Excellent temporary cell phone service provider

What a great price for a temporary cell phone service provider. Especially when you consider that you can extend it out as long as you want. I believe the last time I used it, it connected to the Verizon network.

If you are a little bit OCD about cleaning your ears, and you are a little bit techy, this is the perfect product for you. Basically a camera, with light, contained within a tool that allows for changeable tips to clean your ear canal. The camera easily connects with the Android app (if you use iPhone, move along). I immediately fell in love with this product. Tragically, I inadvertently broke the main camera unit on the first one I purchased. It had nothing to do with any sort of design flaw, and was entirely due to my clumsiness. At any rate, I reordered another one the same day.

TracFone makes it easy to ground your children and take their screens, but still provide them with the ability to contact you, and for you to contact them, in an emergency. 15 bucks a month for unlimited calls and texts. I know that's significantly less expensive than it was for my parents landline back in the 1970s. And they couldn't text. This is a great deal. I believe when I was using it, it was connecting to the Verizon network and the speeds were fine.

I purchased this phone for my son, so that he could have a cell phone while he was grounded. I can't believe how good this phone is compared to the first flip phone I ever purchased. And my first phone cost about $400; this is only $20! These are great phones to have around if you need to ground your kids and take their screens away from them but still want to be able to contact them in an emergency. You can purchase unlimited text and phone calls for $15 from TracFone each month. No automatic renewal. I cannot believe how cheap this phone is, given everything it can do.

I'm in love with this drive. It is about half the size of the typical smartphone, and easily fits in one's pocket. I got the two terabyte model on sale at a price I just couldn't pass up. The one terabyte model would be a good option for those looking to save a little money. This makes for the perfect, "Break glass in case of emergency," sort of backup drive. I was getting consistent write speeds of around 160 mb per second. The drive comes pre-installed with SanDisk security software to help you encrypt the drive, should you choose to do so prior to use.

Very simple setup and integration with Wi-Fi. Very easy to connect to your phone. The amount of data this scale collects is unbelievable at the price point. It provides much more information than I require. If you are a fitness nut, consider this scale over one of the more expensive ones. My only complaint is the scale itself could be slightly larger. It is not designed for individuals with large feet.

Easy as pie. Plug in your cables anywhere, plug the switch into an outlet, and you are on your way. I cannot understand any of the negative reviews. This product does exactly what one would expect it to do, and the price is very reasonable. You can use crossover cables, Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat6, or mix and match, and it works it all out. My connection passes through another Netgear switch (with many more ports) before connecting to my router, and I have numerous devices connected to my internet. But see my speeds in the attached photo. No complaints about this switch at all.

When I first connected and set up this router, I was extremely disappointed at the throughput. I have gigabit internet, but initial speed tests showed only around 400 Mbps for both upload and download. Luckily, I am fairly savvy about networking, and I was able to determine the QOS (quality of service) function was the likely culprit. After disabling QOS, my speed increased to a more typical 815 Mbps for download, and 950 Mbps for upload.
The web-interface for this router is definitely geared toward non-technical users. I think many consumers may therefore inadvertently decrease their bandwidth by turning on QOS. To be fair, this may not be an issue with slower internet connections. But if you have fiber internet, you would be well advised to disable this feature.
Other than the above mentioned issues, the router is easy to set up. This router cannot accept third-party firmware (e.g. DD-WRT or Tomato), so if that is what you want, purchase a different model. Coverage is very good, and wi-fi signal strength seems excellent. Connections also seem very stable so far. If you are a power user, another router may be better for you. But if you are a typical user, this router is a good deal. I purchased this for $155, which is a great price for a gigabit router with above-average wi-fi.

If I purchase 30 days of service and then let it expire for 3 months, when I add another 30 days, will I keep the same phone number?

Can you pair, each earbud, independently, meaning, can I pair each earbud to a different device and use at the same time?
They are not designed to be used in such a way. The earbuds will connect to each other when in close proximity and out of the charging case. You can, however, use one earbud on its own, and you can pair the earbuds to multiple devices. Thus, theoretically, you could habitually use one earbud for one device, and the other earbud for a different device. But, as I said above, if they are out of the case at the same time, and in close proximity, they will connect with each other and be useable with only one device at a time. If you need the functionality you are asking about, you should purchase a different product.

Hi, I do NOT have an internet/cable provider. i was wondering if a router alone would provide wifi? or would i need to actually have optimum, xfinity, direct tv etc something to receive wifi ?
The router will provide wifi in that you will see a wireless network you can connect to. But without an internet provider, there will be no data for your router to send. So, if you want to access the internet, stream movies, etc., you must have an internet provider.

I actually have this router & am currently using a Cat-5e. The internet works great, but I'm paying for 100mbps and getting 26mbps through the router. I get 105mbps directly connected to the modem. Firmware is updated. Would a different cable help?
I had this same problem. I solved it by disabling the QOS function (called "Media Prioritization" in the web interface). Changing cables should make no difference, as Cat-5e is more than enough cable for the throughput you will get.
