Does the job

RAVPower 40W / 7.2A 4-Port iSmart USB Wall Charger / USB Desktop Charging Station for iPhone 6 plus, 6; iPad; Galaxy; Kindle; Google Nexus; Nokia Lumia; HTC; LG; External Battery Pack and More (Black)

Pros: Rapidly charges both iPad and Android devices.

Cons: The LED is blazingly bright.

Overall Review: Do not put it in your bedroom. Put it in a hallway or common area as a night light; the LED is that bright. Otherwise, I have no problem with either Apple or Android products recognizing the charger and quickly charging.

Most Critical Review

Fine if you want a simple AP router

TRENDnet TEW-691GR 2.4GHz N450 Wireless Gigabit Router up to 450Mbps Wireless Technology IEEE 802.11b/g/n

Pros: This is a fast router/AP with some advanced settings for those who like to tweak for performance.

Cons: WDS does not work with my primary ASUS router, period. I spent a week off and on trying to get WDS up and running. I would have preferred a bridge or repeater setting, but that was not available in the stock firmware; only WDS which is always iffy no matter the brand. There is no third party software support; not DD-WRT, OpenWrt, or any other (unless you want to start tweaking and building some of these builds yourself).

Overall Review: If you need one AP/router and want speed, then this is a good bet, especially if you can find it on sale. If you need anything more advanced or bridged, forget about it.

I own 2 of these

Pros: Almost 0 wrist strain. Large ball allows for fine movements.

Cons: Actually a little awkward to use for gaming, but excellent for all other applications.
