Edimax BR-6428n 802.11n/g/b Wireless Router up to 300 Mbps, with Intelligent iQoS feature for bandwith management over Media, P2P, WEB, Download, and Gaming, plus Green technology to save electricity

Pros: Very good speed and easy to use after updating firmware. Bought this router to go with the new Blast speed from comcast, and so far it has been great for a few hours. Hopefully it is more reliable than my previous router. Initial set up could not get the router to connect to the modem. No matter what I did, the router couldn't get the IP from my modem. I had to make a call to tech support to fix it. I give 5 eggs for their great support. No wait! I could talk to tech support instantly, and the lady sounds technical

Cons: Came with firmware version 1.3 which was very out of date and caused bunch of issues. I could not get the wireless security to set up completely. Once I select WPA, I could not go back to WEP in firmware 1.3. I then upgraded to firmware1.17 and everything was set smoothly.

Spyder Auto X-Tune Super White H11 12V 55W Halogen Light Bulbs
Spyder Auto X-Tune Super White H11 12V 55W Halogen Light Bulbs

Pros: easy to install

Cons: put these bulbs in April and one of them died after 5 months....much shorter than I expect. When this order came I notice the package was damaged which I was too lazy to call and contact the seller. I dónt know if this contributed to the low quality. I just ordered another pair and give them another try. For now, my rating is 1 egg

very cool

Pros: 1. 4 outlets for TVs, security camera, heater 2. 5 USB ports for my mobile devices like phone, tablet, usb recorder... 3. strong built material 4. cords look organize when all connected. 5. one on/off switch to power on/off the strip when not in use. 6. labels are all well written 7. Easy plug in/removes cable and power cords 8. surge power cable is in good 5ft length 9. great for home use as well as office at work 10. good size to pack on travel as well

Cons: 1. no individual on/off switch for each usb port. 2. no cover for those unused outlets 3. no ethernet or coax ports

Overall Review: I had a great experience with another Qicent power surge, so decided to have another one to use in my garage where I have my router, modem and security camera.... It has served me well. Love it. This power surge is also small so I can take it along for travel if I want to.

One one strip for many devices

QICENT SC-6A5U-US-WH Home & Office Surge Protector W/ USB AC Multi-Outlet Travel Power Strip & 2500 Joules 4.9ft. Extended Power Cord
QICENT SC-6A5U-US-WH Home & Office Surge Protector W/ USB AC Multi-Outlet Travel Power Strip & 2500 Joules 4.9ft. Extended Power Cord

Pros: 1. I can hook up many devices to the strip, from TV, dvd player, game console, to Android phone, iphone5s, hotspot device... 2. Very well built material 3. There are a lot of spaces between the outlet, so the cords don't look crowded on the strip 4. On/off switch so I can quickly turn off the strip when not in use for a long time (when I go on vacation for example)

Cons: 1. I wish there are individual on/off switch for each usb port so I can turn off those I do not use 2. I wish there are cover for those unused outlets to protect them from dirt

Overall Review: none at this moment

RAVPower is GREAT POWER!!!

RAVPower® Savior 9000mAh External Battery Pack Built-in Micro-USB connector and AC Plug,Travel Charger, iSmart(tm) Broad Compatibility.For iPhone 5S 5C 5 4S, iPad mini, Galaxy S5 S4 S3 and More
RAVPower® Savior 9000mAh External Battery Pack Built-in Micro-USB connector and AC Plug,Travel Charger, iSmart(tm) Broad Compatibility.For iPhone 5S 5C 5 4S, iPad mini, Galaxy S5 S4 S3 and More

Pros: 1. come with AC plug to charge the power bank without an additional cable. 2. has an attached microUSB cable to charge mobile device, so again no additional cable needed. If you have device charged by microUSB cable. No more hassle to carry an additional cable with you. 3. has an empty usb port, so you can charge another mobile devices. I currently reserve this spot for my wife's iphone while I use the attached microUSB for my phone. 4. come with travel pouch to protect the power bank 5. come with 1 more microUSB cable and 2 converted headers (1 from MicroUSB to MiniUSB, 1 from MicroUSB to Samsung 30-pin) 5. Automatically charge when I plug the device into the power bank. No need to press the power button. Sweet! 5. LED light to indicate the battery level on the powerbank. 6. I can charge the power bank while I am using the powerbank itself to charge 2 other mobiles devices.

Cons: 1. The plastic cover for the USB port is very tight. It took me some force to remove it. 2. no converter for Apple lighting connector. If you are an Apple fan, you need to carry a cable with you. Workaround: I see some online deal sells this type of converting microUSB-to-lightning connector for like $1.49. Buy it and this problem is solved.

Overall Review: Some experiences on the power charged to my phones by the power bank: 1. Nokia 630 phone: I plugged it into the power bank at 4:47PM with 27% meter on the phone. 10 minutes later, the phone's power level jumped to 35% 2. iPhone 5s: I plugged it into the power bank at 5:44PM with 82% meter on the phone. 20 minutes later, the phone's power level jumped to 92%

A lot of juices for a small bank

RAVPower® 3rd Gen Deluxe 15000mAh External Battery Portable Dual USB Charger 4.5A Output Power Bank. iSmart(tm) Broad Compatibility. For iPhone 6 6 plus 5S 5C 5 4S, iPad Air Galaxy S5 S4 S3(Black)

Pros: A lot of juices for a small bank I opened the box, and I could start charging my iphone5s and Nokia Lumina 630 right away multiple times. I kept charging at least 3 times for these phones, but the power bank never ran out of juices. I wanted to drain out the power bank to review how long it takes to charge the bank, but It had not drained yet after many usages...Amazing....this powerbank is surely a monster. One thing I noticed, once I plugged my phone into the bank, it automatically charged the phone without me touching any button. Compared to previous model powerbank i own, I needed to press the power button to trigger the charge. This is a big improvement. Since the bank was not drained out after charging my phone multiple times, I decided to plug in my Samsung Galaxy 3 tablet 10.1". I used the 2.4A port on the power bank. The tablet had 40% @10:43A and 30 minutes later, it jumped to 54%. So the battery was 14% up after 30 minutes. Sweet! About 45 minutes later, my tablet hit 75% on the battery and at this time the power bank was completely drained out... To recharge the power bank, I plugged it in using a 5v adapter at 8:40AM today. 9 hours later, I stopped and the power bank's LED showed it 75% full. So in my opinion it will take a while to charge this monster full. Anyway this is a great power bank. It has a lot of juices for anyone who is hunger for power for their mobile devices on the run. Compared this one vs previous model, I prefer this new model since it now has a LED flash light as well as a LED indicator for the power on the bank. Awesome!

Cons: not really...maybe a bit heavy
