Review on LG AN WF100 Wi Fi USB Adaptor by Alvin Siah ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A practical product, nothing to complain about.

I bought this adapter in order to use smart and watch movies from a computer via dlna for LG 42LM TV. Neither one nor the other could be carried out, since the speed was simply no, constant breaks, brakes. A couple of times in 2 years I connected the adapter only for TV ates. I watched movies mainly from flash drives and external hard drives, and with frequent poking I broke one of the usb ports on the TV. After that, I thought about how to save the 2 remaining ones, for this I connected a usb hub / hub to the TV, but not a simple one, but an active one with a power supply, I specifically have this GINZZU GR-487UAB model, but I think any other will do, but the MOST IMPORTANT thing is that the hub be active with recharge with a power supply included. So I connected it, I stopped using the TV ports, and at the same time I remembered the LG-wi-fi adapter, since the hub already has 7 ports, I thought - let it be connected, it doesn’t interfere anyway. And what was my surprise that when connected through an active hub, the LG adapter simply started to FLY - DLNA, Internet, smart - not a single failure, the speed is like a wire, everything is clear and fast, and even when watching "heavy" films in 1080hd with computer by dlna. In short, the conclusion is this: if you want to overclock this adapter, then connect an active (with a power supply) usb hub to the TV, and this adapter will already work to it as it should. PS: by the way, through an active hub, both screws and flash drives also work faster without failures, apparently the ports of most TVs simply do not provide the necessary recharge, hence the low speed. In general, the adapter is quite normal in itself, the problem is only in its power supply, which is solved for a small price, the hub cost me about 600, at the same time you will save the TV ports.

Pros
  • Easy to set up, size.
Cons
  • No speed, but with one BUT, it turns out that this problem is quite easy to fix, and I discovered it by accident - read the comment.

Different pros: Self-configured when connected, high speed. Everything is great. Has cons: There is no WPS button, so you have to manually connect to the network.

The whistle is no longer a novelty, it is sold online. The normal price is 1290. It can be used not only with LG.

Actually, for my new LG smart TVs, there is not much choice, either to take it or non-original ones for the same money .
