Works well, less wires!
on January 11, 2021
Posted by: AgentM
Verified Purchase:Yes
I own several of these at different speeds based on location need. Obviously want the fastest one at the router, once paired works quite well. Even if unplugged / power loss, pairs right back up on its own. Saved me tons of re-wiring needs.

Latency disappointing
on January 11, 2021
Posted by: AgentM
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great at first, worked like a champ... got immediate notifications, could monitor in real time. Unfortunately this did not last. Initially everything was great, after a short time, latency in notifications and video has grown, almost 2 full minutes for video to show on App with same configuration where is used to be immediate. Maybe throttled due to not signing up for premium service, but this is not called out. Doorbell flaky from start, low / changing light conditions send chime solenoid into a nervous fit... also get random erroneous "tamper" notifications, triple checked all wiring & connections.

Super handy, paired right up with my already owned av1000. Used this to relocate my VoiP phone base station without having to run additional wired. 600mbps speed is plenty for my application, I do use faster devices where needed. Also love the small package on the nano, much less obtrusive.

Somewhat disappointed
on January 11, 2021
Posted by: AgentM
Verified Purchase:Yes
Plastic construction is not as durable as hoped. Opening / accessing keys can be tricky / requires 2 hands. Low battery notification to App would be nice. App location tracking is spotty at best, even within paired device range. After several weeks discovered by lagging location history, device/keys are somewhere in my car, yet to locate. Suspect it slid out of my pocket & down between seats somewhere. There is a locate phone option to ring phone (from keysmart device), but no locate keys tone which seems odd.

Not exactly as presented, image portrays a smaller "desktop" style package, where shipped product is a full tower. Specs match and the cabinet, in this case, was not a deal breaker. So far works as expected, purchased as a gift.

Works well, great and economical option. Was considering a whole new system and all that goes with that, but this magical little device lets me connect my smartphone to my older 2004 Silverado radio with no wires or external connections, using the perfectly fine amp & speakers to listen to what I want, when I want. Charging ports are a great bonus!

Setup your Garmin n~vi GPS with this Insignia dashboard mount. The 360-degree rotation and 90-degree tilt let you view your device clearly from different angles, while the nonskid design prevents sliding by providing a secure, firm grip. This black Insignia dashboard mount has a low profile that bends to the contours of your dashboard for flexibility.

Doesn't work as well as I hoped. I had to set a velcro sticker to make it stay in place. And not tall enough.

The Birdfy AI Smart Hummingbird Feeder is fun, educational, easy to install, and makes a great gift for anyone with an interest in birds and the outdoors.With its dual, weatherproof, AI enabled, solar powered, high-definition (1080p) wireless cameras - lets you feed and then simultaneously view, record, and identify hummingbirds with your smart phone, tablet, or computer. Using motion-detection, day or night, it senses when there is a hummingbird visiting and records audio and video, from two separate vantage points, and sends you a real-time activity notification via the free Birdfy app. The AI system recognizes and differentiates between 6,000+ bird species and is included at no extra charge for the life of this product. The feeding station features a large capacity 20oz, BPA-free, anti-UV, nectar reservoir with ant moat. The solar panel is purposely separate from the main unit to allow for optimized placement and improved performance, because where you may want to put the bird feeder is not always the best place to capture the most sun, so added installation flexibility is a plus.

If you have incoming internet, this should work. Typically you would have a modem connected at some point to interface with your provider.

Does this ASUS router's android app have the capability to notify you when a new unrecognized device connects to your network?

Upnp function can be set to send connection requests to a locally network connected PC, so this may provide the function you need. General operation does not have connection notifications, but does have very advanced limiting / blocking capabilities and network protection plus drill-down (to individual device) traffic monitoring and restriction settings.
