This product is useless for me and wasted $180. It does not work for any wireless cards from the major wireless carriers, like AT&T, Verizon & Sprint. Totally disappointed!

Kensington 33050 8-Feet Retractable Phone Cord Review

Kensington 33050 8-Feet Retractable Phone Cord
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was not my first self retracting modem cable, but it was the best. Two features were key: the hub is lightweight, so it does not put stress on the cord when extended between the outlet and the computer; second, there is a ratchet mechanism which prevents the retraction spring constantly pulling the cord taut.
The result is that once you pull the cord to the length you need, there is no tension in the cord. Another cable I tried had constant tension and a heavy retraction hub. It's plug connector to the computer was becoming frayed and so worn that it would not stay plugged in. The Kensington model did not have these problems.
Unfortunately, the Kensington cable abruptly stopped transmitting signal. I'm going to get another one, but this time I'm keeping my receipt for the warranty.
The only suggestion for improvement is that the have the hub at one end of the cord, rather than in the middle.

TRENDnet 300 Mbps Wireless N Home Router TEW-652BRP (Black) Review

TRENDnet 300 Mbps Wireless N Home Router TEW-652BRP (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I usually don't write reviews as I am lazy but I think the other consumer's review is misleading to many people that consider buying this router. I don't know what is the problem in his case (maybe choosing the same channel with the neighbor or some other strong interference?) but I never experienced any disconnects or other connection issues with this router.
This router is considerably inexpensive compared to other 802.11N routers and ,as expected, it doesn't compare with the >$100 routers in terms of features. However, it is a reliable router with basic functionality and much faster connection than the 802.11G routers. I usually connect at 130MBS and it is more than enough for may needs as my wired ethernet connection is 100MBS anyway. There is no performance difference between plugging the Ethernet cable to my computer or connecting wirelessly with this router and that was what I was looking for. I am simply happy with it (using for the last couple of weeks) and keeping it until dual band N routers drop to this price range.
Cons:
-Not a dual band (only 2.4 GHZ) so you won't experience 802.11N speeds if you use old 802.11B or 802.11G devices simultaneously with the N devices.
-Firmware and web interface provides only the basic settings, so don't expect anything advanced (e.g. you cannot reserve IPs to certain MACs)
-Ethernet is 100MBS, so don't buy this if you need gigabit ethernet
-You have to choose the 802.11 channel manually (there is no auto setting to find the channel with least interference). But you can look at the channels of the neighbor wireless networks and set it manually to the least crowded.
PROs:
-I bought it on sale and the price was unbeatable for a N router.
-Connection is fast and reliable.
-MIMO is great, so even the G devices connects faster (but I use the router exclusively in N mode, I have another G router for legacy devices)
-Set-up was painless and device supports WPA2 with hardware AES encryption.
I am a computer professional and didn't even look at the user manual or quick start guide. So I don't know how good the instructions etc. are if you need them but if you know what you are doing, then the router is easy to setup as it comes wireless enabled and you can start configuring it as soon as you power the router on. Its default IP is "192.168.10.1" and default admin password is "access".

Average Reviews:

I originally purchased a Linksys DSL/Cable router because of a clerk's recommendation. It never worked even after I took it back and got a replacement. I then purchased a Netgear ProSafe router which sort of worked with the BellSouth DSL modem but still had all sorts of packet losses. I went back to the store and purchased the Belkin Cable/DSL router and it worked flawlessly right out of the box! I ran the set-up cd-rom, attached the cables, and I was on-line in 3 minutes. I then hooked in my wife's computer and laptop and they too worked after booting. If you have BellSouth DSL or any other "finicky" ISP, this router is the one to get, it saved the day!!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product (GSI GLP9386) sounds like just what we need on an ongoing basis, but there is no additional technical information available as of date (July 3, 2011) beyond the few descriptive lines on Amazon's sales page. To Amazon's credit, their Chat customer service agent spend quite a bit of time attempting to identify the manufacturer and obtain a link to a manual for us, but ultimately could do neither. There are pages of Google hits on "GSI" and "GLP9386" but none of the other vendors have any more information than Amazon does and none seem to be relevant to this manufacturer.
If any of you can identify the manufacturer or provide a link to their website or to the manual for the GLP9386 I'd appreciate it if you'd email that information to Stephen.Marcy@Comcast.net
We hope to eventually evaluate this and give it high marks, but we're not going to invest any more time in it if the manufacturer can't be identified and the documentation and some comfort level in ongoing support can be obtained.
Thanks!

Coiled USB Cable for the iRiver H10 20GB with Power Hot Sync and Charge capabilities - uses Gomadic TipExchange Technology Review

Coiled USB Cable for the iRiver H10 20GB with Power Hot Sync and Charge capabilities - uses Gomadic TipExchange Technology
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After browsing for a USB Hot Sync/Charge cable for my H10, I spotted the $9.99 as the first result for my search. However, after reading countless reviews stating that the cheaper cable would charge but would not sync properly. Those reviews that said it did sync said that it did not put music files in the music topic but rather it would but everything in the file browser. Not wanting to take this risk I put my faith in the Gomadic product after reading the only 5 star review. I am so glad that I did.
I received my order an entire day before the earliest projected delivery date. I noticed that it had been shipped within 2 hours of placing the order, which was made at 3 PM. It came with an instruction/uses sheet as well as 2 interchangeable tips. This is one of the most well built and rugged cables I have ever purchased. It feels incredibly well built and appears that it will last as long as my H10 does.
The Tip Exchange is a fantastic idea as I can expect to buy cables for other devices in the future and just having to buy tips is convenient. Rather that having a plethora of cables, I just have to change tips whenever needed.
As for the sync problems with other products, this does exactly what it should do. It syncs with no problem and charges at the same time. Also it properly puts my music files in the correct music section.
If you are looking for a USB Sync/Charge cable for your H10, spend the extra 8 dollars on this product that works properly. From now on I will take my business to Gomadic for future electronic accessory purchases.

I live in a two story house, with plenty of walls in between. This unit replaced 3 11a Access Points. I can now get 108mbps anywhere in my house with almost 100% signal strenght (my laptop is using the WPC54GX card).
The web interface is very straightforward and looks professional. I would buy it again.

Now you can enjoy wireless home-network access in those hard-to-reach rooms and--simultaneously--get faster networking and Internet performance, too. The WRT54GX Wireless-G broadband router from Linksys uses the company's advanced SRX (Speed and Range eXpansion) technology to enhance the speed and the reach of a Wireless-G (802.11g) network. The WRT54GX can provide faster wireless network throughput, reduce dead spots, and increase wireless range over standard Wireless-G networks. The handy WRT54GX serves as an Internet-sharing router, a four-port 10/100 switch, and an SRX-enhanced Wireless-G access point all at once. Relative to standard 80 2.11g technology, a network using all SRX products can extend network reach up to three times as far and boost wireless network speed by up to eight times. (Actual throughput, speed, and range depend on a host of factors, from building materials to network traffic and distance from the router.) The device is Wi-Fi-certified and backward compatible with 802.11b (Wireless-B), 802.11g (Wireless-G) and, of course, other Linksys SRX products. Mixed wireless environments such as networks containing SRX, Wireless-B, and Wireless-G products can operate each client at its own maximum data rate. SRX products maintain their higher speed and range, providing the throughput and quality of service to deliver applications such as VoIP (Internet telephony) and video streaming. SRX is based on MIMO (multiple-in, multiple-out) technology, a key component in the upcoming Wireless-N (802.11n) standard. To improve range and speed, MIMO uses two radios and three antennas on a wireless router or client adapter. To enhance data protection and privacy, the router can encode all wireless trans missions with WPA (Wireless Protection Access). Its powerful Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall enhances protection to all the wired and wireless PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks while also supporting VPN passthrough. Configuration is easy using a Web-browser-based configuration utility. What's in the Box Wireless-G broadband router, a setup CD-ROM with Symantec Internet Security, a u ser's guide on CD-ROM, an AC power adapter, an Ethernet network cable, a quick-i nstallation guide, and a registration card.

I have the same 4402 setup up as a (WDS)repeater. It works great with my X6 router. I looked up Zoom FAQ and got the detail instruction how to setup the WDS (repeater). It is straight forward instruction. No time I got it up and running. I setup the device at building one with the X6 and building two with the 4402(WDS)(Repeater). That more than 50ft of distance. It works perfectly fine. Reset the device back to factory default setting and give it another try. If that don't work, you might have a faulty unit and return for RMA.
Below is the link to the Zoom FAQ site. LoL. Hope this help...

Marine Aquarium & Goldfish Aquarium Review

Marine Aquarium and Goldfish Aquarium
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had to put this review in because of the unfair one previously given.
Before I purchased this software, I checked out 5-6 of the major fish screensavers out their and this one is by far the most realistic, (movement, background, lighting, and noise). I have two computers, one 800 mHz the other 1.4 gHz processor and the program runs perfect on both. The goldfish screensaver is just as impressive, if you're into that kind of fish. Don't let other marine/freshwater screen savers fool you by advertising more fish and backgrounds, the quality in all aspects, especially 3d-graphics and color (which are a must if your looking for realism), are poor. I personally thought I'd like the extra fish and backgrounds (turtles in particular) in a competitors screen saver, so I purchased it instead of this one. After trying it, I was very disapointed and luckily I was able to receive a refund. I purchased Marine Aquariun and have never regretted it since. What's great is they have a demo on their website your can try out too.

Sling Media SlingLink Turbo Powerline Kit ( SL200-100 ) Review

Sling Media SlingLink Turbo Powerline Kit ( SL200-100 )
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In a large (brand new 5-bedroom, 3500 sq ft house) it works pretty well. NOTE: my specific objective was to support a SlingBox (original) with cable Internet elsewhere in the house.
I've used SlingBox and SlingLink Turbo in two different configurations:
1. SlingBox connected directly to my router; SlingLink supporting other wired + wireless computers elsewhere in the house via a wireless router.
2. SlingLink connected the Internet and SlingLink broadcasting to SlingLink supporting my SlingBox and XBOX 360 as "slave" devices.
The first configuration is better (obviously) because SlingBox can "broadcast" up to a full 2.5Mbps over a LAN connection. The second configuration is better for everyday use since I get maximum Internet bandwidth on computers.
Findings:
1. Internet speed test dropped from 18-19Mbps down / 2.5Mbps up (Comcast w/ SpeedBoost) to 2100Mbps down / 800Kbps up.
2. SlingBox over SlingLink drops to 1.2Mbps (video quality is a bit choppy vs. perfectly smooth otherwise). I've had it spike to 1.6Mbps over the LAN.
3. Additionally SlingBox over the open Internet (original intended use) maxes out at 600kbps, which is a hair below what it was without SlingLink in the middle.
4. The only real "issue" with SlingLink is probably due to home wiring (i.e. on a semi-related note I had to re-wire every cable jack and replace the primary splitter that my electrical contractor originally installed because the cheap original hardware was so bad that ).
5. Newer SlingBoxes (AV/PRO/SOLO) may be more tolerant of "spotty" Ethernet connections, considering they have newer H.264 compression chips.
All in all I'm happy. Wireline Ethernet isn't perfect and would probably work a lot better in a condominium or smaller house. A larger house would/could justify multiple cable modems.
