D-Link Systems, Inc. Wireless Range Extender (DAP-1320)


 
Tiny Little Thing That Works Great!

Wow, plug and play that works!  If you follow my reviews you are aware of how annoyed I get with technical products that claim to be consumer products.   A consumer product should be able to be installed by a non-technical person with minimal manual reading.  Sadly many of the supposedly consumer products need a technician to install them.  I loved that when I was in business and had techs to send out and generate income.   Now as a consumer I find it annoying, particularly since I am somewhat technical and can spend entirely too much time testing something that is supposed to install easily. 

The D-Link range extender is a true consumer product.  I took it out of the box, read the large, quick install instructions.  I disconnected my existing range extender that took way too much time to install and plugged in the D-Link.   I then hit the WPS button on my router, went back down and hit the WPS button on the D-Link, waited two minutes and Viola!, I had a strong network signal.   I input the D-Link password on my phone and was on the internet that quickly.  

Kudos to D-Link for an excellent and a truly plug and play device!

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You ...

Arlo Security System by NETGEAR – 6 Wire–Free HD Cameras, Indoor/Outdoor, Night Vision (VMS3630B)

This is an interesting system.  The absolutely wire free aspect is great, particularly if you have a wife is diametrically opposed to visible cables.   The visual aspect of the cameras is great even at night.  The installation or setup was a breeze.   The cameras synced quickly with no issues.   The required an immediate upgrade via download and four of the six cameras did that flawlessly.   The other two took multiple restarts to get the update successfully accepted.   The phone software works well and I was easily able to see the cameras remotely.   So my initial impression is very positive. I did receive this system in exchange for an honest review.   The documentation for this system is abysmal.   There is no identification on the cameras to determine which of Arlo’s cameras they may be.  This makes it difficult to determine what is expected of the camera.   ...
