting you for the required info. Very, very, impressive. In fact, now that I think about it, these new devices can tell you when they are in the best location, relative to other Linksys devices, on the same network. How wonderful technology can be; and the best part? We have only scratched the surface on all that is to come. Finally, I hope you are all doing well and I do hope you will reply to this thread reporting your own personal Apple-related updates, also.
