Great HDMI Switch Box
on April 10, 2020
Posted by: HammerinHank
Verified Purchase:Yes
After running out of ports on my smart TV, and getting tired of having to manually trade off connections, I bought this remote switch to do the work so I don't have to leave the couch! As long as I keep track of what device is in which port, all is well. (So I created a cheat sheet to remind me.)

My smart TV ran out of HDMI ports.
on April 10, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
My smart TV ran out of HDMI ports so was forced to purchase a multiport eswitch to allow all the devices I plan to connect to the TV. Along with the necessary switch, I needed cables, so bought several. Should have enough now to hold me for some time to come.

As with my previous review of Castle in the Sky, this is another in the series that I believe my grandkids need to know before they grow up.

The USB 3.0 7-Port HUB allows up to seven USB 3.0 devices to be connected simultaneously at a transmission speed of 5 Gbps, while still providing connectivity and support for the older USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and 1.1 (12 Mbps) devices. It works with high-bandwidth SuperSpeed USB 3.0 devices, such as an external disk drive, high-resolution webcam, multi-channel audio and more. In addition, it supports fast charging for smartphones, tablets and iPad.

Worked flawlessly

My small-frame workstation has lots of power, but very few ports. The unit I was using had a couple of failed ports, so needed to purchase a new unit. With this addition to my workstation, I have plenty of USB ports available.

Great little portable storage device

I had a need to exchange a large number of files with a friend so thought I would allow the exchange through this device.
It comes with imbedded software so doesn’t require any formatting prior to first usage. It functioned as expected and files were successfully exchanged.

Store edited photos, videos, and games on this 3.5-inch Western Digital hard drive. It has dynamic cache for optimizing allocation between reads and writes, and there's plenty of space to store files with its 4TB capacity.

Great Hard Drive for a great price

from Dublin, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I operate a home server more or less as a hobby. It's forcing me to learn Linux but it also challenges other technical abilities, which isn't a bad thing. The server has over 15 drives in it so I expect occasional failures. This unit was purchased as a replacement. I try to buy replacement drives that are larger and faster than those being replaced. This unit will replace a 2TB, 5400 rpm device.

Setup was quick and easy. Before long I had linked an outdoor LED light set, an internal smart plug, and my Spotify account to the unit. It was just fun to say "Hey Google, turn on the Christmas tree!" and to have the tree light up.

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.
