Linksys WGA54G Wireless-G Gaming Adapter

If you want to play peer-to-peer between your X-BOXs. Just switch your button to AD-HOC mode. And then everything is ok.

Even you can use WGA54G like ethernet bridge. It's more cheap instead of WET54G. For your information.


So, where's the problem? This is a great product!   January 5, 2005

After reading all the horror stories about this product left by other reviewers, I was hesitant to purchase it, even though it seemed on face to be the simplest way to get my ReplayTV on to my existing home network.

After taking a leap of faith based on past experience with Linksys products, I'm glad I did. Setup could not have been simpler. Using my laptop to configure it, I had the adapter running and connected to my Replay in less than 10 minutes. Though my updates run a tiny bit slower than they did when my Replay was hard-wired, they're still plenty fast, and of course (to my wife's relief), I was able to get rid of the cable running across my living room. I tested it this morning on my PS2, and results were great there, too.

And, as was the case when I set up my network last summer, calls to Linksys were handled quickly and professionally, without any rushing despite my picking the brains of the folks with whom I spoke. Do be aware that Linksys has shipped support overseas. Communication was strained at times, but much less so than what I've experienced with Dell's overseas support agents.

And if you call sales or customer service, you can ask for escalation on specific issues, at which point you'll receive a call from a domestic agent (as I did, and that agent was INCREDIBLY helpful, helping me troubleshoot numerous issues and plan the next phases of my network, even though that wasn't what I originally called about).

So, great product, reasonable price, easy setup (assuming you've got your network properly configured in the first place), top-notch support...what's not to like? For less than a hundred bucks, I absolutely love this device--just like all my other Linksys components.


It Would Seem That People Here Have Bad Hardware...   December 13, 2004

When I bought this for my Xbox Live setup, it worked fine. I followed the setup on the PC (you have to configure it on your PC before connecting to console) and started to play. At first, the signal strength was very weak, and would drop out every five minutes. Then, I moved the console closer to the router and elevated it. It worked great!

My only complaint is that the range for this adapter is kind of short. Other than that, it works great. It will work for any of the three major consoles.

Yes, GameCube does have online games.



Fast, easy to setup, and not just for games   January 22, 2008

Anyone with basic home networking experience can set this up and be running in under five minutes. Just throw away the setup disk, and use the web interface through the Ethernet port.

I am using it on my Tivo right now, so it's not just for games as the name would lead you to believe. This is basically a wireless bridge and can be use to connect any Ethernet device to a wireless network.

I was initially hesitant to buy this Linksys gaming adapter due to all the negative feedbacks. I bought it for my son's PS3 and it was an easy setup. I input my existing wireless information and it was up and running. It's been in use since Xmas 2007 and it hasn't given me any problems at all.
