 Game Bridge for X-Box360 June 9, 2008
The Linksys WGA54G Wireless-G Gaming Adapter works as advertized.
You MUST read ALL the directions before trying to hookup to your home
wireless network. If you don't, you will more than likely get a "no
connection" when you first try to use it. I tried it out of the box
and it didn't work. Yuck, I read the instructions and somehow it seemed
to work after that :-) Can you imagine that?
 Not A Bad Adapter At All June 6, 2008
Have this device for about a month. Was pretty easy to set up and I am not an expert at these things but I do know how to read the directions which by the way were very good. Took me about 20 min to set up via my computer. All I needed was my WEP Passcode and IP address and it worked fine. If you don't have WEP or WAP proction on your wireless network(you should though!!!)then this works right out of the box with no setup which is cool. I give it 4 stars because it can be a little quirky sometimes and I have to restart a few times before it grabs a connection, but not a big deal though, only take a few extra seconds out of my life. Its also not bad looking, I mean it's not some ugly piece of equipment you will want to hide from view. Hope this review helps.
Worth the hassle June 5, 2008
I, like many others, had huge headaches initially setting up this wireless adapter. I actually had to go to a friend's house and use his computer to set it up because (after a couple of hours and several attempts) Linksys Support said that my wireless router was too old to communicate with this adapter (at least for setup, not for use thereafter). However, after all the hassle of getting the wireless adapter setup, the pay off has been amazing. I haven't had any problems since the initial setup and I have used it to get both my PS3 and Xbox 360 online flawlessly. So it was pain in the butt to set up, but it has ultimately been worth it.

Terrible product, highly unreliable. Save yourselves the headaches of trying to get this to work with your network. It may work sometimes, but out of the blue it won't be able to connect anymore. Judging by Linkys' help forum, the ineffectiveness of this product is widespread.
Linksys products just don't work March 30, 2008

For some background, I am a computer programmer by schooling with over 5 years practical programming experience on both Linux and Windows systems and have spent the past 2 years as director of a Network Control Center, so I know quite a bit about computers and networking.
This is my second Linksys product I have purchased in the past year. The first was a Linksys wireless G router. I returned the router twice trying to get the thing to work. Finally I replaced it with a Netgear WGR614 and it worked perfectly right out of the box.
Now I have this wireless G gaming adapter. I would never have purchased another Linksys product after the router incident but Linksys is apparently the only company still making gaming adapters for the market. I have tried 2 of these adapters with no success. The products do not stay properly connected to the router. It will say it is connected but does not communicate at all.
I am officially done with Linksys. Save your $$ and your sanity. Stay away from these terrible products.
UPDATE: I purchased a Netgear WGPS606 to replace this product and find it to be a much better buy. It's cheaper, and includes a 4 port switch so you can connect up to 4 consoles or, alternatively, media center PCs or just a desktop in your den. This device can also function as a print server for up to 2 USB printers. All-in-all, a far superior device with better reliability, all for less money.
