It’s marked down now at Staples for $10! Permanently marked down. It seems they told their employees that it ONLY works with Valet routers! Well, duh. Not all wifi hotspots, cafe’s, etc have Valet routers! I bought 2 at the price. Works fantastic with my non-cisco, non-valet router!
doe it worrk for 2 wire?
How about setup
how much was it
ok so u dont need the Valet router to use this dam sum one wanted to sell me one for 10bucks i should of gotten it
i got a D-link usb wireless network
step 1. plug in usb device in a usb inputt
step 2. wait for the drivers to install
step 3. ready to use
i didn’t buy one of this bc it looks like a dildo, i don’t want my girlfriend playin it while im gaming. .
D-link has the Nano adapters with only about 1/5 of the protrusion.
Anything from Cisco is going to be good
And this is a little cap to avoid it from damage
OOPS i dropped it without the cap
@ColedaekfmsdGvbsr why
I miss your USB shaver review/
Linus uses it as a dildo.
@friedrichfw nooooooooooo
thermaltake Level 10 GT unboxing and review!!!!!!!!!!
what happened to the gainward phatomn unboxing??
ROFL DROP
@xninjax420 Like I said you pay extra to get the essentially One Click connection to Valet routers.for some people the cost is justified by the ease of use. also since Cisco is a top name brand you can expect to pay more but you can also expect they will be great quality as well.
just cuz its cheap doesn’t mean it works as good. I have used an airlink adapter in the past and it had issues with it’s connectivity. I would get lost packets if I was more than 30 feet away.
@CRuleProductions Same here :/
This video has reappeared in my sub box twice, now. -_-
way to waste canadian megabytes linus
Plase unbox the 3 gig GTX 580 and benchmark it with the regular one PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE SO HE SEES
Hi Josh,
Is it possible to setup netflow on a Cisco 857? I get the following issue. Can you please help?
Router(config)#ip flow-export source fastethernet0
Router(config)#ip flow-export version 5
Router(config)#ip flow-export destination 192.168.107.250 2055
Router(config)#int fastethernet0
Router(config-if)#ip flow egress

@Cheeseforsure You need to install SolarWinds Netflow Module 3.7 latest in order to monitor . Also you need to Upgrade NPM V10 in order to install NTA 3.7 . However you can request NTA 3.5 (Older Version) to SolarWinds which still supported with NPM V9 in order to Monitor Netflow traffic .
Awesome, cheers Josh
You rock!

Good Stuff – can i send netflow traffic to my solarwind v9 ?
Cool video, I really like the Solarwinds Toolset, I use it mostly for Discovery tools and PING tools. Oh yeah I use the Monitoring and Perf Mgmt tools too. In the beginning it was just about the easy TFTP server software. This was the hook that if without it, I probably would never have kept this little tool around long enough to learn about all the other cool tools. Thanks SW!
Good stuff – can I just suggest getting some of your videos up in HD and/or on Vimeo.
I think it would be worth taking the time because of the improved quality.
Cheers,
