Fisher Price Linkimals


 Today's review is the Linkimals toy set by Fisher Price, these are a series of electronics toys that all have a bluetooth connection with each other and can sing, dance and do educational games with your kids. There are a bunch of different animals to choose from and they come in two basic sizes. 

The Small ones are a Moose and a Beaver

The larger ones include a hedgehog, sloth, panda, otter, penguin, lama, turtle, and a koala


Each of the toys are completely independent and you only need to have one to play with. However the real joy is collecting a few of them and getting them all to sync up. They then sing a variety of songs and dances that are easy for kids to sing along too. My daughters favorite song is when each of them sing about being friend and they all go around and introduce themselves. As you can hear not all of them are on the shelf and it looks like Panda and Otter are not on. The team has dozens of song and it seems the more of the set you have the more songs they can sing together. 



These are pretty moderately priced from $10 to $30 but be warned it does seem like as new ones come out the older ones get phased out. 


Here are some Amazon links for a few of them but they should all be easy to find

Koala $20 : AMAZON LINK

Penguin $25 : AMAZON LINK

Moose $8 : AMAZON LINK

One thing that is a bit of a pain is getting them all to sync when the kids want to play with them. You have to turn them all off, then back on one at a time and wait about 30-60 seconds. Most of the time they will sync up fine but every once in a while one or two of the toys refuse to link up, new batteries or just resetting them all again usually gets them to sync. 

Penguin and Sloth are the only two that move and dance so be sure to pick them up, sloth is one of the originals and is getting harder to find. 

All in all these are great toys at a reasonable price and I would definitely recommend them.

TP-Link EAP110-Outdoor V3 Review

 Short review for today, I needed to extend my wireless coverage to the back yard. My son likes to listen to music when we are playing outside and lets just say his music tastes are not on my vast library of stuff I was able to get on Napster. So we use youtube and spotify to play songs and a few data overages later I decided we needed an upgrade. I didn't need anything super fast just, 300Mbps speed is plenty fine but I did want to have coverage over the entire back yard. I also wanted a POE solution so I just had to worry about burring one cable and the low voltage makes it safer as well since I ended up mounting it on his playhouse.      Installation was a snap, a few screws into the mounting plate and plug in the CAT6 cable and it was installed. Once I verified I had power I logged into the  Omada APP and was able to find and setup the WAP in a few minutes.      Right now about 15% of the total network band width is using this access point so I'm pretty happy with it.
