After a few cases of Covid hitting the office (all of which were false-positives), we were directed by management to finish out the year by working from home. I soon realized that, though I could join the team meetings and see and hear all that was on the screen, I had no way to participate. Solution: Buy a gaming headset from Best Buy!
Problem solved. Finished out the year without missing a meeting while still being able to participate fully. Device was instantly recognized by the computer, which quickly installed the necessary drivers. Worked like a charm. Though I have returned to the office, I still have the option of working from home in the future, should the need arise.
It's not what the headset was designed for, but who cares?

Old expansion network switch had failed and it took some time to figure out it was me and not the cable company. Bought this replacement, which had more ports than the original, plugged it in and was back online instantly. Worked like a charm, and is still working months later!

The best in the Marvel series!

Verified Purchase:Yes
For those who follow the Marvel series, this one pulled it all together.
Without adding any spoilers, I think it had a few unexplained holes in it, but overall, was great!

All Madea movies are hilarious!

I have what I thought was a complete collection of Madea movies. Looking more closely, I realized one was missing, so I ordered it. It is as funny as all the others, but not my collection is complete.

Danny Cannon directs Sylvester Stallone in the science-fiction action film Judge Dredd, which comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. An English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, and a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. Supplemental materials include the theatrical trailer. This is a fine release from Disney/Buena Vista.

Was missing from my collection
on September 21, 2020
Posted by: HammerinHank
Verified Purchase:Yes
My home server has been giving me some issues as memory began to run low. Scanning for missing movies, I found this one to have disappeared. I bought it to fill in that gap. It has been re-added to my movie collection and I'm back in business.
Stallone has been a favorite of mine over the years and still continues to be so.

H.C. Potter directs Cary Grant in the comedy Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. Warner Bros. issues the film for the first time on DVD with this release which presents the film in the original theatrical aspect ratio. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono; English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible as well. Supplemental materials include a pair of radio broadcasts featuring Grant, a collection of trailers for other films featuring Grant, and the Tex Avery directed animated short The House of Tomorrow. This disc became available the same day as a handful of other Cary Grant films including The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer.

Excellent Movie!
on August 11, 2020
Posted by: HammerinHank
Verified Purchase:Yes
I recall seeing this movie as a young kid and thought it to be hilarious. When I built my own house, and went through the trials and tribulations of that event, it reminded me of the movie.
Any old movie with Cary Grant is automatically a good movie, at least in my mind. This movie is no exception.
I originally had a DVD of this movie I bought at a library fund raiser but that copy had original factory flaws (visible flaws) that made it unwatchable. Now I have a good copy!

Missing from my Pink Panther collection.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was recently taking inventory of my Pink Panther collection and noticed a couple of holes. This movie was one of them. I have always loved the movie series and prided myself on my collection, so had to order this missing gem. Now that I have it, my collection is almost complete. (I'm still waiting for the delivery of Inspector Clouseau (2006), but it is on its way!

The plug-and-play feature worked perfectly.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had a need to extend my virtual Ethernet in the home to a laptop. Said laptop would occasionally go into airplane mode for no reason at all. As the laptop is being used for work-from-home at the moment, it became a big pain to have to continually reboot. I ordered this kit to give me a virtual Ethernet extension, but had concerns that this unit would not be compatible with the Ethernet-over-power-line system already in place. My concerns were premature, as the unit paired instantly and compatibly with the installed system. No more laptop issues!

So much space!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I operate a home server with now over 90 TB of space. That that many drives, I need spares to replace those that occasionally die. I now only buy high capacity and high speed replacements. This was purchased as a spare and hasn’t seen service yet, though I am dealing with a failed drive that will need to be replaced soon. I love long warranties!

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.
