It's Electrical Tape!

I bought 5 ECB6200 adapter as I don't have any RJ45 network in my home and the electrical network is very bad to use CPL, but I have a coaxial network in all my rooms for TVs. I have now all my rooms connected to the main router with a bandwidth of about 700Mbps which is very good and reliable compared to my old solution with wifi repeaters that I needed to reboot every nights as the connection was lost or DHCP not propagated and so on... Now everything is working fine, at a good speed and with very low latency.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Set Up: I consider myself a beginner to DIY projects. Setting up this ceiling tv mount was beyond my skills so I had to hire a handyperson to help install this mount. You will need an electrical outlet near to power your TV so be aware of this when you decide to purchase this mount. We had our home built and anticipated mounted TVs in our rooms. In addition to the electrical component, this swings the TV down at the length of the TV so if you have high ceilings and depending on screen size, it might be too high for your line of sight. Location: I had this TV mount set up in my home office. I work from home and like to be able to have TV on in the background. I also have a small chair in my office so other people can sit and enjoy the office space as well. My desk/computer monitors reach at eye level so I couldn’t put a TV on a stand elsewhere. I chose a smaller size TV about 32 inches but this mount has the capacity to hold a 70" TV at max weight of 77lbs. Once installed, you can use a remote or a app to control it. It was easy to find the perfect viewing position and once I was done, I can tuck it away making it perfect for my minimalist home style. The mount is not super noisy, all in all, it’s a good mount.

I'm an electrical engineer and work from home and this fit my need s perfectly. I have two networks, one secure network for business and the other for home. This NAS has 4 NICs (2x 10Gbe) and (2x2.5Gbe) which would allow me to manage the NAS for 4 independent networks. I configured it with (5) 4 TB drives configured for RAID 5 and I opted to install two 512 GB Samsung 970 Pro NVMe M.2 512 GB SSDs configured to operate as a cache for the RAID system.

I'll preface this with I'm very comfortable with home electrical work, if you're not this might be a little more complicated for someone who is not comfortable with electrical wiring at home. Great product, looks clean, fits in with my existing decora style switches. I did have to chisel away a little dry wall behind the face plate of my switches to get everything to sit flush with the wall, but otherwise quick install, no issues. I like the app, it's clean and works well. Integration with Alexa was quick and easy. Overall love it, looking forward to installing some of the dimable modules.

I operate a home-based PC repair business and have occasion to setup networks for customers in my community. This is a great basic router for many of my senior clients who only have one computer and just need an inexpensive router for wireless access. I also have set it up as a wired hotspot (disabling the DHCP) for customers who have large homes or a shop attached to their house where the primary router doesn't get good wireless coverage in a given area. It doesn't give blazing fast wireless speed, but they do hold up to electrical storms pretty well (we are in the country and power flickers are common with our electrical service). For the price, I think their great.

The Delta 2 Max is all you need for all those road trips or at home for any electrical emergency. I am really impressed with this product especially how easy it is to set up, how convenient it is to check the battery status and output through the ecoflow app, and how it can power pretty much anything I plugged into it may it be my portable fridge, full size fridge, fans, iPhone, MacBook, etc. I also like that it goes from 0% to fully charged quicker than most portable generators of this size

But still a 5-star product and experience. So the bad: no installation instructions are included, likely to reduce hazards/risks with your home electrical system. An important part of this to note is it REQUIRES a neutral wire. If your home had older electrical wires to the switch box, there may be a chance that the neutral wire (most likely a white wire) is not available, and this switch WILL NOT work without it. However, install is very straight forward if you understand how to safely install into your home electrical system. The switch is not as bulky as some, so there was more than enough room to place it on a 3 switch box/face plate with room to adjust. This is not our first TP-Link smart product, but know that their Kasa Smart App is REQUIRED at least for initial setup. The app is extremely quick with setting up new devices, and this switch is no exception. Our Alexa also instantly identified the new device from the Kasa App and is very quick at turning on/off with voice commands. From unboxing to working with Alexa, it took about 30 minutes to get both switches running. Again, despite the lack of instructions (and the requirement for a neutral wire that your standard switches don’t need/use), amazingly simple quick and efficient product!
