Most Critical Review

Stopped working in a couple of months

IOGEAR Bluetooth 2.1 USB Micro Adapter with Low Power Consumption (GBU421W6)
IOGEAR Bluetooth 2.1 USB Micro Adapter with Low Power Consumption (GBU421W6)

Pros: Once i got the s/w to work, it worked for 3-4 months. Synced up with no issues on my Samsung galaxy S phone.

Cons: The drivers for this are a pain to setup. I had issues across multiple machines. I first went with broadcom drivers and it worked on one machine for a bit. The blue light stopped working after a while and now even after installing the drivers off the iogear website, the connection drops after a minute or so and i get "radio stopped broadcasting" errors. I ultimately have to remove the device and restart the PC to do the whole thing all over again. It's getting annoying. I'm going to try for a RMA but the IOgear website doesnt have an easy way to submit a RMA. I'll have to email them and hope for the best.

Not very impressed

Pros: HDMI and excellent features on the board.

Cons: Initially i thought this board was DOA. It would not even turn on. After some tinkering, I figured out this board would not work with my 500w PSU. I changed it to a 650W and then it would not work with the PCI express power plugged in. After more tinkering, I noticed that it was not recognizing the one of the two (master) PATA drives I had hooked up. That drive works if i hook it up to an older MB. I eventually got fed up and RMA'd it.

Overall Review: Newegg customer service is great. They waived the restocking fee and also paid for the return shipping label. I saved around $20 which i think is fair since I only owned this board for around a week with the holidays.

Extremly dissappointed

NETGEAR WG111-100USR Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates
NETGEAR WG111-100USR Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Cheap

Cons: From the minute I installed it (Yes, I had to find the software - unlike the other reviewer) I have had nothing but slow speeds. I only get 11mbps. I have another computer next to the one I installed it on and I get 54mbps signal so it is not the distance. I also noticed that it keeps switching from 11 to 5 to 25. I am returning this.

DOA

Pros: Looked fancy with all the features.

Cons: DOA. Motherboard would not boot up. Tried multiple PSU on it and nada.

Overall Review: Newegg is sending me a UPS label to return it for a refund. I think i'll go back with ASUS now.

Bad customer service and packaging.

The package came in damaged. I have reached out for a replacement but still have not heard back.
