Customer Review: A great option for the XBOX 360
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two of these and had been using them with my regular XBOX and they worked great. I then got a 360 and decided to give it a try, and am I glad that I did. It works just as it should no lag at all and I didnt have to buy a 100 dollar USB one for my 360! The internet is not like a truck, you just cant dump things on it. It's, It's... a series of tubes!Customer Review: Works Great with my Xbox 360
Summary: 5 Stars
Much cheaper alternative to Microsoft's $100 wireless adapter. Came with easy set-up instructions, got my 360 online in minutes.Customer Review: Not an "out of the box" solution!
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a System Engineer. I like to think I know my way around computers, networks, and electronics, in general. I generally have a great deal of patience in configuring devices to operate on my network.
That being said, I cannot give this device a good rating. The documentation is poor and a networking novice might be in for a frustrating evening of trial and error. The claim that this is an "out of the box" solution for PS2 simply is not true.
The range is absolutely abysmal; so much so that it is worth one's time to rearrange that gaming area and string a cable rather than attempting a connection to a first-floor access point from the second story of an average house.
I do not have two of these devices in order to test head-to-head gaming as the documentation suggests.
I can't speak to using this device with the Xbox or other systems, but I suspect performance would be similar.
As a side note, this device performed similarly poorly when used to attach a laptop to the wireless network.
If one wants a true out-of-the-box solution for home networking without running cables, I recommend the Actiontec MegaPlug 85 Mbps Ethernet Adapter or equivalent device. Get two, plug them into wall plugs near the broadband router and PS2, respectively, and get your game on.
Customer Review: WORKS with 360. connection is SUB-par
Summary: 3 Stars
This item does work with XBOX 360. The connection however is not very good. I have my system on a different floor of my house. I find myself in a match of Gears of War and everyone stands still, then my connection is gone. This happens repeatedly throughtout the day. Sometimes I cannot even reach the dashboard to DOWNLOAD demos; or even check mail because it is loading or something. I think I would go with the More-expensive Microsoft Equipment.
Nice product though.
Customer Review: Easy installation
Summary: 4 Stars
Setup took about an hour. The paper affordabletech sent about the disk drivers not working correct was very helpful. This is the first time I have attempted a wireless setup.
