Pros: Good driver support for Vista/7, good range, decent speed, compact.

Cons: Driver supplied by Rosewill for Linux is almost useless.

Overall Review: If using with Ubuntu 10.04 there are two things you need to do. 1. Apparently Ubuntu 10.04 (the newest kernel) is presently having incompatibility issues with WPA (1), so to use this authenticate properly with your router you will have to set your wireless router to WPA2 ONLY (NOT WPA/WPA2 mode). Research on www dot ubuntuforums dot org or launchpad dot net slash ubuntu for updates to check if this has been resolved. 2. You have to blacklist the re2800usb driver in ubuntu (the wrong driver is claiming this hardware in the OS). To do this: 1. Open terminal 2. Type: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf Then a gedit viewer will open 3. At the bottom of the file add a line: blacklist rt2800usb 4. Save/Exit the conf file. 5. Reboot I have used this on 4 wildly varying hardware platforms running Ubuntu and it has worked every time.

Pros: Large Capacity, Low Price.

Cons: Slow, Slow, doesn't have hole for key ring attachment must use lanyard loop (not included), cap fits on back end very poorly (and not securely) and it had 2(!) price drops for a total of $ 10 in the first two days after I bought it as the Shell Shocker deal... A price drop AFTER it was the shell shocker?!?! >: (

Overall Review: One of the very very few purchases I regret making over the last several years...

Pros: The feature set this router gives you for the money is nothing short of astounding. Extremely solid build. Not excessively loud or hot. Multiple options for VPN client/bridge. Huge throughput capacity. GigE everywhere. Lifetime warranty. Have yet to notice a dropped LAN connection of any kind after more than a year.

Cons: Proper configuration for complex networks can be tricky, has glitched out more than once with improper combination of settings requiring a factory reset/settings rebuild. Config portal is not as lightning fast as I would have hoped (but not terribly slow either).

Overall Review: I have setup three of these for small businesses. Two in a permanent IPsec bridge for one business. The VPN bridge is insanely stable, will usually auto-reconnect after any disruption, after over a year I have only had to manually reset/restart the connection twice. Throughput over the IPsec VPN connection is also very very fast for a router in this price range. SSL VPN is tricky to get working, but I have found the much easier SSL Port Forwarding is all you really need in most circumstances anyway. All three of these that I have setup handle VoIP data without issue. QoS can be tricky to understand, but if you know what you are doing these routers can accommodate anything. But if you don't have the upstream bandwidth to handle the VoIP data outbound, no router can help you. Domain integration for VPN client credentials/console login is a very nice feature. This router also has an extensive set of logging and monitoring features that can come in very handy when problems a

Pros: This remote will control basically any IR device ever made or will learn the commands from an existing remote. Easy setup (more complicated/customizable than it looks at first glance), while also providing extensive tweaking opportunities. Software and code availability can be updated by Logitech. (we'll see how often updates actually come down the pike...)

Cons: Expensive, RF extender sold separately. Doesn't control Wii/PS3 out of the box, not sure if the RF extender would solve that problem, but there is an IR adapter available for the PS3, haven't found one for the Wii.

Overall Review: While I like it's overall design and look, the gloss finish can get a little clammy if your used to continually holding the remote in your hand when casually watching TV, it is also a fingerprint magnet. The buttons are all back lit and the back light will come on when the remote senses motion (or by magic, I'm still not sure), so no more blindly tapping a key just to get the back light to come on! And one of my favorite bits is that all of the buttons give a very satisfying 'click' when pressed, yay for old fashioned haptics! This remote also has the ability to tune directly to a specific input on my Samsung 650 LCD. Both the factory remote and the TV's on board buttons require you to cycle through all of the inputs to get to the one you want, I was very surprised it could do this when the factory remote couldn't. I have tried out several of the lower end Harmony models in realistic settings, and if there is any way you can afford it I would STRONGLY recommend this model.

Pros: THIS WILL TAKE A COMPONENT OUTPUT AND ALLOW YOU TO DISPLAY THAT SIGNAL ON A DVI-I COMPATIBLE MONITOR/PROJECTOR/HDTV.

Cons: THIS WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TAKE A DVI-I SIGNAL AND DISPLAY IT ON AN SD/HDTV THAT HAS COMPONENT INPUTS. CABLES THAT DO THE AFOREMENTIONED CONVERSION DO EXIST BUT NEWEGG DOESN'T CARRY ANY OF THEM.

Overall Review: GOOGLE "DVI-I TO COMPONENT" AND YOU WILL FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.
