Technically Challenged

Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I've had two for over 7 years. Great addition for expanding connection for Dish communications. Other than having to reset on a couple of occasions due to possible power losses, I'm extremely pleased. A little pricey but it beats the alternatives.

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is a worthless product. It didn't work out of the box and Radio Shack would only give me a store credit. I wanted my money back. I feel ripped off by the product and Radio Shack. If I had seen these reviews first, I never would have bought it. [...]

I love this system. Only problem is that I need one more unit for the third phone and it doesn't look as if you make it. I have had no problem with caller ID on the phones - it works fine.

I used this product for a telephone internet connection (dial up) and it worked just fine. Just a little on the pricey side...

Very disappointing - bad product.

 
The reset button never ...
By Sandy P from Kingston, OK on 5/5/2007

The reset button never worked on the unit. Do not buy this product. Radio Shack would not take back product after 90 days with the originial packaging and receipt. I did not need a store credit, but was given one anyway. I just wanted my money back. I bought another wireless system from the satellite store and it has a one year warranty. Radio Shack should warranty this product for at least a year because you have to have a satellite sytem for at least a year when you sign up with Dish or Directv.

By Carroll R from Montclair,VA on 7/6/2006
Pros:
Easy to use

System worked for one month. Then failed. Returned to store for check up, seemed to work OK. Returned home and connected for use with Dish Network. Shows" not connected" again. Performed all setups re the manual a number of times. All I get is static on both remotes. About to give up

By Jorgen N from Minneapolis, MN on 5/28/2006
Pros:
Easy to use, Good performance, Reliable

This is a good product for Dish/Direct TV/Tivo use. Not good for Internet or Vontage use. Price is a bit high compared to others but very very easy to use.

This product is wonderful. Works like a charm.

By Dave H from Placentia, CA on 5/10/2006

So far it been pretty worthless. I bought it to connect to my Dish TV receiver. I ran a long phone line direct from my wall to the Dish unit and it worked fine. When I used the wireless jack, it failed the Dish TV test...so back it goes!

 
This is the third unit ...
By David W from Ca. on 5/2/2006

This is the third unit that appears to have not worked right out of the box. The first one was an RCA which is the same as the Radio Shack model. The second two from Radio Shack didn't work either.

By douglas d from consumer on 4/18/2006
Pros:
Easy to use

Hooked it up last night, so far the line noise is so bad as to be almost useless, we'll see how it shakes out.

 
Easy to install and works ...
By Ray D from Ringoes, NJ on 3/15/2006
Pros:
Easy to use, Reliable

Easy to install and works well in providing a dial tone to another house location without having to run a physical phone wire. What's not documented is that the receiving unit is NOT "Caller ID" capable. This means that if you plan to plug a "Caller ID" capable phone into the receiving unit, it won't work. You'll be able to receve and make calls, but you won't have "Caller ID" on incoming calls. I wouldn't have bought this unit if I knew this.
