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

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This may or may not work for you. I've got it working in my house. I've got a Netgear router upstairs in my bonus room hooked up to a Charter Cable box. My Dish reciever is downstairs in another section of my house. The Slinglink Turbo works fairly well; however, if I plug anything else into certain outlets in my bonus room, the whole connection basically just fails. So be aware of what you have plugged into other outlets as it might cause the whole thing to fail.

Epson WorkForce 325 Color Inkjet All-in-One (C11CB08201) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Epson WorkForce 325 Color Inkjet All-in-One was extremely easy to set up. The way we set it up required a USB cable, so you may need that. We got it set up and the drivers installed on our computers in very little time.

One great thing about this printer is that is connects to your wireless network so after initial set-up it doesn't have to be wired to any computer and you can really put it anywhere (unless you need to set it up near a phone port for the faxing). I've been using it frequently and have had no problems so far. I find that I use it more often than my old printer because it just works so much better.

I also really like the way it is designed. It's efficient, and the sections for scanning and faxing are easy to access. So far the print quality has been good as well.

Acer Aspire One AOD255-2691 10.1-Inch Netbook (Diamond Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This one is replacing a 2-yr-old Acer with a 9" screen, 1GB RAM/160GB HDD which I bought at Best Buy for $300+! I leave my full-size laptop at home because the Acer's more portable. I don't install hardly any applications on it; I save that for the home laptop. I only use it for internet access on location or on the road, and I can offload digital images from my camera's memory cards while traveling. It has a built-in SD card slot, and I also pack a USB CF card reader. This way I don't have to bring/buy extra cards for extended trips/vacations. Once home, I connect my Lacie Rugged portable HDD to it to offload the images, then connect the Lacie to the home laptop to process the photos. At home, the Acer resides in the garage as a utility laptop for internet browsing, Googling info for projects, user manuals, etc. I've never had a problem with the first one, and this one's even faster, bigger, brighter, yet still small enough to bring anywhere without weighing you down. Compared to my iPad, it's about the same dimensions except about twice as thick. Yet it's has full laptop functionality for less than half the price. It just doesn't have the iPad's coolness factor, and the touch screen. The only complaint I have is that the keyboard surface is so flat and smooth, that it's difficult to discern the touch pad and the individual keys by feel.

LaCie d2 Quadra Hard Disk 2 TB eSATA/FireWire800/FireWire400/USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive 301500U (Aluminum) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I finally received my LaCie hard drive. This is a well made piece of equipment - it has a solid, heavy construction and an elegant appearance.

I was relieved that the light is a pleasant shade of blue and is not bright at all, unlike other hard drive lights with blindingly bright LEDs.

This drive is not silent, though it is fairly quiet. I can clearly hear the drive running from several feet away but it's not disturbing. The fellow who said that he can't hear it with his ear right next to it, well the drive must not have been running at that moment.

I'm using this as a Time Machine backup drive. With a Firewire 400 connection to my old G5 iMac, it backed up 270 GBs in under 5 hours. At first the Time Machine backup was dog slow. Then I remembered to turn off my virus software, AND most important, I changed the Spotlight preferences by selecting the Privacy tab and adding my backup drive to prevent Spotlight from indexing/searching it. After that the backup process just flew!

After writing data for 5 hours the drive was warm, but not hot. The aluminum heat-sink case seems to cool the drive very well.

Eventually I will attach it to an Apple Airport Extreme via USB to use it as a network drive for wireless use by my laptop as well. Unfortunately the Airport Extreme wireless router does not provide a Firewire 400/800 connection - just ethernet or the much slower USB 2.0. I'll provide an update on the performance at that time.

All in all, I am quite happy with this purchase.

Novatel Wireless MiFi 2352 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We were in Italy in May/June of 2011. Internet was spotty in many places. Some places said they had WiFi but it worked poorly or not at all. This device worked great and kept all of our devices online.

Took a while to find the correct place to purchase a Sim card but finally was able to get one from a TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile) store. Vodaphone would not sell a Sim card even though they sell an identical device.

It should be noted that data rates in Italy are a bargain. For 25 euros I got a 100-hour, UNLIMITED data SIM card. It is 100 hours by USAGE; not by the calendar (or clock) like in the USA. 100 hours lasted us the entire 3-week trip. Too bad we can't get something like this in the U.S.!

As others have mentioned, the device runs a bit warm and the battery life could be better but since it works just fine while plugged in the AC power it wasn't a big issue.

Quirks:
Occasionally seems to lock up. All lights are on but there is no throughput & it won't turn off. Copying a page from my Blackberry's playbook - I removed the battery and then put it back in. Presto! - it works properly again.

If the electricity goes out while you are charging the device and then comes back on, the device turns itself on even though it had been powered off. If you are in an area where the electricity is flakey don't charge the device if you aren't around or you might use up your purchased time.

Airpremier N Selectable Dual Band Ap Poe Review

Pros: Easy to set up, good signal strength covers my entire office space in two stories. Nice range of features.

Cons: The only problem I've had is with the scheduling feature. Wireless network turns off, but never comes back as scheduled. So I won't be using that feature, at least for now. Have not checked for a Firmware update yet.

Ayrstone AyrMesh Hub Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Netgear WIFi unit in the house cannot get outside because of aluminum siding and metal roof, great RF shield, bad for communications. Bought two Arymesh units thinking I would need one in the house window to send and then one in the shop window to receive and distribute internally, since the shop has metal siding and a metal roof. I ended up installing the Ayrmesh 20ft up on my tower. To my surprise only one was needed, working fine going through the two 3x3 windows in the shop/family room building about 225ft away and our cabin (metal roof & wood siding). Followed the instructions on the web sight to set up. I like that you go to the web sight to program the Ayrmesh WiFi. So far, very impressed. I made sure that I had the Netgear and Arymesh on separate channels therefore not shutting off the netgear WiFi. I can log on to either WiFi depending on where I am. The Arymesh on channel 1 and the netgear seemed to be defaulted on 3. They do not interfere with each other since the channels are spaced apart enough. The netgear does not get outside the house therefore I do not have it password protected like the Arymesh, since it goes some distance outside. I have not checked on how far on the farm it will go yet, not that I would think of a need yet out at the pond or where ever. I called before purhasing talking to tech support guy which was very helpful. I use not only for my own web/email needs, but to also VPN into my company network to respond to immediate different building systems monitoring/control needs anytime. Glad I purchased this Ayrmesh product.

Product Description

The AyrMesh Hub is the "building block" for the AyrMesh network. The first AyrMesh Hub (called the "Gateway") is connected to your existing high-speed internet connection (router) and distributes it via Wi-Fi up to half a mile away. Additional AyrMesh Hubs (called "Remotes") can then be deployed as to extend your network even further. All AyrMesh Hubs are automatically self-configuring using information from the AyrMesh Portal. If you are ordering the AyrMesh Hub as a Gateway (the first AyrMesh Hub, connected to your router) or you need to mount it further from your power outlet, make sure you order an Ethernet cable (or make your own Ethernet cable) long enough to reach from where it is mounted to the power supply. AVAILABLE IN THE U.S. AND CANADA ONLY - WE CANNOT SHIP TO P.O. BOXES
