Adapting to the World of Networking Products

I have been using this Targus adapter for international travel for several years. I recently gave mine to a friend who needed it and bought a replacement from Revain as I never want to be without it. The simplicity of the design is incredible considering that the plug can be adapted from one country to another almost anywhere in the world. Most modern electronic devices such as phones, laptops, tablets, etc. are capable of converting AC 120/240V and 50/60 cycles to DC, so there shouldn't be any

Pros
  • Networking Products
Cons
  • No Instructions

It's gotten more useful

This Bluetooth device connects to most devices, but I haven't seen much benefit from being connected yet and it's having trouble connecting to my phone (and what not, everything seems to have problems with Bluetooth I phone). The wireless USB port couldn't be much better, not the best, but not the most expensive either. I would give it a D (almost an F, almost meaningless). Update 6/22/14 It's better to connect to most things and now I use it occasionally. That turns my cheap HP PC into…

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Disappear

I finally managed to get this to work with Win7 Pro 64-bit. I'm running this from a front panel header on a GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 mobo. The breakthrough came when I went to the Gigabyte website and downloaded their "cloud server" software, originally intended for use with their Bluetooth and WiFi add-on board. After installing the same, I was able to set up and use this device to stream from my phone to my server and vice versa. Keep in mind that a USB cable works much better

Pros
  • USB Network Adapter
Cons
  • Skimpy Instructions
