BELKIN Play Max wireless router

One of the best routers available today with just one flaw. The name ‘Play Max’ raised our expectation before we actually tested this IEEE 802.11n based router and when we did it we were not at all disappointed, in fact disappointment came from other features.  Once out of box what you have in hand is a compact clean looking router with hidden antennas and single indicator light and WPS button in front for hassle free secure connection setup.

Walkie Talkies FAQ

Q: Which radio band is right for me? A: FRS Walkie Talkies are ideal for folks who generally wish to use these for outdoor purposes such as when hunting, fishing or camping. They are free of interference from business and government agencies and don't require you to have a license. GMRS have a much broader range for talk, extending up to five miles. These aren't intended for hobby use, rather they're meant for purposeful communications such as business or commercial activity. You must obtain a license from the FCC in order to operate in this band. .adheadline {font: bold 10pt arial; text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;} .adtext {font: normal 10pt arial; text-decoration: none; color: #000000;}try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var...

Walkie Talkie Distances

Size doesn't matter, right? Well, perhaps. But when comparing distance capabilities in walkie-talkies it sure does! There's the more common 2-mile and 5-mile units. And then theres the less common like the 7-mile, 8-mile or even 10-mile units. Your range of service needed really just depends on what your use will be. Hikers, for example, might prefer a greater range of distance.   The important thing to keep in mind when considering distance is that buildings, hills and other tall, solid structures can very easily get in the way of your transmitted signal. Distance is especially an issue with hunters, hikers and campers. FRS radios...

CRIME WATCH

(1) Today I passed by a building which has an ATM machine. There was an old man looking at me. Suddenly, he called me. He said he did not know how to read, so he gave me his ATM card and asked me to help him withdraw money from the ATM machine. I answered ‘NO! If you need help, ask the security to help you.’ Then he said ‘never mind…’ and continued to find other people to help him… REMEMBER: ATM machines have CCTVs. If you help him he will later claim that you have robbed him or stolen his ATM card. Besides, his ATM card could be a stolen one. So please be careful of these tactics.
