Stream videos, game lag-free and more with this TP-LINK TL-WN823N mini wireless USB adapter, which features a speed of up to 300 Mbps and works with IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless standards. The WPS button easily creates a reliable and secure WPA2 connection.

I purchased this for use with an older desktop running XP. I use this machine to attach external hard drives that serve as a local backup for photos and what not.
The good news is it is easy to install. Pretty much plug and play.

My biggest issue with the device is the slow connection speed. There are many issues here some of which may not be the fault of the device itself. The windows icon in the lower coner of the screen typically shows the device only connected at 1Mbps and this is with it simultaneously showing signal strength "very good". I have done some testing and it appears to be transferring for me at a rate of between 5 - 10 Mbps. That is pretty disappointing.
I have tuned my network by selecting the best channel for the wireless router and a few other things but nothing seems to help. I attempted to post on the TP-Link user forum but I registered and never get an email from them so I can complete the process and post a question.
This is the first and only wireless adapter I have ever purchased so I have no baseline for comparison. Good news is my desktop now has no wires. Bad news is accessing photos or other data from my Windows 10 laptops is fairly slow.
I guess for $15 it's not too bad.

Keep up with your incoming calls and messages with this AT&T CRL32102 expandable cordless phone that features talking caller ID and a digital answering system. DECT 6.0 technology ensures optimal coverage and call clarity.

Phone is billed as good for senior citizens. It does have large buttons but nothing else that is overly senior friendly.
My primary reason for the low rating is the overly complicated navigation menu. The first thing my mother asked when I set her phone up was how do I turn off the ringer if I want to take a nap. Unfortunately, this phone has no simple way to do the task. It takes 7 seperate menu selections to reach the screen to change the handset ringer volume. Needless to say my 78 year old mother was unable to navigate the menu.
