Nice gadget
Pros: Can connect anything that has an ethernet port to a wireless network. I use it for my WDLiveHub works fine so far.
Cons: Can't think of any.
lasted a bit over a year
Pros: Ethernet over the power line
Cons: This product is not worth the money. Networking with these is slow. Don't last.
Overall Review: Look for a different brand altogether I have a pair of D-Link (DHP-311AV) and they work without any problems since I got them 2 years ago. Not sure I'll buy another Actiontec product again.
720p monitoring camera
Pros: Tilt, pan, wireless, Ethernet, sd-card, speakers, mic, android app, web app, wall mounts.
Cons: Needs internet connection to work with android app. I got this camera to monitor the baby's room but after fiddling with it for a bit I realized that I do not know where the video feed is actually going from the camera. As soon as the camera is powered on, it want to connect to some IPs in China and some in US. My assumption is that some of the servers at those IPs are used to facilitate the connection of smartphone apps. Call me paranoid but why does the camera have to pan and tilt like trying to "scan" the room as part of the start-up process.
Overall Review: I would have probably given the camera 5 eggs if the android app would allow for configuring connecting to cameras by IP on the local network that way the camera can be kept isolated from the internet.
Good battery pack
Pros: Enough power to recharge my phone a few times. Two charging ports. Carrying case, two cables and adapters.
Cons: Just a battery pack.
Overall Review: Ingress drains the battery of your phone really fast. This battery can keep me going a whole day without issues. This thing can charge my Galaxy Nexus from 4-5% to full in about 1h on the 2A port.
it works
Pros: I can connect my SATA drive to my laptop with this cable
Cons: If the port on the PC is not a eSATA+USB combo port, the cable will not power the drive connected to the other end of it. I got the cable to use at work with an SSD but by the looks of things my pc at work does not have a combo port :-(.
Overall Review: I gave only 2 eggs because the eSATA side of the cable got to me damaged. One of the key indentations on the connector was broken. I know it's only a piece of plastic but still... now I have to live with a damaged cable because an exchange and return is a bigger hassle then just using it this way.
my first SSD
Pros: fast. This is my first SSD. I can't believe how fast everything loads on my machine.
Cons: can't think of any
