Digital camera reviews of Phonex PX-211D Wireless Web Jack System
Digital camera Review: Better than expected
Summary: 4 Stars
This is easy to hook up and works great. I didn't expect much in terms of range but was pleasantly surprised. I get a mostly clear line when I'm close to the receiver but a bit of fuzz when I move further away from the outlet. I bought it to work with my fax machine. This is a perfect solution for that.Digital camera Review: Beware of surge protectors
Summary: 1 Stars
In common with other reviewers, I received the 'Data' version of this product, but as I was planning to use it for a fax, that should probably not have been an issue.
Easy to install, green lights on both units immediately.
The fax test routine (HP 5610 OfficeJet) was initially successful, albeit with a lot of noise on the line. However, subsequently the noise on the line prevented the fax from starting. A total failure. Reading the various indications from the manufacturer, this is almost certainly caused by surge protectors (there are two in reasonably close proximity - same room, different outlets).
Alas I no longer have the packaging, so cannot return Easy Jack.
Good news is that 'MagicJack' seems to work without problems, although not officially supported for fax use. More expensive in the long run, but gives a separate fax number also.magicJack - No More Phone Bills - Free Local & Long Distance Calls!
Digital camera Review: Buyer Beware!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Easy Jack 2 Wireless Jack Base and Extension Unit I was warned by one other reviewer, but he wrote his in 2007. I hoped that Amazon might have cleaned up the description. But no, I ordered and received the DATA ONLY model. Mine is clearly labeled DATA ONLY, but not on the box labeling.
Amazon is good enough to let me return it for a refund. I will need to shop elsewhere to locate one of these for my Voice phone extension needs.
Digital camera Review: Can't really say - item returned.
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't honestly review this item, as I returned it without using it after learning that it wasn't what I should be buying.Digital camera Review: Can't recommend this product
Summary: 1 Stars
The number of positive reviews for this product surprises me.
First, the pictures of the wireless jack: They don't show you that the underside is where you plug it into your wall socket. The problem is that the plug is so huge that it may cover the entire wall socket. If you have two sockets, and depending on how those sockets are arranged, you may lose access to the second one.
So, "I'll connect it to a surge protector or socket multiplier of some kind," you say. The manual tells you not to do that. I don't know why, but a surge protector probably interferes with the AC signal this device sends on your house wiring. Just a guess.
Then, the manual doesn't tell you if Caller ID signals are sent from the phone company jack to the jack you extended with this device. You can find out empirically...but I never got that far. My unit failed after about an hour. I returned it and got a refund...but it was a bad omen. I won't get another one.
