I wasn’t sure if this mouse was as good as the reviews. I tried some others and found the lacking. This one tracks flawlessly on most surfaces and has a quality feel. You won’t be sorry if you buy one!

This sums up this router:

1. Pretty easy to set up- but difficult to connect. SSID is found on most gear, but only about 50% connectivity. It is very sporadic. Some days “success” some days “failure.”

2. Play station 3- after finding a channel on the router that PS3 “likes” this router did pretty well staying connected with a PS3 upstairs. (router was downstairs) Although two weeks of connectivity would be dampened by a few days of non connection…but once again SSID is found no problem.

3. Wii- forget it. SSID found…1% connectivity. I only got it to connect twice over several months.

4. Nintendo DS- it worked pretty well with these and it seemed to stay connected.

6. HP Photo smart wireless printing- stayed connected once connected, but took forever to connect. Once again SSID found with some problems…but even after found, will not connect until you mess with channel after channel to find the right one.

9. Bluray LG BD-390- Router gives 50% connectivity. Hit and miss. Some days would connect and I could stream Netflix, other days would not. SSID found about 80% of the time…but connectivity 50%.

10. Desktop computer and apple macbook- no problems: never lost connection.

NOTE: The signal was not that bad…several green bars on all of this gear.

To sum it up I had about a 90% success rate at discovering the SSID, but far less than 50% connectivity…This router was an absolute waste of money. It just would not connect.
Amazingly enough I received the verizon FIOS wireless router, hooked it up and secured it in 5 minutes, and within 15 minutes had everything running wirelessly…SSID and connectivity on all of the above. This Belkin router just is too unreliable.

1. It will work with virtually any internet service provider – definitely not locked to Verizon!

2. Has been hacked to unlock USB printing, Basic USB disk sharing, media server, and a few more goodies. See [...] for details. No, it won’t run Tomato or DD-WRT, but for $10 and whatever spare USB drive you have sitting around, it it pretty good. Very stable.

3. Has decent range, I get range on it equal to that of my $95 ASUS RT-N16 router (granted the verizon 7501 is only G, not N) Not bad for the money.

I was very disappointed in the product, the sound quality was worse than listening to an AM radio channel, if you could even find a station without interference to start with. I commute from LA to San Bernardino and if I was able to find a relatively clear channel it would not last longer than 3 minutes until I had search for a new channel.

Well another product I purchased thinking… okay I’m just throwing my money away. HDMI cables don’t cost two dollars, they cost 30 dollars and up… clearly the retail stores and/or cable manufacturers wouldn’t lie to me and overprice their cables… would they?

Long story short they did. I put these cables against a 36 dollar Vizio cable which was the cheapest I could find at my local walmart. They are running through a switch box due to my tv only having one input for HDMI and I gotta say compared to PC video quality on HDMI from Monitor to GPU (22″inch 720p Vizio tv as a monitor plugged into a pc with an 1gb ATI Radeon card) the image quality is no different from the vizio cable I was using. Now from the TV to the Xbox, again no difference between that and the vizio cable. All in all Id say these cables are a win, apparently they are only class 1 though according to other customer reviews. So if all you need is an HDMI cable and you dont wanna get ripped a new one at the local store, just buy this.

have had this for 3 yrs now. works great. easy installation. sometimes the receiver doesn’t pick up keyboard/mouse signal when there is no line of sight path (like when the rcvr is hidden beneath the table). but that’s something u can work around by plaing it on the table/monitor. otherwise works great. not sure abt 30$ price on amazon though!

Worked fine for a year or so, not very accurate, but worked. It has recently stopped picking up the signal from the sensor. Very annoying that Oregon Scientific has such poor customer support. It’s almost impossible to get help. Not sure other manufacturers are any better, but I wouldn’t buy this again.

This product works really well. It doesn’t hurt the animal at all, it just takes the undercoat of the hair off the dog before they shed it. They need to make one like it for cats. I don’t have top sweep as often everyday now to pick-up the hair left from my dog and I notice less left in his bedding and my vehicle. The Product is great and easy to use.
