Internet Wireless

Advantages: wireless
Disadvantages: sometimes low speed

...At first I was skeptical, not that I could work ... At home my phone is fixed on the ground floor and the pc the first floor. I have to spend a lot of money to get internet (cable or wireless equipment expensive) when I informed about the possibility of exploiting or not the wireless modem on my phone, I said that enough to buy this stick from 40 ? (30 £). To my pleasure I have verified that it works perfectly, I never drop the phone line, the installation is complicated, sailing and unloading in decent manner. When the PC automatically searches for the signal and if the modem is turned on it connects: done. No matter how many walls, doors closed, phones and TV are among us, I can navigate safely is incredible, really a good buy. The package includes a USB cable for direct it better and sticker to paste your computer no longer move...

Review of Netgear WG111 Wireless-G USB 2.0 Adapter

Wireless internet all around the house

Advantages: High speed and powerful, easy to set up
Disadvantages: My PC didn't want to co-operate

...it up you don't have to do anything else it just works alongside your PC connecting you seamlessly to the internet. It seems much more reliable that my Freeserve modem which I got free when I signed up for Broadband. I had no problem persuading my work laptop to communicate with it which will make life simpler when I am working from home occasionally. Would I recommend it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yes I would - it was easy to set up apart from the slight glitch with my PC. It seems to work well and has a good range so it works everywhere in my house. I would try it out in the pub but sadly we have no pub in my village! If you are thinking of going wireless I think this modem is ideal especially if you have family who might all want to be accessing the internet at the same time....

WIRELESS GAMING - AT A PRICE

Advantages: Wireless connectivity to Xbox live, Simply to setup
Disadvantages: Ridiculously expensive, Doesn't come in black to match my Xbox 360 Elite

...providing you have a laptop with wireless connectivity, but this means having the laptop on and joined to the Xbox 360 with a cable - again not overly practical. On then to what seems like the easiest, tidiest solution to wireless gaming - the Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless networking adapter. This little piece of wizardry wrapped up in white plastic form makes connecting your console to the internet a relatively pain free and tidy solution. Setup Setting up the wireless adapter is simplicity itself; it clips onto the back of your Xbox 360 or Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive and plugs into one of the available USB ports. Then you need to pop to the System Settings section on your Xbox 360 dashboard. There you will see a network Settings tab which will take you to a page where you can configure the adapter to work with your network. This setup process...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter Network adapter

Xbox 360 wireless

Advantages: Easy to use, Reliable
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Xbox live is undoubtedly one of the main draws of the Xbox 360, and due to the fatc my Xbox was too far from a wired internet connection, i had to find a wireless way. The official wireless adapter seemed the best choice, widely availble, and being official, pretty much guaranteed to work. And thats true, it worked, very easily, simply plugging into the back, then scanning for connections on my xbox, then at the push of a button I was connected. It is a very good piece of kit, however it is rather expensive, as its counterparts for laptops and PCs would be available much cheaper. I have had some issues with the internet choosing not to connect, but these are rare, and on occasions the connection can be rather slow. I would stioll recommend this nonetheles, as it is a reliable piece of equipment that allows Xbox 360 users...

Wireless ready!

Advantages: Plug-and-Play
Disadvantages: Pricey!

...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. Unfortunately, unlike the PS3, the Xbox 360 is not wireless-ready out of the box, and in order to make it so, you must invest a further £50+, which is quite a pain in the rear. Unfortunately, it seems that, in making the console itself so cheap and appealing, Microsoft aim (as always) to make their money on the peripherals, which everybody needs for the full gaming experience. Nevertheless, this does exactly what it says on the box (sorry to be cliched). Plug-and-Play, as expected, you connect it to your console and through your dashboard, search for your wireless connection and, with your WEP key or security key at hand, you can instantly connect to your...

Bring Wireless Connectivity to the Xbox 360

Advantages: No need for wires. Reliable
Disadvantages: Over inflated cost.

...Introduction It is hard to believe that in this day and age where wifi internet connections are the norm, that the Xbox 360 console, does not ship with a built in wireless network adapter. The Playstation 3 has this built in and even the Wii manages it too, so why have Microsoft decided to omit it from the Xbox? In my opinion, the answer is simple, it is hard work to bridge a connection from your laptop and the majority of Xbox users will not have their console in close proximity to their router. Therefore, the only other alternative is to spend £60 and buy the Microsoft Wireless network adapter. Microsoft have been cute here, there are plenty of wireless USB wifi internet dongles on the market, all retailing for considerably less than the £60 Microsoft are asking, however, none of these will work with the Xbox, meaning...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter Network adapter

An aid to wireless internet

Advantages: easy to set up
Disadvantages: None so far, couldn't use bundled software

...give 4 bars which means you can access it in a tree outside the house. Sorry if that doesn't make sense, It's just a representation of how powerful the modem is I guess. Where my computer is I thought that I would need fairly good coverage due to doors that may be closed during a Saturday afternoon of listening to Crawley Town through the internet ;) I bought this wireless adapter as a) it wasn't too expensive (£29.99), b)Promised good coverage and c) was about the only one on the shelf at PC world. Upon getting home I opened the box and found very few pieces. On the one side I thought this was good as there aren't lots of things to plug in, but I was not a fan of the fact that the instructions could have been written on a postage stamp, in case things went wrong. In the end the actual adapter was easy to install but connecting...

WIRELESS PS3 SIXAXIS CONTROLLER

Advantages: WIRELESS; SIMPLE TO USE
Disadvantages: GAME DEVELOPERS NOT MAKING MOST OF SIXAXIS

...I bought a Playstation 3 around 4 months ago and, so far I can't fault the SIXAXIS controller for what I use it for. They've bascally kept the original Playstation 2 controller but made it wireless and added the SIXAXIS system to it. This is a motion sensor that is built in to the controller which senses which way you are leaning the controller and moves as you do but to be honest I found this pretty pointless due to not needing it at all, it just makes the game so much harder. I've tried using it with a few games and with some it's better than others but I still stick to the original normal controls as I find them a lot easier to use. So quite frankly my opinion is, I'm glad they've kept the controller the same as from the PS2 but thought that the addition of the SIXAXIS system was a bit of a waste of time unless the game...

Review of Sony Official PS3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller

Xbox 360 wireless adapter

Advantages: Does exactly what is required of it
Disadvantages: too expensive

...The xbox 360 wireless adapter is essentially, exactly what it says on the tine, it is only required as a neccesity to get onto xbox live in a place usin a wireless network, microsfot have seized on this opportunity to charge over the odds for a small piece of plastic , retailing in the region of £60 , especially when you consider the nintendo Wii has a wireless adapter built in. As a product, the adapter is easy to install, clipping onto the back of the console, reliable and discreet, offering flawless online gameplay as if it were connected via ethernet cable. The only downside to this is the price and i for one feel it should be included in the console package to fully compete with other consoles...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter Network adapter

xbox 360 wireless adapter

Advantages: Works quite well most the time
Disadvantages: very expensive

...i got one of these because i didn't want wires everywhere in our house. when i first put it in it wouldn'tt connect up to my wireless router(linksys). i called up a help line and they said that they had no idea how to fix it so i ended up having to buy a new one (netgear). with this it works well most of them time but if it doesn't always work. i think that may be down to the router but it may be the adapter. anyway it works most the time pretty well. i think it is ridiculously over priced thought. When i got it it was £60. but i needed it because i didn't want a load of wires around the house. i thnk they are fairly good and work most of the time but are over priced....
