Advantages: Can connect computers together in home or office without wires all over the pace Disadvantages: Might interfere with some cordless phones
We recently decide to buy a Belkin ASDL Modem with Wireless G Router because we have two computers at home.
My other half found it easy to install and get working on our main computer which is upstairs. Downstairs is our family computer and we though it would help the family,(kids not allowed in mum and dads bedroom), to access the internet for school work, research and e mail access.
Everything worked fine, even the remote dongle worked really well and gets a really good signal.
The best thing about this wirelessLAN is that you can use the main computer to allow certain settings on the remote computer and turn internet access on or off, transfer files from main computer to remote computer and view what the remote user is accessing so you can net nanny any of your kids while they surf without actually looking over their ...
Having tried to connect my 360 via ethernet to my wireless connection, through my Mac or my Windows laptop, and having no success, this provided the only feasible solution.

Once I had set the profile up and placed the adapter right next to the router I was finally able to switch to a wireless connection and connect to the internet. Moving the router back to it's preferred position (i.e not using extension cable) still worked so all seemed good.
Connection strength is usually about 46% which gives about 12mbps but it is often higher than this and never lower. This is with the router approx 7 metres from the adapter with approx 4 brick walls in between. I no longer have any problems with my internet connection so this is far better than my old extension cable. This is adequate for on-line gaming and allows guild wars to be played with no lag.
