PCI Wireless 802.11G card for desktop PCs

Advantages: Cheap-n-cheerful
Disadvantages: Slow connections and poor range with supplied antenna.

My intention, when I bought this card, was to install it in my desktop, PC to allow me to access the internet, the desktop PC’s cheap storage and printing facilities in my home office all from the comfort of my living room. My first hurdle was to get FreeBSD to recognise this card – and a quick web search revealed that I needed only enable the "ath" and "athhal" devices. I expect the card is also recognised under Windows/Linux – but I’ve not had ...
...all I had a working device and was able to establish communication between my XP laptop and BSD desktop. The first disappointment was the speed of the connection – I only achieved around 36Mbps when desktop and laptop were next to each other on my desk. The second disappointment was that as soon as I moved my laptop out of the room it lost the connection entirely. Unimpressed I tried re-arranging the desktop to avoid the desktop PC’s case from interfering ...

Review of D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL G520

XBOX 360 Wireless Adaptor - a must for serious gamers!

Advantages: Online gaming anywhere in the house
Disadvantages: Can lose connectivity without warning and expensive

If, like me, you have an Xbox 360, you will no doubt be aware of the dynamic and enjoyable facility available to you online, namely Xbox live. Xbox live is a place where you can download demos and game add-ons, chat to your friends, and stream movies and videos direct to your Xbox 360 in glorious high definition. But while the Nintendo Wii and the Sony Playstation 3 can go online straight from the box without any additional hardware, Microsoft, in ...
...standard in the Xbox 360. This product is great if you don't want to have cables trailing over the house to play XBOX Live, although the consistency of the connection can be a little patchy at times. The Live kit is simple to install, even for a novice like me, and the instructions are clear and concise. For serious gamers I recommend that you wire the XBOX up to the net the old fashioned way, as it is very frustrating whilst playing Call of Duty ...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter Network adapter

An essential part of Xbox 360 online gaming!

Advantages: User friendly
Disadvantages: Plastic casing

At first I felt put off by the price, but if you have your wireless router and Xbox at opposite ends of the house, you could have an ethernet cable (a wonderful trip hazard and possible damage to the router/Xbox if someone were to trip). The only pain (physical) is trying to get it out of the package without being scrached by the plastic casing. Once pluged into the back, very little had to be done except for setting up the password for the secure ...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter Network adapter

The simplest option

Advantages: Great Value, Small Practical Size, Portable, Large Connection Range
Disadvantages: Loses connection sometimes, Fairly expensive, which isn't contradicting the Great Value advantage

...from the ethernet option, the Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter Network Adapter is the only thing you can use to get superb, and let me emphasize 'SUPERB' service from Microsoft. I made the stupid decision to buy a alternative to the adapter, which just didnt work. So, in my opinion, this is the only piece of equipment that is best for getting Xbox Live, so please don't waste money on something that has a 90% chance of working, because ...
...cable that comes with the Microsoft machine. Hope this review helped anyone stuck with a decision, this is from my own experience, I know own a Microsoft Wireless Adapter, and I've never regretted it, although, as you'd expect from a wireless, connection is somtimes lost. This depends on connectivty and the location off your router compared to your Xbox. Mine are on opposite sides of the house and I lose connection at most once a month or once every ...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter Network adapter

Xbox 360 network adapter, to buy or not?

Advantages: makes connecting to live wireless
Disadvantages: very high price

i bought this for £50 second hand, and i found it very easy to use and it connected to my modem in minutes, but i know not everyone connects it as easy as i did, infact i couldnt connect it to my old router when i first got an xbox 360, so then i went for the ethernet cable method which is ideal if the router is in the same room as the xbox 360 because its much cheaper, gauranteed to work and normally makes connection better, but in my case i had ...
...not ideal! therefore when i bought my xbox 360 back i wanted to get it sorted with the network adapter. THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE ADAPTER: its a easy method of connecting up to xbox live if it will connect to the router its small and as a nice slot at the back of the xbox 360 theres a light which is green if its working and red if its disconnected from the internet. THINGS I DONT LIKE ABOUT THE ADAPTER: it can be extremely difficult to connect to some ...
