Review on Enhance Your Gaming Experience with Cisco-Linksys WGA600N Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming Adapter by Shawn Parker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's ADMIN in all caps

After I installed the game adapter it worked great. I bought it to connect to a Panasonic DMP-BD80 Blue Ray player. However, as others have pointed out, installation was a real pain. Three steps helped with the installation. First, I connected the computer directly to the Dlink N router using an Ethernet cable. Attempting to install the adapter on a WiFi-connected computer did not work. Second, I also connected the game adapter to the router with an Ethernet cable. Third, for the password, it was ADMIN, as others have pointed out, but with capital letters (at least for my case). 'admin' in lower case didn't work. However, I had to go through each installation step at least twice to get to the next step. I'm using the WPA2 security settings on the router, but that was the least of the problems. The setup is just cumbersome. I ended up setting up the game adapter. After connecting to the DMP-BD80 player, it worked better than expected. My wifi router is on the second floor and my tv and blu ray player are on the first floor. However, reception was excellent and I was able to download HD movies from Revain with no glitches or signal dropouts. It's a wonderful gaming adapter once installed.
