Truly Awesome

WILSON ELECTRONICS 460101 DT4G(TM) Kit
WILSON ELECTRONICS 460101 DT4G(TM) Kit

Pros: 1. Easy setup 2. Excellent performance 3. Multiple antenna mount options

Cons: 1. Requires installation a. Drilling holes in my case b. Antenna alignment

Overall Review: I had 1-2 bars of intermittent LTE service before I got this unit. Most of the time I just had a 2-3Mbps 4G connection. connecting it to my window when it came in raised the signal, but not the speed. So to the next mount; I lowered my TV antenna and placed this unit above it. Referring to the T-Mobile map I placed the antenna facing east where it showed the nearest 4G signal. Connection rate went up to LTE 4-6Mbps. I was fairly pleased with it although it would still occassionally drop to 4G. In the process of installing the Wilson Cellular antenna, about a week later I lost all of my TV channels and assumed I must have moved the direction of the TV antenna. Back on to the roof with my Laptop. I opened Speedtest.net and my HDHomeRun signal config. I started turning the antenna and noticed the 4G speed increased. I kept turning and saw it increasing, I repeated the counter clockwise turn until I saw it decrease then fine tuned the location. I finally ended up with 18-22 Mbps. The Cellular antenna was about 95° from where I had it set. I marked the direction for the cellular antenna on the chimney the mast was connected to and continued adjusting the TV. Pulled the mast back down and locked the 2 antennas on the mast to the directions I marked on the chimney and elevated the mast. It has been great since then although I have noticed that some times I have to reset my hotspot, but I suspect that is a flaw in the hotspot. As it turned out, my real problem with the TV was a bad amp that I really didn't need anyway.

Positively amazing!

Pros: Multiple monitor setup on a very basic laptop Easy 1 cable connection Gaming capability

Cons: led lighting can't be turned off. I lose track of what screen my mouse is on. (seriously, 5 giant screens can make a game of hide and seek of it).

Overall Review: There was some pain in getting this setup. The Thunderbolt port on my work laptop was never installed correctly, so I had to get that updated as well as the firmware. Once I did though, Wow! Five monitors hooked up to a ultra book! Nice. My workspace blows away anything I ever had my entire career. 1 34" - 4 27"s (when I'm done).

Great Headset, Lousy fit

Pros: The best sound quality of any headset I've ever had. No trouble hearing or being heard in a variety of environments. This little headset has many advanced features most people will never use (me included), yet is simple enough for the novice to be able to use.

Cons: The worst fitting most uncomfortable headset I have ever worn. If you can stick a dime in your ear and it will stay this headset may be a good fit for you. The ear loop is a coat hanger like thing that feels about as comfortable as it sounds.

Overall Review: I will continue to use this headset because the pros well outweigh the cons. The fact that it is uncomfortable is actually a plus because you won't forget that it is in your ear. Nothing screams "disconnected geek" as much as wearing a headset 24/7. The coat hanger can be upgraded via the cardo web site for a nominal fee.
