Belkin USB Serial Modular Adapter for Mac Din8/DB9 with 5 Imac Colored Sleeves Review

Belkin USB Serial Modular Adapter for Mac Din8/DB9 with 5 Imac Colored Sleeves
Average Reviews:

Not at all happy with this device. The claim "compatible with all serial devices" the reality is it is not . I wanted to connect my LaserWriter to my iMac (serial to USB). After much frustration I called Belkin and was told that this product does not support LaserWriter printers. Belkin was not very helpful and returning the product means I am out the shipping. If you are considering this product call to get specific compatiblity specs.

If you need a plug to connect a series of serial cables together this is your part. However if your converting null modem cable or a non-standard end the extra nut on one side are going to cause you issues.

D-Link Wireless G USB 2.0 Adapter 802.11g, 54Mbps Review

D-Link Wireless G USB 2.0 Adapter 802.11g, 54Mbps
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like this little gem. I had a PCI wireless card for my desktop that was several years old and no longer supported by the manufacturer. I needed to upgrade, but I wanted a USB wireless adapter this time around. I wanted to get it out from the bottom of my desk so I could a better signal. I had certain requirements for my new purchase. It couldn't cost any more than $45. It had to be USB. And it had to have some sort of USB extention cable or cradle. It had to be reviewed by Windows Vista users. It also had to have excellent reception. I don't have a big house, but there were a lot of walls and electronics near and in between the Access Point and my computer.
After searching I found the DLink Wireless G adapater fit the bill. I picked it up for $30 (at least $10 less than local stores). All of the reviews talked about great reception, even indepent review sites. And it had the USB craddle I was looking for. I bought it and got free shipping along with it! What a Deal!
I've had this little gem installed for about one month now, I coudn't be happier. It gets great reception. This adapter runs absolutely great with Vista. I am also using the included connection software and it plays very well with Vista.
The only downside is the optional craddle. It requires either a direct computer USB port, or a powered USB hub with an external power supply. It draws more mA than a non-powered hub can handle (at least it did on mine). I had to use the power supply on my USB hub to get the craddle to work. This is the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5.
I highly recommend this product. You will not be disappointed.

Dekcell USB to DB25 (Female) Parallel Printer Cable Adapter Review

Dekcell USB to DB25 (Female) Parallel Printer Cable Adapter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The cable for my HP Laserjet 4Plus printer ends with a 25 pin male DB25 plug, which is not accepted by modern notebooks like my HP Pavilion dv6500. I decided therefore to order a Dekcell Cable (DC), plug my printer cable into the female DB25 end of the DC, and then plug the USB end of the DC into the notebook. The cable comes in a box labeled WanTeng, and the writing on the box advertises "Includes driver for today's most popular operating systems".
Unfortunately, the box is dated 2003, and examples of "modern operating systems" pictured on the box are Windows98 and Windows2000. This worried me at first, since the operating systems on my two computers are Windows Vista and Windows XP. However, it turned out that there was no need for a driver. Ignoring the CD enclosed in the box, I simply plugged in the DC, chose a USB port for the printer, and the printer worked (both with Vista and XP). There are cables like this for over $30 which are a little longer, but 3 feet was plenty for me, so I've been quite happy with this cable (and the price under $7).

NETGEAR WN121T RangeMax Next Wireless-N USB 2.0 Adapter Review

NETGEAR WN121T RangeMax Next Wireless-N USB 2.0 Adapter
Average Reviews:

This USB adapter will cause your sound card to stutter in a horrible manner. Many users on the netgear forum are reporting this issue and NETGEAR is not fixing this problem.
This is not a problem with XP/Vista IRQ conflicts (I went through the process of verifying this myself, which requires me to re-install XP to get my hyper threading support back). This is 100% a NETGEAR issue.

The NETGEAR WN121T RangeMax Next Wireless-N USB 2.0 Adapter makes it simple for you to provide the highest speed wireless internet access to your computer, whether it is a desktop or notebook, letting you surf the web, check email, stream music, make internet phone calls, and get a leg up on opponents when playing online games.

The adapter supports Windows Vista and is also compatible with Windows XP and 2000 SP4. The WN111 features a USB 2.0 connection for wide compatibility and high speeds, and setup is as simple as installing the included software and plugging the USB connector into an available port.
Fast, Backwards Compatible, and Secure The NETGEAR WN121T uses the Wireless-N protocol (based on 802.11n draft) for speeds up to 300 Mbps and a range ten times that of 802.11g adapters when paired with a NETGEAR Wireless-N Router. With this much speed and bandwidth, you can easily download large files, place Internet phone calls, download MP3s, stream video, and play online games -- all at the same time, without hiccups, and from farther away. You'll notice the difference immediately.
The WN121T is backwards compatible with 802.11g and 802.11b wireless networks so you'll be able to connect to any hotspot, and it improves network performance up to 50 percent when used with the older 802.11b/g networks.
You can feel secure about your information as the adapter supports Wi-Fi protected access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK) and 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption for IEEE 082.11b and IEEE 802.11g. The included software makes managing different WEP passwords a breeze as you can set up different profiles for each location you frequent, saving yourself the trouble of having to type in encryption keys each time you connect to a hotspot you've already used.
The NETGEAR WN121T RangeMax Next Wireless-N USB 2.0 Adapter is backed by a 1-year warranty.

This product is useless since my laptop runs XP and the manufacturer has still not posted updated XP drivers on their website. Any attempt to e-mail them results in bounced messages due to them "going over their mail quota". Gee, I wonder why. There are probably many other unhappy customers out there.

Retractable USB/Mini/Firewire 1394 Cable Travel Kit - 6 Adapters/Converters Review

Retractable USB/Mini/Firewire 1394 Cable Travel Kit - 6 Adapters/Converters
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I acquired this to have the universal ability to connect many types of hardware to my PC without having to shuffle through cables in a drawer. The adaptors attach and unattach easily enough, but after one full extension of the retracable wires it will not completely retract any more... The two specific connectors I wanted it for do not work with the hardware I wanted them for. The conectors work at the most basic function. But if you have a higher end device, the connector will not do anything more than simply connect it to the PC. I tried the firewire to USB connector and it simply allowed my PC to recognize something had been connected but would not allow me to access the unit connected... Maybe some included software would be a good idea on a mini disk? If you are looking for a USB to USB, this will work, but other connectors don't really do anything. If you have the wires already, don't bother with this unit... in fact, even though this is extremely inexpensive, don't bother period.

Actiontec VoSKY Skype Call Center ( USB07051C-01 ) Review

Actiontec VoSKY Skype Call Center ( USB07051C-01 )
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a must have, if you like skype. I never liked the pc calls in the early days due to the voice drops and the choppy sounds. But ever since skype came on to the scene, it has been a great experience. The voice quality is unbelievable. I have my folks from India calling me (I am located in US) from their PC using skype. Best of all it is free for me, as the internet connectivity is broadband for both my parents and me, so we can talk for ever without any per minute charges to the telecommunication company.
One issue with skype was that I am kind of tethered to the PC.
Well, not any more. With the vosky call center, I am no where near my PC. Infact I use skype from my mobile phone these days.
(see it is free after night and weekends for both incoming and outgoing calls). You might be thinking I have some of those fancy paid skype services such as skypein and skype out. Well No, nada. What makes it possible is this little product.
The setup is fairly simple. It has just three outlets. The telephone line goes to one of them. The other outlet connects to the telephone. The third one is a USB port which goes to the PC (with windows xp). I keep the PC always on with skype connected with my account. Now, I have setup all my family and friends with speed dialing numbers such as 1, 2 etc. Now all I have to call them from my regular phone is ##1.
Also dialing ## takes me to this vosky call center exchange. I can call any of my contacts with the preset speed dial numbers I have setup. Also, I can call from my mobile phone to my home phone number and access my callcenter(like those answering systems - password protected). Another cool feature is that I can put a wakeup call on any phones, whenever my contacts become online. So I do not have to setup a ren de vouz with my parents for a prearranged time for the PC calls. All they have to do is call my skype account, and my regular phone will ring. Also, from my phone, I can call my skype contact, and if they are offline, it gives me an option to
altert me when they become on line. So as soon as my parents sign in, I get alerted on my phone(or mobile).
Also, my PC has VPN, skype and call center software works in both mode. So thats is great too. Also, when the PC is off, my regular phone works as before.
Also you have the option to setup an answering system, which will route all calls to your PC as audio files.
Do not waste time buying USB phone/mic/speakers etc, when you can use your regular phone, anywhere, anytime.
I will post some pictures of my setup on www.emindshop.com

Belkin F5D5050 USB to 10/100 Ethernet Adaptor - Networking Review

Belkin F5D5050 USB to 10/100 Ethernet Adaptor - Networking
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I required a second network card to setup a multihomed server using Windows 2003. Since I was out of PCI slots on my server this adapter was a definitive blessing; it is also an excellent alternative for laptop users and for people who don't feel comfortable opening their computer cases. The adapter's cable length is about a foot 1/2 long, which I think is adequate for most people; it also has a power LED which also serves as a network status indicator.
I also tested the adapter with Windows XP and did not require the CD to set it up (Windows 2003 did require the CD).
Note:
If you install this adapter with your system powered on, you will get an error message indicating a problem starting the device, this is normal and will go out after restarting.
So far, performance has been consistent and it has been 100% stable.
I hope that my review helps in evaluating this device.

BELKIN F5D7050 Wireless 802.11g USB Network Adapter Review

BELKIN F5D7050 Wireless 802.11g USB Network Adapter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have an older iBook that requires an original Apple Airport card. Unfortunately these are no longer in production. They can still be purchased new online for $150-180 if you look for them, or you can get a used one from eBay for $100-150 or so. Couldn't see going those routes so I picked up one of these babies and it works flawlessly with OS 10.4. Belkin doesn't make drivers for it but you can get the driver at the Ralink Technology site (http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm). The Belkin adapter that I received from Amazon is version 3000, and it uses the RT71W driver. It's the one listed at the very bottom of the list of Macintosh drivers, dated 2006/01/25. When you open the box for this adapter, take the Install CD and the Quickstart Guide and all that other Windows-related stuff and throw them straight in the trash. Download and install the driver mentioned above and it'll prompt you to restart afterwards. Then go to your Network System Preferences pane and select Ethernet Adapter(en1) as your connection method. Plug the adapter into an available USB port (1.1 or 2.0, either one will work), then launch the Ralink Wireless Utility that you'll find in your Applications folder. And suddenly - hey yer smokin'! Been connected by cable for over three days now via a wireless Linksys router without a single disconnect. You can do it, too...

You can use the adapters on this device to adapt the cable to support different kinds of things. One moment, it's a USB cable! The next moment, it's a FireWire cable! And if what you want is a cable that can be used for many different things, this is right up your alley. It works just fine for this purpose.
It does _NOT_, however, convert FireWire to USB or vice-versa. If this is what you need, then you will be disappointed, because it was never intended to do this.

Even though the cost is only $9.95, it's not even worth that. There are no installation instructions with the hardware, nor is there even a brand name to go look up information. Though the packaging saids that it's Microsoft compatible, the software is not microsoft test verified. In my case it would work okay for a (very) little while, then my computer to would cease to recognize it, and I'd have to remove the software and hardware (in the device manager), restart the computer and reinstall everything from the beginning. Worse yet, after discovering that the product was made by a company called Huge Pine, their site offers no assistance whatsoever (or even mentions that they have this product).
Spend a little more money and save yourself the aggrivation.

Belkin Wireless N+ 802.11n USB Adapter (Black) Review

Belkin Wireless N+ 802.11n USB Adapter (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I received the Belkin Wireless N+ Router, I set it up it right in front of a window in my house. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CEYYFK/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title) Setup was super easy and I turned on 802.11b/g/n to all transmit/receive at the same time. I also purchased a Belkin Wireless N+ 802.11n USB Adapter (Black) (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CF2TYC/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title) and installed it in my brand new Dell laptop. The combination worked flawlessly, setup was super easy, and the security was a snap to set up.
I received at least four lights all over our one story house including 80' away through a number of walls. My new laptop's built-in N-card/antenna did not work nearly as well as the Belkin N+ adapter.
I took the laptop and the Belkin N+ Adapter for a walk while keeping the window and router in my line of sight. At approximately 325' from the router, I still had full signal strength! I finally lost the signal about 380' feet from the router.
I also tried the Belkin adapter with a 7-year old, 512Mb ram HP laptop and got similar results - full signal at 325'.

This device worked out of the box. Windows Vista recognized it automatically without using the install CD. Less than 30 days later the device quit working. Vista no longer recognizes the USB device. Initially I couldn't contact Plugable via their website as they were having hosting issues. Plugable made contact with me via email and sent me a replacement adapter, without waiting for the defective adapter to be returned. The replacement device is working properly. I definitely would buy another product from Plugable based on my positive experience with the replacement.
