Great HDMI Switch Box

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.

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.

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

Verified Purchase:Yes
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.

Great Hard Drive for a great price
on June 3, 2019

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.

Most of the powerline adapters, these included, come in pairs. What if I need an odd number? Can you buy a single extra unit a la carte or must you get an additional pair?
I am an end-user so cannot answer all questions about what is available from the market. What I do know is that I believe they are sold in pairs because one is needed as a transmitter, and one us used at the receiver. That being said, I also know that they will work successfully in odd numbers. I presently have 3 in use, one, of course as the transmitter, one as a receiver for my TV, and one as a receiver for a laptop that consistently has issues staying connected to the WIFI. Extending the virtual Ethernet to that laptop indirectly solved its connection issues.
I might suggest that if you have need for one, you might have need for more in the near future, as I did. I was not able to find a single unit for sale, though I must admit I did not do an exhaustive search. I did suspect that I would have a need for expansion in the future so didn't shy away from having a spare laying around. (At some point in the near future, I plan to update the TV in the guest bedroom from dumb to smart, and when that happens, I will put the spare unit to use.)
I would also suggest that when you select a supplier, be sure to confirm that any units you buy meet the IEEE standard for Ethernet-over-power lines. That way you can be sure that all units you buy will work together, even if sourced from different manufacturers.

i bought it sometime last year, and it just stopped working. My computer wasnt able to read it. ive tried it also at my friends PC, same result. what seems to be the problem?
Hard drives seem to fail randomly. Sometimes they fail with surface defects, but most time its the electronics that fail.
I suggest you double-check online and confirm that unit is still under warranty, then follow instructions to get and RMR so you can return it for a replacement unit.

How do I set google home up
It comes with simple instructions but the setup takes place over your phone. In fact, all accessories I've attached to Google Home have been through the smart phone.
Download the app to your phone. The app will find the assistant, and help you log into your wifi. Once it's online, it can answer your questions.
If you bought any accessories, they too, come with their own app that needs to be downloaded to the phone. Once they are set up, they can be added to the Google app then the assistant will control them. For example, I bought a WEMO smart plug, which I can operate from my phone. I added it to the Google app the plugged my Christmas tree into the plug. Now all I have to do is say "Hey Google. Turn on the Christmas tree." and the assistant responds with "Okay. Turning the Christmas tree on." and the tree lights up.
