Why buy anything else?

BUFFALO WLI-CB-G54HP Wireless Notebook Adapter
BUFFALO WLI-CB-G54HP Wireless Notebook Adapter

Pros: As with all of the other Buffalo products that I have purchased, it installed easily and was up and running within 5 minutes. Great signal strength, no drop outs, no problems.

Cons: A little pricy compared to other vendors, but it works the first time, every time.

Most Critical Review

Not Up to Toshiba's Standards

TOSHIBA 1TB Canvio Basics 3.0 Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model HDTB210XK3BA Black
TOSHIBA 1TB Canvio Basics 3.0 Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 Model HDTB210XK3BA Black

Pros: It has the Toshiba name on it.

Cons: Sloooow. Copies from the hard drive to this external start 8-12 MB and can slow down even more, sometimes as low as 200kB . It should have a built in alarm to wake me when it finishes.

Overall Review: It did last almost 2 weeks. Talk about quality control.

What a pile of

Linksys WRT54GL 802.11b/g Wireless Broadband Router up to 54 Mbps/ Compatible with Open Source DD-WRT (not pre-load)
Linksys WRT54GL 802.11b/g Wireless Broadband Router up to 54 Mbps/ Compatible with Open Source DD-WRT (not pre-load)

Pros: It arrived on time.

Cons: It will not work with my Vista PC. Prior to buying, I checked and it is listed as Vista compatible. I called Linksys and spent 3 hours on the phone. The last thing they wanted to do was for me to update the software on my wireless device - Atheros. They said to do that then call back. I updated the driver and called back. Then I was told that the router is "out of date" and the only thing they could do was to transfer me to some support group but I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THE SUPPORT.

Overall Review: I am not to happy the Newegg is selling devices that are so old that the manufacturer will not support the device.
