The WAP is dead, long live the WAP

Advantages: Fast, easy to configure, reasonable price for a Wireless Access Point
Disadvantages: slight snag in set up. Easily resolved

My dearly beloved Linksys WAP11b passed on this week. At the request of the family there were no flowers but a small celebration was held to remember a long and hard working life and the opportunity to get a new one. Including VAT and delivery, for £48.15 , Novatech.co.uk sent me one of these little charmers. Let me explain my home setup: The ADSL line starts at my phone line and passes through a Linksys ADSL ethernet ...
...the FAQ section of the Linksys website (Now you see why I like to have all the units separate) and I found the cause. They mention that some cordless phones use the same 2.4 Ghz radio frequency as the WAP and to try changing the channel. They also mentioned that the default was 6, so back into the setup utility and change it from 11 to 6, where it should have been in the first place. as soon as I did this and closed the setup program, my wireless ...

Review of Linksys Wireless-G Access Point WAP54G

HP Network adapter

Advantages: Easy + Quality
Disadvantages: Install

...fact that it was a HP which to me says quality and you ahve the peace of mind knowing that it is a good product. The adapter is quite tricky to install although you should really get people to have a look first and get them to install it a prefer to have a fiddle myself first inwhich although at first i found it quite hard to find where to put it, once found it was easy to plug in. Would recommend great value for money it. Its also easy once you ...

Review of HP FireWire adapter

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 ...
