I may try it in the future when they have updated the firmware. --------------------------- UPDATE: I received this from IOGEAR technical support: "I just spoke with the product manager and he told me that he already has an updated firmware that will fix the password issue. He plans to test the firmware today and if his testing goes well we should have the update available next week. I still do not want to guarantee anything because I do not how the testing will go." If they do correct the problem within my return window, I will keep the device and probably change to 5 star. I'll change to 3 star for now as 1 star is too harsh if they are actually correcting the problem. --------------------------- This device sets up pretty quickly and easily. I'd like to keep it and maybe buy a 2nd, but it has a fatal security flaw. If you use manual setup, the WPA2 pre-shared...

This fine piece of hardware by IOGEAR works flawlessly with the XBOX 360. I even plugged it in to my home computer and accessed my email with it! One word of warning though. I had my router custom set with DD-WRT firmware and it caused a conflict. I spent several hours trying to solve the problem and I finally fixed it and thought I would share my answer to anyone experiencing similar frustration. I use WPA2 and I had my router set to WPA2-PSK only, which is the root of the problem. If you cant connect with the IOGEAR with WPA2, go to your Wireless tab, then Security and where it has the menu for the encryption type, change it from "WPA2-PSK only" to "WPA2-PSK mixed". It may also help to adjust your router if its set to AES, try TKIP, or vice-versa. If I had not stumbled across the solution, I would have...

But I found this IOGear adapter for $20 less so I gave it a try. The unit is compact measuring 2" x 3".Turned out to be surprisingly easy to install -- took me under 3 mins. I did not use the CD for the browser-based install. I went the easy way and it worked the first try -- after connecting the adapter to my Panasonic blu-ray player, I pressed the WPS buttons on the adapter and on my router (I use WPA2-AES). The two automatically sync up and I got netflix thru my blu-ray player. The adapter... Read more |
