Customer Review: Didn't deliver the goods
Summary: 2 Stars
I had such high hopes for the NYKO net extender. Here's the situation I have a computer downstairs and a Playstation 2 upstairs, I just recently purchased the network adapter for the playstation 2 which allows you to play games online with the PS2... now here's the problem drilling holes and running patch cable all thru the house wasn't a option for me. I saw the NYKO net extender advertised so I figured this was the answer to my problem. I ran out and bought it when it came out. Now I must say it was a snap to install 2 little black boxes (one the sender **which plugs in the cable modem** the other the receiver ** which in my case went to the PS2 ) and SHAZAMM it works no setup disks or hassles BUT all is not perfect with this product. Right after I got everything hooked up and fired up SOCOM II on the PS2 I noticed for no reason at all the unit would stop receiving data right in the middle of playing games online you literally have to unplug the receiver unit and plug it back in within 10 seconds to maintain a connection this wouldn't happen just every once in a while (I could deal with that) sometimes it would do this 3 and 4 times a hour very frustrating to say the least. I figured it was the placement of the units so I moved them as close as I could that didn't help I spoke to the clerk from the store from which I purchased it from he said it could be interference with other appliances in the house (I.E. cordless phone,micowave etc) so picture this I unplugged every appliance in the house * I mean every one imagine me sitting the with just a TV and my PS2 on but to no avail the same thing happened. I even took it back and got another one from the store same problem. I even got a hold of someone at NYKO tech support VIA e-mail and he told me something about the bandwidth may be dropping to low to hold a connection I have a Cable modem so that isn't the problem. Anyway to wrap this up the Net extender looked like a good product on paper but for me it failed to deliver its promise ... I eventually went with a LINKSYS wireless router and the WET 11 Ethernet bridge and it works like a dream.Customer Review: bad job staying connected
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this product 9 months ago and used it to go online with my ps2. It connected but it kept on losing the connection everytime i play games like socom 2,socom 3, killzone, and other ps2 online games. I bought the logitech network extender and used that to get online. This product was similar to the nyko product. It worked well and it was free from losing connections. If your planing on playing online with easy hook ups then I would recommend the logitech network extender intstead of this product.Customer Review: Do i need a ps2 network adaptor to hook this up????

Summary: 1 Stars
My Nyko Net Extender died once a month. After replacing it twice, I am now in the market for another method of gaming online. I called Nyko's tech support and was told that they were continually upgrading the software because it was having compatibility problems with the PS2. I don't know how this works on the X-Box, but if you've got a PS2, look somewhere else for your networking solution.
