Great add-on memory for xbox one

Verified Purchase:Yes
My son's xbox one filled up much faster than expected, but this fixed it. You plug it in, turn on the xbox, and it takes you through all the steps. Solved the problem with minimal expense.

Great for extending your network

Verified Purchase:Yes
My son's room has a good signal at his desk, but nothing on the far side of the room (where his gaming stuff is). We put this on his desk, and now the whole room is online. Computer is connected with Ethernet and all else is wifi, and no lag anywhere. The only drawback is that, occasionally (and for no reason we can find), the unit will lose connection from the main router. Restart it and it goes like a champ again. Seems a small thing every couple of weeks, but that is the only reason for less than 5 stars.

Does the job

Running a gaming rig at the edge of the router's range, so I was getting ridiculous lag. Installed this and it was immediately better. Taped it to the wall 2 feet above my desk, and all lag disappeared. Quick to set up as well.

The EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti hit the perfect spot for that upgrade you know you need, but at the price you want! With the latest NVIDIA Pascal architecture, the 4GB GTX 1050 Ti displays stunning visuals and great performance at 1080p HD.

Great update for older machines

Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed to replace an old Radeon card in a Windows 7 machine. This did the trick. It is PCIe 3.0 but it is backward compatible with the PCIe 2.1 slot I had. It did not even require a separate power connector, yet improved performance incredibly. Not the fastest card on the market, but about the best you can do in an older computer.

I have Verizon DSL with a Verizon Actiontec wireless router. Will this extender work with that router, or must I deal strictly with Verizon?

It will work. No need to even involve Verizon.

How can I use it with my hotspot? I do have unlimited hot spot.

This creates a new network from the outer regions of your old network to extend the range. If you have to be very close to your hotspot to connect to it, this will allow you a lot more distance. If you already have a good range on your hotspot, then this would allow that range to be almost doubled.

will a 430 watt power supply work

It depends on what else is in your rig, but I just put one into an old gateway with 3rd gen i7 processor (that is pretty power hungry) running a 400w power supply, and it works great!

Does this require connection to the power supply or will it run without ?

It has no place for a power supply connection, and it runs great without one.
