This just wasn't for me. I'm not sure if the one I received may have been a bit defective or if they are just this way. With my experience, it was fine when I used it just for e-mail and Facebook but when I added a few games, it started to lag very bad and I could not play any of the games. Very easy return process, though.

I am not a techie. So all I can do is tell you how I like from a daily email Facebook web surf standpoint. I really do like it and it works fast and good what I use it for  It was well worth the price

Its okay. Sometimes it worked other times it didn't. Not bad if you are want to block websites but when you give allowance to visit a site you have to go in and add it. It became a pain for me and I ended up just disconnecting it. Its okay for blocking.

When it worked... it was fine but every once in awhile, especially if I rebooted a computer connected to it, it would stop recognizing and passing through to one of the computers.  When this occurred I would spend an hour rebooting, unplugging/replugging and such to get it to maybe work.  I eventually gave up and returned it.

Strangely enough, it worked great when I first set it up. The software had to be repaired after the install, but then it worked fine. I setup a feed from my Flickr account, and that worked flawlessly... at first.

Now it won't connect to the Internet or something, and the software hangs when I try to change the settings. What a pain. As a software developer - including high reliability radio applications, live DJ programs and more, I know how hard it is to make great software... but this isn't acceptable.

I would have bought several more of these for my family members around the country so that they too could see the feed... but a cheapo laptop with a little custom software would be a better choice.

I've had this unit for almost a year, and it hasn't worked at all most of the time. There are rare days when it works without a hitch and the music streams from our server just fine, accompanied by a slide show, but those days are the exceptions. Most days are like today, when the EZ-Stream informs us that there was a "browsing error" and that it was "unable to connect to the PC." Now, the odd thing about this is that the PC is able to connect to the EZ-Stream just fine. The unit has an HTTP server, allowing you to connect through a browser and change the settings. You'd think that if the PC can see the receiver, the receiver would be able to see the PC.

If you're planning to connect to the unit via ethernet cable, you might have better luck, but I can't recommend this for wireless operation. Configuring the receiver from the remote is an awkward and time-consuming process, since you have to use the up and down buttons to scroll through the ASCII character set -- something you have to do if your system is encrypted -- and when something goes wrong with the setup, it takes a long time to check everything.

The firmware on the EZ-Stream is upgradable, but SMC hasn't offered a new version since late last year. Unless SMC addresses the problems with this unit, you'd do well to consider any of the other products in this area.

This adapter is plugged into a desktop PC running Windows 10. After using it for almost a year now, I can say it's okay but not great. My desktop is not located near the router and I didn't want to run a long cable; however, this is an older desktop so it didn't have a wireless card either. So I bought this adapter to see if it could help connect to the Internet. And it does...a lot of the time. I'm not a technology-oriented person, so I can't pinpoint why I experience connection issues, but I recently moved my router so now it's on the same floor of the house as this desktop, and the issues are still present.

Initially when I bought this adapter, I don't think there were Windows 10 drivers so I looked on the Internet (I think someone mentioned in their review) for a compatible driver for another brand. That seemed to work alright. Then two months ago, the desktop wouldn't connect to the Internet at all, so I uninstalled the adapter and found out that Rosewill had added Windows 10 drivers for this product on their website. I downloaded the drivers (using another computer) and reinstalled the adapter. It's working again now, but still not 100% consistent. Also, when I initially tried to plug the adapter in the back of the desktop, but I couldn't get any reception that way and had to plug it into a front usb port, which is an annoyance since I only have two usb ports in the front.

Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this for someone trying to use the adapter in the same way I have. Any questions, please comment.

I used this primarily for phones, a Kindle, and an iPad, rarely all ports at once. I got it in May 2015, and it started getting hit-or-miss on the fall. Well, last week, with only a Karma device, a portable phone battery and a phone plugged in, I heard a pop, and smelled the unmistakable scent of cooked electronic gear. Yep, it was dead.  I liked it a lot while I had it, but there may be some QC fails out there.

I was having problems with the size of e-mails that I could send with the old Outlook.  I bought the new version and all is working well. The only thing that I have found that disappoints is that when you "search people" it no longer has a recall list of previously searches, which means that you have to type in the names all the time.  This is a little annoying but definitely not a game changer.

I had trouble getting my Chromebook on line until my grandson showed me how. Now it works fine for sending e-mails and perusing the internet from motel rooms or our children's houses when we travel.

I received this as a birthday gift in May from my husband. As an e-reader, it is great. For anything else, it's just ok. The keyboard is a mess to use. I use it a lot to surf the web, it is just slow and gets hung up easily. I have had several aps crash on me regularly. The touch screen is a little hard to use depending on the site. Like I said earlier, as an e-reader, I have no complaints. Using it for anything else is disappointing.

My 2nd generation iPad was getting old and stuttering in its response time, despite wiping it and keeping the apps to a minimum.  It was time for a replacement. As I
Mainly only do browsing and Facebook, I didn't need another high priced iPad, so I bought this tablet based on the reviews.  I am disappointed to discover that I can't use this device with a Bluetooth speaker and streaming Internet without the device slowing down and stuttering, as it really doesn't have enough hardware beef to satisfy the bandwidth requirements, but it's good enough for Internet browsing and email.

It's not the kind of thing you'd use every day, as I found out - it's for occasional use only - pretty good for controlling a movie on your media pc but no good for emailing/internet/wordprocessing/etc and absolutely rotten for games. And then it broke about 6 months after I got it. Now I need another solution, this isn't the answer to anyone's question....

This card was pretty cheap, but it didn't last. I bought this a little over a year ago, and it just failed on me.  While it was working, it was used every day in my phone, and occasionally swapped over to an action camera. It performed perfectly for both applications. I have another MicroSD card from SanDisk that has been ticking away for a few years without issue, so this one might have just been a dud..

I was using Front Page 2000, together with Win 98 and Office 97, without much trouble and got my things going, but once I decided to install the new "upgrade" for Front Page 2002, my whole system drove crazy.
Now the system constantly crash when using Outlook and Internet Explorer - almost make my PC unusable.
This problems are not mentioned in any known information source I have looked into. I'm almost decided to dump the new Front Page in my garbage can and go back where I was - when I was able to use my PC without restarting it 5 or 6 times a day.

Item was bought on March 2012....today is March 12th, 2013.

Right out of the box the router worked fine, and had a stronger signal than other routers I've tried (linksys, buffalo and asus), however data transfer and internet connection was almost impossible whenever the signal got below two bars, this included laptops, phones, ipads, etc.  The usable practical range was increased about 20 to 30% more as compared to the other routers.  I live in an apartment with solid concrete walls and the elevator shaft running in the center. With this arrangement I need 3 networks to effectively cover the apartment.

After six months the signal started degrading and now it drops the connection a mere 10 ft away.  Would not recommend this router no anyone....Buy buffalo or Asus...
