Not sure what all configuration secrets are.

Okay, that's not quite right. The secret lies in the declining quality of Linksys software and documentation. But one after anonther. This device worked great right out of the box and currently streams Netflix to a Blu-Ray DVD player at speeds fast enough to watch their HD titles. With a laptop, it only took twenty minutes to set up, test (via speedtest.net) and connect the device. said Nuff. Thanks to Cisco/Linksys for *finally* developing a workable sized power supply!

Not for network newbies, works with Sony BDP-S350 Blu-Ray

The bottom line is that I was able to set up the device to work with my Sony BDP-S350 Blu-Ray Disc player, but only after that reconfiguring my network to work with WEP encryption. I don't recommend this device for those unfamiliar with network configuration, unless your wireless network is secure (in which case, you should first visit all your neighbors and find out which ones are hanging outside your network, and force them to at least to buy you a beer or share popcorn). There are manyโ€ฆ

Works great with Xbox 360!

I saw a mix of positive and negative reviews on this product and hesitated. The purpose of purchasing this Linksys WGA54G Wireless-G Game Adapter was so that I could connect to Xbox Live from my Xbox 360. Luckily, there have already been positive reviews from people who bought this product for the same reason. All I did was plug it into an outlet and plug the included ethernet cable into my Xbox 360. Of course, to set up Xbox Live, all I had to do was turn on my Xbox and find my router (I use a

Works well but is customizable.

I've had this device on my Xbox for a few months now and I can tell you that once it's set up properly it works flawlessly with no lag. I have a Linksys Wireless-G router and they work well together. Now for the cons. Maybe a network expert can handle this, but I can't. I'm pretty good with computers and can set up a wireless network. Running this on my Xbox was an absolute nightmare. I don't even remember everything that was done, so I can't share anything useful. Tech support goes to Indiaโ€ฆ

Reliable box - only 802.11G is missing

Although this box can be used with almost any games console I didn't need it for mine as it has built in wifi I bought it specifically to work with one Video conferencing camera that didn't have built-in WiFi and I didn't want to run cables from the main router up the walls or across the floor to another room. While the installation wasn't overly easy, it's certainly easy enough for the average computer user or anyone who has installed a networking device before. The key to setup is to connectโ€ฆ

Linksys WGA54G Wireless-G Game Adapter

I bought this Linksys WGA54G Wireless-G Game Adapter to connect to XBOX Live on my XBOX 360 Game Console Adapter with 360 like a PS3 had I had no desire to pay Mr. Gates another $99.99 for his XBOX 360 wireless network adapter. With the Linksys adapter, all I had to do was plug it into my 360 and the console had no trouble connecting to my gateway wireless router. I downloaded updates and joined XBOX Live in minutes. I didn't even have to program anything with my computer. The great thing isโ€ฆ
