Pleasantly surprised! From NY to FL with no issues!

It worked as expected and more: we used this carrier on a road trip from upstate NY (near Rochester) to Tampa, Florida. It has a lot of space, it is easy to install, and the material is very thick. It will be very useful for future trips!

First trip and the NUVI had me going on country roads for a straight forward trip. Settings for fastest route no restrictions for toll roads or highways. Maybe it is just my location Upstate NY that confused it. Probably in LA or NYC there would be no problems. Disappointed so far, but will try again.

This bag is wonderful! I recently moved across the country (from Austin, TX to Seattle, WA) and used it on top of my Toyota Matrix - without a rack. At first I was skeptical if it would flop around in the wind, but was pleasantly surprised when it hardly made a sound! We did have to tighten the straps a couple times (if they loosen, they make noise in the wind), but that was the only issue we had. It holds a lot as well, I packed several XL vacuum-sealed ziplocs of clothes, 2 duffel bags, and an air mattress with no problem. The material is thick, no doubt it would hold up in the rain. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

**I should also note that I read reviews before I used it, and made sure to pack things in the front of the bag to help with it laying flat.**

I have nothing to compare it to, but it worked like a charm out in the middle of Nowhereville in Texas! MY only problem was I forgot how to activate it on my second trip, and because I had no phone and no computer I could not contact Verizon for help! So... I was up the proverbial creek without a paddle. I felt very stupid when I went back to Verizon to tell them I couldn't remember- geez, it really WAS easy. I'm just techno-challenged I guess! Even so, I was able to use it in subsequent trips without a hitch!
I would strongly recommend this product to anyone wanting a wireless modem for travel. I suppose it would be just as good for at-home use, I just never used it for that.

So pleased!  I bought this luggage set to travel out of state and the luggage was easy to maneuver.  The wheels didn't stick and there where handles to lift the suitcases both vertically and horizontally as well has having the slide handle to easily pull the luggage. I was pleasantly surprised to find two zippered side pockets inside the suitcase.  I used those compartments for lotions, oils, and perfumes and the other for toiletries. These things I could keep private and also not risk the oils soiling my clothes if there is a slight leak.  The suitcases are made well, and I love the olive green color that I chose. It will stand out when we travel via air and searching for our bags on the conveyor belt.  The price was really good considering each piece has a good amount of room.  This set will be shared by both me and my husband.  I only needed one of the suitcases to travel.  When we take a trip overseas this will be our luggage set to travel with.  This was a great buy!  My husband was also impressed with the suitcases.  Very functional!

I purchased this battery backup specifically for the airport/airline travel. It was even better than expected! I note only put a full charge on my phone, but my iPad and Paperwhite Kindle were also charged! It's small size makes it easy to throw in your purse or carryon and then charge your electronic device in your lap. Shipping was also fast which was an added relief for me since I ordered it at the last minute.

I recently purchased the PVT-001 and admittedly was skeptical. . . WOW! was I pleasantly surprised! The device worked exactly as advertised. . . it was easy to create my account on the ABSOLUTELY FREE website. . .and, it indeed worked perfectly giving real-time tracking data as well as real-time speed alerts and real-time Geo-Fence alerts! I have found that I can put it almost any where in the vehicle and it works perfectly.  But possibly the biggest surprise for me was that when I took it with me overseas . . .again. . .IT WORKED perfectly. .. just as it did in the US. . .  .What a fantastic experience. . .a product that WORKS. . .finally a product that works as good as the sales slicks says it works. . . with no exception. I would have given the device 6 stars, if that was an option!  I highly recommend this product for travelers, children's back pack, parental monitoring of younger drivers, middle-aged children looking after their older (still driving) parents, package tracking, luggage tracking. . . .I use it A LOT!,

I was unsure how this router would do because of the low price however, it works just as well as any high priced router. Glad I went this route! Shipping was fast!
I was not paid or offered any discount for this product. All reviews and opinions are my own.

I was wary about purchasing this after reading one of reviews about receiving a used item. I bit the bullet anyway as the $30 difference between this unit and a brand new one was too good to pass up. I'm glad I did! The item arrived in perfect condition. It came in a shrink wrapped white box, and the router itself had the transparent film sticker still on it. No cosmetic defects and once I plugged it in, I was able to set it up just fine. This is my second AirPort Express, the first one I bought brand new.

Very happy with my purchase!  Used on multiple road trips and no issues.  So grateful to get a good set of luggage at an affordable price.  I'm a broke college student so the price is very important to me.  I don't know how these hold up to luggage check in airports, but I can't afford to fly anywhere anyway.  These are wonderful for loading up in your trunk and driving to see family and friends on school break.  I like the fun color and that they nest within each other for easy storage!

Works as designed! I brought this to replace the ethernet over thunderbolt cable for my MBP. I am running Ubuntu 14.04 on my MBP and learned that the thunderbolt port is not hot swappable in Ubuntu/Linux. The TB port works fine on boot and does not loose connection until it's unplug. I was constantly going between wifi and wired connection, but could never get back my wired connection. Initially, I thought networking in Ubuntu 14.04 was buggy. Needless to say I decided to buy this device and it worked flawless out of the box. This is USB 3.0 and I did not notice any difference in speed compared to the TB cable

For the uninitiated Apple's ethernet over TB cable supposedly is working as a PVI device - so once unplugged only a full reboot will recognize the device. I've also learned that the TB cable is built by Intel and in typical Apple fashion they are using unorthodox protocols which aren't currently supported by the linux kernel. I consider this a minor consequence since this was an easy fix.

I choose same day delivery - but it was delivered by the notoriously unreliable Lasership company - so of course I did not get this package on time. A day late to be exact. They scared the $#@& out of me knocking on my door after 9pm on a Sunday! It took a second or so for my heart to stop racing, but I immediately knew who it was. After I got my delivery I quickly looked out the window and saw the delivery guy in his personal vehicle with his dome light on shuffling through parcels for the next poor soul who is wondering if he is going to get lucky today...SMH

To be honest - since this was my first same day delivery I was skeptical about receiving this on a Saturday even before I got my tracking number and learned the courier was Lasership.

I'm living in the NYC Area.  Commuting from Queens to Stony Brook, Long Island 3-4 times per week.

Traffic in NYC is a total bear, and no service is perfect, but this GPS has saved my butt MANY times, definitely enough to impress me, and definitely enough to justify the price.  It gives you the option to re-route around traffic.  Between this, 1010 WINS, and Navteq's [...], I'm about as prepared as anyone can be w/o a real-time satellite image.

Skip the bells and whistles.  It's a great little unit and has everything you need.

Bluetooth works great.  I drive a pickup that has a lot of road/wind/misc noise on the highway, but people can still hear me on the GPS speakerphone via bluetooth.

The traffic delays are not accurate, but you can just multiply everything times 5.  If it says 1 minute delay, 5 minutes, etc.  It's new york.

now if it could just get me out of those tickets....

------
Update: I've downloaded a database with red-light cameras to this unit.  It has saved me at least 3 times for speed and red-light cams.  You can do that with just about any unit, though.

I bought this item for two reasons. 1 for security while travelling on vacation and 2 I hoped it would allow me to use my 1 TB hard drive with my Android tablet.
1. The ease of setup with the app for my phone and the tablet was easy and straight forward. My tablet is a RCA 11.6 Maven. Its not what most people buy for tablets but fits my use and integrates well with the router.
2. This router allows my tablet to access my external hard drive without a problem. I was able to access my movies and ebooks with out issue and pictures on the vacation were stored easily.

I was also pleasantly surprised by a email from the seller a day after buying the router on line. They thanked me for buying the product and if there were any problems to contact them with the information provided. I'm old school and you don't see that much these days. I like that and will buy from them again. The router also arrived ahead of time to boot!

The battery in the router lasted between 4 to 6 hours before needing to be plugged into my powered hub. This allowed the router to be carried easily as it fits in you pocket or bag and  the wifi went down in or room we just carried it to the coffee shop had a good cup of joe and conducted our business.

This was not my first choice. I was looking for a different travel router that can be flashed with a more secure system and what I was looking for was sold out or couldn't support the different software I had.

But I'm glad I bought this product and have no regrets!

I have a DHCP account with Century Link (CL) on the east coast. I used to have a CL modem and a Netgear router until my modem from CL stopped working five years later.

DSL-driven modem/router combos are hard to find as all the stores sell mostly cable modem/router combos. I took a chance on this item.

I would like to thank all the other reviewers, especially those who mentioned they had CL accounts too, as I was able to be quite prepared for my telephone calls to CL and to TP-LINK C/S. Luckily, both times I called CL I received two of the most knowledgeable/kind C/S women who gave me the requested info without trying to sell me on CL products or anything like that.

Even though the TP-LINK C/S rep both times I called were offshore (foreign), they were knowledgeable and had me setup in less than 30 minutes. Even though the location is in my basement attached to an old, non-working desktop; I still have full bars of wifi coverage upstairs for my Smart TV and Blu-ray. I'm quite impressed overall!

No horror stories here, as I'm completely satisfied!

I was reluctant to buy this given all the negative reviews here and elsewhere but took the plunge at at C***co where it was on sale for ~$50 which included an AC power adaptor, sync cable and aux in cable.

2 weeks in and I'm very impressed - I've just come back from a vacation in South Carolina and travelled 800 miles each way through 6 states.  Definitely needed my iPod music handy to pass the time!

Reception was good in both urban and rural areas using the automatic ClearScan feature.  For the entire 800 miles I only had to retune (just simply pushing the button) about 4-5 times.

The sound is obviously not quite CD quality but its good enough especially on songs that aren't super quiet.  I also have a tape deck adapator and would put this product at the same level.

The mount itself is sturdy but still lets you flex the gooseneck.  The base also includes an aux out so you can connect the unit either to your tape player via a cassette adapator or to your car stereo's aux in.

In March I was driving to Connecticut from Florida and I bought this in case I got lost in the wilderness and had no cell service. When I left Florida in my flip flops in March, I arrived in Connecticut 24 hours later. I woke the next morning to find 18 inches of snow on the ground! Thankfully, we didn't need to use the atlas, but I prefer to have one and not need it than to not have one and end up needing it! I will buy one for each child as they move out.

Simple to install and works surprisingly well !
