124 of 137 people found the following review helpful By Bryan (USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Cisco-Linksys WGA11B Wireless-B Game Adapter (Personal Computers) Okay, first of all I'm hot on linksys (see my other reviews). I used to do network stuff for a living - don't anymore, but I have always been impressed with Linksys (compared to Netgear, DLink and Microsoft) for the consumer market. Their stuff is by and large (prosumer) - it has some good pro features without having to be a rocket scientist to configure the thing. Now that Cisco owns them - it's even a better deal as Cisco has been putting some nice features into all of linksys's products. While the tech support guys at linksys all need an attitude adjustment (they are a surley bunch) - the products often don't require tech support... so I suppose it is a good-news, bad-news, kind of thing...But this sucker was PLUG AND PLAY for all intensive purposes. There are a few things, however, I think people should know in order to set this up: a) You probably want to turn off all WEP and MAC filters. You can turn them back on once you get the sucker id'ed on the network and talking...

There's no lag when playing on-line XBox-Live games. It's less than half the cost of the Microsoft "official" Xbox gaming adapter.Incidentally, these gaming adapters and generic "wireless adapters" are exactly the same thing. They bridge a wired device into your wireless network. This is only an 802.11b, not g, device, but that is NOT a negative. Don't spend the extra money on "g" ANYTHING. b gives you 11 Mbit/sec, and if you're really lucky these days, your DSL or cable modem internet connection will get you 2 Mbit/sec. So why pay extra money for g? Even if you are far from your wireless access point, and the speed drops to only 2 Mbit/sec, you'll never use that through the internet. Your Xbox will never come anywhere near saturating an 802.11b link. I've sniffed the packet traffic, and it doesn't even break 120Kbps at its worst. But here are some tips for configuring this device. 1. If...

But I had it configured and playing online with my X-box in under 5 mins. I use WEP in 128 bit, and also use MAC filtering on my access point. I simplyed hooked the unit up to my laptop and configured the WEP setting with the easy to understand config wizard. Unit supports three different profiles so you can setup the config for different networks, and simply chose which profile you want to use with a push of a button. Great feature if you move your unit in bewteen secure wireless networks.Most people could have this ready to go in about a minute, since they don't use WEP or Mac filtering. Already have plans to get one to go with the Replay TV Box. No more cable clutter around my home. Also easy to connect multiple game consoles togther without the need of an access point. Simply chose the saem channel on each unit, and they each game console will see each other. Some concerns over wired connections, since ethernet can... Read more |
