Add wireless capability to non-computer wired network devices.
This is the second of these that I have bought. The big advantage of these little devices, is that they add wireless internet capability to non-computer items like satellite receivers, DVD or Blu-ray players, etc.--anything that has a wired network port. Just put it in AP client mode, set it up using the wizard with a laptop or other PC, and then disconnect it from that and connect it up to your device. Fairly easy to do and very reliable connections. The cheaper small devices that look similar to this are unable to do that because their client mode only operate through their USB port instead of operating through their wired network connection. I personally have one of these on my Dish Network satellite receiver and my Blu-ray DVD player giving me wireless streaming/downloading capability on both of these devices.

A Bit Hard To Install
The Sanyo brand of battery for the Oral B Triumph Professional toothbrush was a real challenge to install. The leads were quite thin in comparison to the original battery and because of that bent every time I tried to maneuver the battery into its place. I was really afraid that the leads would break off due to the repetitive bending and unbending. But I finally got it into place and then tried to solder it in. I don't know if it was the alloy of the leads or if there was a coating on them, but it was very difficult to get solder to adhere to the metal. Nevertheless, I finally got everything installed and the battery returned the toothbrush performance back to new or nearly new. I don't know that I would buy this particular battery again. But it is well worth going through all of this in order to salvage a quite good toothbrush.

What to expect for Five Buck Including Shipping
2 of 2 found this helpful I was somewhat disappointed in this soldering iron, but maybe I shouldn't be considering the price I paid. On first use, it smoked--not from the tip but from the neck-- quite a lot. I was wondering if it was defective since it took a while to heat the tip up. But it finally got there and I was able to use it although I can't say that it was pleasant to use in comparison to ones I have used in the past. Also, the cord is the thinnest electrical cord possible (and short in length) and the metal in the plug is barely thick enough to make contact with the electrical socket. I'm thinking my expectations should have been lower, but if I had to do it over I would not buy this soldering iron again.
