Useless
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was told I would need this to help my computers to talk to each other. I have had it for a month and haven't figured out how to use it. The geek squad was useless. So I don't know if this product works. Its just sitting in a drawer gathering dust for now.
