In order to allow both WiFi and LAN transfers every Macbook needs this accessory (i.e. a gigabit Ethernet port should be a builtin like most notebooks).

Although the touchpad on current Macbooks make a mouse optional, unlike on a Windows® notebook, the "gesture" capabilities of this 2nd gen mouse may be appreciated.

Chose Canon over HP because of separate color ink & black ink cartridges. Would prefer a printer without scanner, fax and other garbage, but they are virtually extinct. Print quality is good and duplex capability plus WiFi influenced decision.

This Linksys WUSB6300 USB 3.0 adapter enables you to connect your computer to a wireless-AC network, so you can easily stream high-definition video and enjoy high-speed gaming. The WPA-TKIP, WPA2, and WEP protocols help keep data private.
 

what usb do I get to get back wifi on my older computer with windows 7 to connect to my new wifi router connected to my pc with windows 10. The older computer just won't connect to the internet and Linksys suggested usb stick

If your machine has USB 2 ports then this wll get either 2.4 or 5Ghz band (USB 3 is NOT required).

Will this adapter work with Windows XP Home addition? If not, do you have one that will? Thanks!

I’ve only used it on Vista, Win7 and Win10. But if your machine has USB 2 or 3 supported by your XP it should work.

Do you need a modem at home to access the internet, say if I were to plug the usb into my laptop? Or do I simply plug the usb into my laptop and I can access the internet anywhere?

You need a WiFi enabled modem, or a WiFi router, as this is a client for a WiFi network, but it will get your old notebook online at MacDonalds (or other WiFi “hotspot”).

I'm at a hotel with my Dell all in one and the room I'm in is not getting good Wi-Fi connect and wondering if this would help get a stronger connection in my room.....Thanks

Unlikely. The antenna is not the best. Stting next to a WiFi router it showed only 3/4 signal strength when my iPhone showed 100%.

Enjoy crisp, dark text and bright colors when you print from your compatible Canon printer using these Canon PGI-1200 9232B005 high-density ink cartridges, which resist smudging for durability.
 

Can you purchase the individual ink tanks separately?

Yes, when the color you need is “in stock”.

 Speck - CandyShell Case for Apple® iPhone® 6 Plus and 6s Plus - Clear
Speck - CandyShell Case for Apple® iPhone® 6 Plus and 6s Plus - Clear
With a durable dual-layer design and a flexible silicone lining, this Speck CandyShell 73685-5085 case offers durable, military-grade protection for your Apple iPhone 6 Plus or 6s Plus. The raised bezel guards your device's display against scratches.
 

I purchased this case about two weeks ago, but when I went to plug in my ear buds, it would not fit because the one that I received didn't have the two separate openings on the left, instead it have one slot. So, what Best Buy, what am I to do?

My Speck clear case has an oversize hole for the earphone jack (to allow for diameter of the plug). So yours must be an anomaly. Return it for replacement.

Will this clone the registered programs without having to re-register them (i.e.: a registered Office 2010 from one drive to another without having to re-register? I have a couple one time install programs I'd like to keep w/o buying them again)?

Depends on what software you use for backup and type of backup performed.
