3Coms

Advantages: Reliable
Disadvantages: Nothing special

3Com Card This card is a nice card but when it come to networking cads there is only two things that make a difference one being the speed, you only tend to find three types of network card all at various speeds ranging form 10 mbps then you get a 10/100 mbps and just recently you can now get hold of a 10/100/1000mbps cars that can use any of these three standards. The card in question will only run at either ten mega bits per second or one hundred ...

Advantages: You can access the internet from anywhere in the house (or garden)
Disadvantages: Hard to set up.

...order from ebuyer for a 3COM Office Connect ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall Router, with a 3COM Office Connect Wireless 11g PC Card. The cards on their own cost around £34 if you search the net. If ever they add the correct product to the category, I will write one on the Router itself, but for now, I get to tell you about my experience with the card. This review assumes that you already have a router installed. ***Appearance*** It looks like any ...

Review of 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g PC Card

One pf the cheapest one's around

Advantages: Handy, Cheap, fast
Disadvantages: Protudes out, Get's hot

I had get one of the wireless adapters for my laptop. I could either go for the pcmia slot, or the usb slot. I opted for the usb version because i could then use it other desktop computers as well. I bought this one for 15 quid and didn't research how good it is before. I had to install the driver and software and then plug it in... and that's it. the internet was working. I tried it with a zoom router and with a belkin router. I use it on the first ...
.... The signal strenght is 60(the software shows all the details of the link quality) but sometimes it flactuates with no obvious reasons. Sometimes the connection drops; when the signal strenght goes down to 40. After a long use, the adaptor gets hot, and cannot say whether it is common or not. The fact that it bulges out from the outside is quite irritating. I have to be carefull when using the laptop on the bed. Overall, it is a very good cheap ...

Review of 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Compact USB Adapter

XBOX 360 Wireless Adaptor - a must for serious gamers!

Advantages: Online gaming anywhere in the house
Disadvantages: Can lose connectivity without warning and expensive

If, like me, you have an Xbox 360, you will no doubt be aware of the dynamic and enjoyable facility available to you online, namely Xbox live. Xbox live is a place where you can download demos and game add-ons, chat to your friends, and stream movies and videos direct to your Xbox 360 in glorious high definition. But while the Nintendo Wii and the Sony Playstation 3 can go online straight from the box without any additional hardware, Microsoft, in ...
...standard in the Xbox 360. This product is great if you don't want to have cables trailing over the house to play XBOX Live, although the consistency of the connection can be a little patchy at times. The Live kit is simple to install, even for a novice like me, and the instructions are clear and concise. For serious gamers I recommend that you wire the XBOX up to the net the old fashioned way, as it is very frustrating whilst playing Call of Duty ...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter Network adapter

An essential part of Xbox 360 online gaming!

Advantages: User friendly
Disadvantages: Plastic casing

At first I felt put off by the price, but if you have your wireless router and Xbox at opposite ends of the house, you could have an ethernet cable (a wonderful trip hazard and possible damage to the router/Xbox if someone were to trip). The only pain (physical) is trying to get it out of the package without being scrached by the plastic casing. Once pluged into the back, very little had to be done except for setting up the password for the secure ...
