Wasp WWS800K FREEDOM WIRELESS SCANNER KIT

Advantages: All in one solution
Disadvantages: Known fault prevents use with my ISP

...I purchased this router for additional security and to allow wireless access for a laptop in the house. I was attracted by it being ADSL 2 so reasonably future proof and the promise of fast, strong signal wireless access. Sadly I never got that far. It recognised the ADSL line fine, my two wired PCs RJ45 connectors lit up happily, but it just would not detect or accept any settings I put in despite me knowing them to be correct. I use Freedom2Surf as my ISP and after a frustrating day of watching its automatic installation fail and my own attempts at setting it up manually I gave in and sent it back. I later found out that this particular piece of kit with f2s will set the host IP address 1 digit up from what it actually is and there is no way to override this. I replaced it with a Billion 7402VGP wireless router as per my ISP... Read review

Advantages: Only marginally more expensive than a wired control
Disadvantages: Batteries last roughly a week or two. May need to invest in a play and charge kit.

...This product is possibly the only reliable thing to come from the Xbox 360. If your anything like me, you dont trust wireless connections in the slightest (anyone with a wireless router and a mobile phone should know what I mean) but this little beauty is truely an amazing piece of kit. Not only have I never had a problem with the signal on this device, the responsiveness is second to none.

Perhaps one of the greatest advantages to this wireless controller is the freedom you, the gamer, is allowed to take advantage of for the first time ever. You can leap out of your seat with frustration as your headshot from 10miles away on xbox live, or carry on button bashing while you... Read review

Advantages: Picks up any wireless Internet connection, works well with PS2, LAN play as well
Disadvantages: None

..., the adapter will be able to pick up the wireless connection and uses it to connect you, the gamer, to the world of online gaming on your console and the best thing about it is, there is no cables running to the point of where your console is placed. OR 2. If you have a pair of the game adapters, then you can setup LAN play by allowing these adapters to form a "cable-less cable" between two consoles for brilliant head-to-head gaming either in the same room or across a building, possibly in different rooms. Genius! Another great thing about this piece of kit is that it is driver-free. this means that it does not need any software to make it work on the console. If you tend to set a profile channel up, there is a CD with a setup program so you can configure the profile you want to use for gaming without installing any software. Insert the CD... Read review
