If you want to test out the waters, see what these SSD's will do this is a great place to start. Pop it in, install the latest version of Ubuntu and see how fast that old laptop that you were getting to retire really can be.

While it does not pay to "upgrade" these days, but to repair what you have or test install a Ubuntu without trying to dual boot. Here's your drive.

Good all around router

Verified Purchase:Yes
One size does not fit all in routers. But if you are planning on streaming, getting a little more speed and distance than your 5 year old router, this is your replacement without breaking the bank. I would consider the price point to be the beginning range but performance is way up there with others double or triple the cost. It is AC so it will work with more future products but does a superb job with current technologies with out all the features that no one uses.

Good extender

Verified Purchase:Yes
This unit does what it says it will do. However I wish they would repeat the same SSID as the older line did. That seamless SSID or roaming is much easier for users to understand. That being said, it works well in those hard to reach areas and has cat5 Port if needed to extend network further.

Good web camera for the money
on February 28, 2017
Posted by: GlitchGuy
from Hawkinsville, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a number of wireless cameras around the home to keep track of things. Don't really need DVR function, more to see if garage door is open, lights left on, etc. This unit was easy to setup and picture quality is very good. Having the ability to set ports, open to a current web browser is a plus. About the only negative I can see is the app for iPhone and or the location of the device on WiFi is a little slow. Interesting the web interface is fast as any other of my cameras, so I really don't think it's the WiFi. Anyway, I will be purchasing more of these, since some of my old Linksys WVC80's are getting a little dated.

looks like it will do the job

Verified Purchase:Yes
At first I could not get the units to work together, on the 3rd try, with them a little closer together I was able to get them to sync up. Having only 1 SSID and password across the network was critical for my customer. Linksys made some repeaters that you could do this with but the current models want a different SSID set, meaning that there is no seamless roaming on many products. They try to hold onto the weaker signal till it's gone, then move to the next SSID. This does work for the technically challenged at all. The home I was trying to cover was not large but laid out in a manner that was not even good for repeaters nor running wires. So far so good and will probably ad at least one more antenna and possibly two to get complete coverage everywhere they want signal to reach. Throughput on these were among the best I tested. I will be using them again for other customers that need wireless to just work.

Look Ma no charging blocks

Verified Purchase:Yes
It is great to be able to be rid of charging blocks and plug USB cords directly in. Seems to work with all devices so far. The only drawback on this model is not meant for daisy chain circuits. If you have AC to this outlet only, works like a charm. A second feed to another outlet you may not have room on the single set of screws.

I have about a half dozen of these now hooked to each of my stereos. Now I can hear music all over the house and outside. I use an iPhone and AllCast to play music from iTunes on the phone... works like a charm.

Perfect starter security system

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great for at least my needs. I have 3 exterior doors, this system comes with 3 door / window sensors and a motion sensor. For the price and the app it works great. You simply setup an account, plug the brain into your router, stick on the sensors to the doors. Let the brain find them, rename them so you know what's what. In most cases I just want to know if a door has been opened so there is a notification feature that sends instant message to your phone, at home or away. You can also look at the history. Used along with a video surveillance system, it gives you that needle in the haystack I've been looking for.

Hello, Does this Storage Device work with Windows XP Pro? Can This *Cloud* Be Shared Across Computers using XP PRO on our Home Network? Is this Device made to Stream 24 x 7 ? Thanks in advance
Really still worried about Windows XP? But cross platform to Linux, Apple and Microsoft products ... you can turn on NFS ... and map drives to all these devices. Works like a charm.

Only at Best BuyThis powerful Insignia™ NS-STR514 2.0-channel stereo receiver features compatibility with Apple® iPhone® and iPad® and most Bluetooth-enabled devices for easy wireless music streaming. The A/B switch supports up to 4 speakers.
Has anybody used two or more of these 2 channel receivers and sync them all using CHROMECAST AUDIO group feature?
It does not matter what amp you have. The Chrome Cast Audio hooks up to any audio input. I have 8 of the CCA units into 8 different stereo amps, 3 of them happen to be these receivers. I use the AUX3 in the front and they work great. I can adjust volume for the different zones on each amp. Then I have whole house group, outside group, etc...

The NETGEAR SOHO Ethernet Unmanaged Switches provide easy and affordable network connectivity to small offices and home/offices. With these Plug-and-Play switches, you can quickly and easily expand your network connections to multiple devices, with no configuration required.
Which port does the cable coming in the back of the switch box go in or does it matter ?
Any port will do. There is no "uplink" designated on this unit. I would also assume that you could not use a cross over cable unless the device at the other end is capable.

Is this switch compatible with Cat 6 cables? It says cat 5, I just don't know if that means cat 5 or higher or cat 5 only.
I have Cat5e and Cat 6 connections on mine at home and they work fine.

Does this switch carry the PoE (Power over Ethernet) functionality? If so, what type of cable must be used for POE (Not looking for "Cat6 or Cat5e" answers, I'm talking twisted-pair or something like 568-A or related)?
PoE will pass through this switch but no it does not generate PoE (power over ethernet)

Can I take ethernet wire from my modem run it to the back of the switch then take another wire and hook my axis point to it without using ports on my route
You would want your router to be the first connection after your modem. otherwise any device you connection would be on it's own with no firewall. Also your ISP may limit the number of devices or IP's the modem gives out.
