This headset was purchased as a replacement for a headset that kittens chewed the cord from. before purchasing the new headset, I confirmed that it was compatible with usage on a pc, but should have confirmed that "wired" meant that it would have a USB connection. It does not. It has a stereo jack that is incompatible with my pc, so I'm disappointed in it.

I had an old microwave oven with a carosel that stopped turning. Food would not heat evenly as a result. I could find no way to make the carosel reach the turning drive, so decided to replace it. THe new unit from Best Buy works wonderfuly! Even the popcorn setting pops all kernels without scorching. Even the old unit couldn't do that.

With one of us being allowed to work at home, we seemed to use more than a normal amount of ink in the printer.. These cartridges are extra large and outlast all of my previous printer cartridges.

Our previous coffee maker went bad, and would only produce half a cup of coffee, so it was time for a new model. This unit works perfectly, brews great coffee every time, and has held up well.

Partner's laptop was on its last legs, was overheating, had WIFI issues and would shut down by itself at the worst possible time. Bought her this machine to make sure she had something fast and something with lots of memory. The SS drive gives it a fast bootup as well. Excellent machine, probably more so than she might have needed, but there's no such thing as too much, at least in my mind.

Though I have this procuct on my computer at work, after buying a new laptop for partner's home use, I though ti would be a good idea for her to have this option on the machine. It works as intended and allows her to work from home, from time to time.

The household goes through lightning cords like sand through an hourglass. They get lost, they get broken and they get chewed by kittens. This was used as a replacement for one such chewed cord. Worked exactly as intended.

At work, the IT department switches out computers routinely to make sure the engineering Department is not hampered with slow machines. I used this device to attach the old hard drive to the new computer so that I could retain and reuse data from that drive

Turn your powerline into a high-speed network with this TP-LINK AV600 Nano TL-PA4010KIT kit, which features compatibility with HomePlug AV, 802.3 and 802.3u Internet standards and a data transfer rate of up to 600 Mbps. AES encryption protects your data.
 

Hey l, my house only has phone lines and no Ethernet ports. Could this be a short cut.

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here. If you only have phone service and no Ethernet, you are off the grid, so to speak.
These units act as Ethernet extensions so at least one Ethernet port must be available for them to work.

So I just purchased a HP laptop for work and it doesn't have an ethernet port, so I had to purchase an adapter separately. Will this work with an Ethernet-USB adapter ???

I have an HP laptop that randomly decides to go into airplane mode and turns off the WiFi, isolating it from the home network and from the internet. My solution to the problem was to use a pair of these units as Ethernet extensions to that laptop. It functioned for several years in that mode, until one of the paired units failed.

WHAT MBPS speed will it support

It's documentation claims that it will support up to 1GB of bandwidth. I have used a pair to stream HD video to my TV for several years until one of the units failed. Up to that point, the pair had no issue supporting HD streaming to the TV AND to a remote computer.

Is This In-Store?

It is not clear to me what you mean by the term "in-store". I don't believe I was ever able to find these units in any store, but rather always had to find and order them on-line.
I don't know if this answers your question or not.

So do the two adapters need to be on the same electrical circuit? I ask because all my power in the basement runs on its own circuit, and is definitely not on the same circuit as my existing router today.

They are designed to operate on the same circuit, though I have had several units operating on different circuits for some years now.

Will this provide internet to a pc in a remote building 250' away on the same electrical service as my router in the house ?

According to the documentation, it should work. I have had several units in my condo operating on different circuits for a few years, though none of my condo wiring runs come close to what you're trying to do.

Does this product increase download and upload speeds on the ps5 or any gaming console?

Not that I'm aware of. Your upload and download speeds are controlled by your ISP.

Can I use this to hook up a cordless phone? I do not have an available telephone jack

A pair of these devices can be used as Ethernet extensions. If you have a traditional land-line, they won't work.
If you have Ethernet-based phone service, they should work just fine.

Expand your PC or Mac connectivity with this Insignia NS-PCH6430 USB hub, which interfaces with a single USB 3.0 port to enable connection of up to 4 USB devices. A 5V, 500 mAh/port output delivers a rapid charge to compatible devices.
 

What is the difference between 2.0 and 3.0 hub

That's a question best answered by searching the internet. The short answer is that 3.0 is close to 10 times faster than 2.0.

Will this work with a Lenovo Flex 5 laptop?

The unit I bought is connected to a Lenovo laptop. I am not familiar with a Flex 5 model, but if it has a USB output, this device will certainly add multiple USB outputs that might not currently exist.
