My device has been working flawlessly and I absolutely love it. Setup in both LSP and xLights is vastly simplified once you understand the basics. The USB dongle was good, but setting up multiple dongles was a pain. Sometimes the dongle wouldn't be detected by Windows. I have had none of these issues with the Etherdongle. Read the thread I started on using the Etherdongle with LSP for setup information. Its helpful to understand the number scheme. I think you will find the Etherdongle well worth the wait. Now, I can't wait for the conductor and eliminate the PC and scheduler software.
