Most Favorable Review

Does what it is intended to do

TRIPP LITE N250-012 12-Port Cat6 Wall-Mount Vertical 110 Patch Panel
TRIPP LITE N250-012 12-Port Cat6 Wall-Mount Vertical 110 Patch Panel

Pros: Cat6, quality connectors and punch block.

Cons: Does not do my kid's homework, or walk the dog.

Overall Review: plastic mount was suspicious, but built very well. Has 4 tabs that hold the metal in place.

Most Critical Review

NOT RECOMMENDED!

StarTech.com VGASPL1VV 1 ft. VGA to 2x VGA Video Splitter Cable - M/F
StarTech.com VGASPL1VV 1 ft. VGA to 2x VGA Video Splitter Cable - M/F

Pros: Splits Video from 1 input to 2 outputs.

Cons: Ghosting, and image distorted.

Overall Review: I needed this for a CCTV installation to split 1 VGA signal into 2 separate signals for monitors in 2 locations. The first monitor was only a few feet away which worked well. The second monitor was a 35' run to a different office which had terrible ghosting. When both monitors were hooked up, the main monitor that was a few feet away got very dim.

Perfect

IOGEAR GVS62 2-Port VGA Video Splitter
IOGEAR GVS62 2-Port VGA Video Splitter

Pros: Splits signal from 1 output to 2 outputs. Very good image quality across both monitors.

Cons: None

Overall Review: You need a male to female VGA cable for this to work. Should be included IMO for the price. But worth the buy if you need to split VGA to 2 monitors.

Good router, does the job

LINKSYS E3000 Wireless Router simultaneous Dual Band Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4GHz / 5GHz up to 300Mbps with USB Built-in UPnP AV Media Server
LINKSYS E3000 Wireless Router simultaneous Dual Band Gigabit 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4GHz / 5GHz up to 300Mbps with USB Built-in UPnP AV Media Server

Pros: Gigabit ethernet. Easy setup (if you use stock firmware), flashed to DD-WRT as soon as I opened it. Stock firmware is nice, but in our corporate environment for guest access, we have had to reboot this thing numerous times for connection issues. Flashed to DD-WRT and everything was flawless.

Cons: Runs a bit on the hot side. Does not FLY!!! Cisco/Linksys stock firmware.

Overall Review: The router is great for the everyday user. Just be sure to keep this thing well ventilated or it will overheat and shutdown on you. Only reason for the 4 egg is the stock firmware, and cooling issues. Cisco/Linksys should do what Buffalo did and package all their higher end residential equipment with DD-WRT.
