Clear sound, good interface
Customer Rating
4.0
New Moto-E would not auto-answer with a wired head set so I had to go wireless. While inexpensive, this headset interfaces easily with it and provides both one touch connection and two tap last number redial. Works with OK Google commands. Sound is good. One half star off for comfort. The "rubber" ear bud is a bit stiff for long term wear, but that may mean its more durable. One half star off since battery is not replaceable. Well worth the money.

Large speedup for Laptop

When Microsoft upgraded a 18 month old laptop to Windows 10, without asking, my wife complained on how slow it had become. I had the Geek Squad clone the existing hard drive onto this SSD and install it. Most of the speed issues are gone. According to reviews Samsung should last longer than its competitors w/o sacrificing speed.

Works, missing some indicators

Works out of the box. Compared to the professional version it does not indicate whether the link is 100T or 1000T. If its a link the LED is green. Took 1 star off for that

Card is fine, but the version of Android I bought it for (KitKat) effectively doesn't use the SD card so I've re-purposed it for video recording. Supplied adapter made this trivial.

Good but not great

Doesn't show port speed, just connection. Not as good as the pro-version because of that. It does work and provide 1GB non-blocking on all the ports. I guess the simplified things for home use.

I have several computers which has ps/.2 KB and Mouse so I have a 4 port KVM and hung a Belkin 2 port off one of the ports. I use ps/2 to usb converts for computers which need USB keyboards. Tried to put a USB converter between one of the kvm ports and this device and it didn't work at all. I have the four port version of this KVM on a standalone USB setup *usb kb in and out" and it works fine.

Great Deal at BB Minor Upgrade
Customer Rating
3.0
Best buy price was quite a bit less the upgrading through Intuit. Only minor changes in the interface. Have to upgrade if you do stuff on line . Only real fix is that you can now install and run one copy on more that one computer NOT AT THE SAME TIME. The 2013 version didn't allow that.

Is this compatible to any cellphones w/ bluetooth?
There are cell phones it won't connect with. It pairs with a 1st Gen Mote-E which is a few years old. It works with Bluetooth Low Power so you might want to check it out. It did not work with a 5 year old Jabber base station, but that may be that the base will only pair with the original head set that came with it. t wold not pair with an older LG flip phone wich atned Bluetooth version 2.1+EDR. Take you phones in and ask BB staff they can probably advise you. BB does have a return policy, but you can avoid that hassle by asking them. I tested it in the store and it worked.

Talk to BB customer service. They usually can pull up a copy of the receipt. That said you may have to talk to Jabber about exchange since I thing 60 days is beyond BB's return poilicy.

I CANT GET CONNECTED...NEVER SET A PASSWORD, BUT IS TELLING ME I NEED ONE ??? SAYS IT IS INCORRECT PIN OR PASSWORD ???
It should auto pair if both headset and phone are set to auto discover at the same time. It might help if you told us what you are trying to connect width. I was able to connect to a 1st generation Moto-E by following the instructions for both to auto-discover. If there are more than one blue tooth device you may confuse it. Suggest you try it well away from other electronic devices. Reconnecting is a bit slow in my computer room (have seven computers running sometime so I did my pairing in another room. Even so, it takes longer to reconnect in the computer room than in the car for example.

Can I take ethernet wire from my modem run it to the back of the switch then take another wire and hook my axis point to it without using ports on my route
Ah you mean MYAXIS POINT. Yes but why? Only reason would be that you that they both expect to connect to an intermediate device. You might be better off with what is called a 'cross over cable' with that you can connect two computers directly together. Or your modem and you point of sale device. If you can't get a cross over cable then the switch will work.
Background:
Yes but you could NORMALLY connect only one device. Your modem may have a built in router (my old DSL modem did). The function of home routers is to take a single IP address that the world knows about and map that to multiple IP addresses, usually beginning with '192.168.1.' (also known as Network Address Translation). If your connection to the Internet expects to see multiple IP addresses on the side connected to the switch then you don't need a LOCAL router, there is a router external to the modem, but I've never seen that in a home situation. At work we have 128 IP addresses passed to us but that is a commercial connection. My cable modem at home just send over one. The switch just knows about IP addresses that connect to each of its ports, it doesn't know who assigned them.

Is this switch compatible with Cat 6 cables? It says cat 5, I just don't know if that means cat 5 or higher or cat 5 only.
Cat 5 or higher. If its good quality Cat 5 it will support 1000T

Which port does the cable coming in the back of the switch box go in or does it matter ?
All the lan ports are the same so it does not matter.

Is this product useful in an Insignia 10" Tablet?
Correction, thought I was commenting on a different product. It should work fine assuming it has a micro SD shot.
