Works Beautifully!

NETGEAR XAV5001-100NAR Powerline AV 500 Adapter Up to 500Mbps
NETGEAR XAV5001-100NAR Powerline AV 500 Adapter Up to 500Mbps

Pros: I bought 2 of these (this product is 1 adapter so if you need 2 you need to buy 2 as this is NOT a kit which is a mistake I made) and hooked them up to setup a repeater bridge/AP using 2 DD-WRT routers, one Cisco and one Netgear. I wanted these to maintain my gigabit network which was and still is completely gigabit (none of that here XD) and they work very, VERY well. Very happy!

Cons: None to date

Overall Review: I have never been skittish about buying refurbed products as I work retail and know most of the stuff RTV (returned to vendor) is working just has been opened and can't be resold as new. The stuff sent back that is dead is typically stripped and just remade. So I bought these and they immediately synced to each other and just work really well! Would buy again and may very well!

Awesome product!

NETGEAR WNCE2001-100NAR Universal Wireless Internet Adapter For Smart TV & Blu-ray IEEE 802.11b/g/n Ethernet Port Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates WPA2 Manufacturer Recertified

Pros: This is a great product and I've had nothing but good luck with it! I have a gigabit switch hooked up to it and have had a VoIP phone, two desktops and an Xbox all hooked up (three of those all running at once) and it works without a hiccup.

Cons: If you don't have or use WPS, setup is a bit of a pain but it works. http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WNCE2001/WNCE2001_IG_28JULY2010.pdf There is the link that allows you to look and see, on the far right side, how to set it up if you don't have WPS. I have dd-wrt on my WAP so it doesn't have WPS (to my knowledge). No big deal. The instructions are easy enough.

Overall Review: I would highly recommend this to anyone. Great product!

Very fast! VERY GOOD!

TRENDnet 8-Port Unmanaged Gigabit GREENnet Desktop Metal Switch, Fanless, 16Gbps Switching Capacity, Plug & Play, Network Ethernet Switch, Lifetime Protection, Black, TEG-S80G
TRENDnet 8-Port Unmanaged Gigabit GREENnet Desktop Metal Switch, Fanless, 16Gbps Switching Capacity, Plug & Play, Network Ethernet Switch, Lifetime Protection, Black, TEG-S80G

Pros: I hooked this up and it immediately started working. I does take about 20-30 seconds for it to find the device and have it light up on the device but it works very well.

Cons: The holes for putting it on a wall are a little smaller than I would like but that is a very minor thing compared to the actual functionality of the device itself.

Overall Review: I have always liked Trendnet as a brand and would highly recommend them and this product to anyone!

Amazing Little Box!

Vantec NexStar FX Gigabit Ethernet External NAS Adapter - Model NST-600NU
Vantec NexStar FX Gigabit Ethernet External NAS Adapter - Model NST-600NU

Pros: I ordered this because I also bought a printer that is in no way network ready. I first tested this on another printer I own that is in that same boat (as the new one I just ordered and this arrived first). Anyway, it found it and detected brand and model right away. The instructions were very easy to follow and after figuring out the IP of the adapter (which comes with DHCP enabled by default), I remoted into it, set my static IP and it works beautifully! I haven't tried it as an FTP server yet but don't really need it for that as I have a 2TB Seagate GoFlex Home Personal NAS already anyway. The speed is great and it is just awesome! GREAT BUY!

Cons: It does get very hot when running (even if nothing is connected and it isn't transmitting or receiving data). I personally don't care but some people may have an issue with this.

Overall Review: I bought something like this a while ago made by a different company and it was an old model but had a bad experience with it. This one has completely revived my hope in these types of adapters. Great buy and would recommend to anyone I know and some I don't if they were looking for this kind of thing.

Awesome!

Linksys E3000-RM 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4/5GHz Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router
Linksys E3000-RM 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4/5GHz Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router

Pros: I bought this router because it was on a good sale at the time (still at a good price but still almost $10 more than when I bought it right now). Anyway, I have never been real skeptical about buying re-manufactured/refurbished stuff. I work in retail and know that most stuff that is in that category is stuff that got sent back as a return that was still in perfect condition. Moving on, I bought this, loaded DD-WRT on it to unlock functionality and it works BEAUTIFULLY! No problems to date. (*fingers crossed*) Using at my place of work as a wireless access point. A great buy!

Cons: None

Great Printer!

Samsung CLP Series CLP-325W Workgroup Up to 17 ppm 2400 x 600 dpi Color Print Quality Color Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi Laser Printer
Samsung CLP Series CLP-325W Workgroup Up to 17 ppm 2400 x 600 dpi Color Print Quality Color Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi Laser Printer

Pros: Compact, great quality, wireless N

Cons: Slow, inefficient for large volumes of printing, instructions are a bit poor

Overall Review: The printer works great and setup is easy. Took me about 10 minutes. Use the WPS setup with the PIN guide and not the push button guide and that is the easiest was to do it. Anyway, phenomenal quality and lovely little size make it ideal for me. The printer is fairly inefficient as far as cost/page goes so I docked one egg but I knew that going into it so overall it's awesome. It's also a wireless N printer which is still somewhat rare these days. Most printers are still wireless G. So, overall I love it and would recommend this to anyone who wants a color laser and isn't printing a ton. Great buy and thanks Newegg for the quick shipping. Ordered this 2PM on a Wed. and had it by 2PM the next day! Excellent overall buy!
