Linksys Wireless-G Game Adapter-TOP NOTCH PRODUCT January 12, 2008

I don't get all the whinning in some of these other reviews. This works great on my XBOX 360! Sure it took a bit of time to set up, but the majority of the setup process is an optional security configuration. I think not getting hacked is worth a few extra minutes. This is a faster and more secure alternative to the more exspensive Microsoft version.
 Costly Support! January 6, 2008
I have had my Linksys router for 3 years. I also had to get a bridge to extend the range because it couldn't go through walls very well. I had to call them a lot because sometimes the bridge or router somehow lost the address.
They used to have free support until just very recently. My beef is with the cost of support. 3.99 a minute. ( I don't know if that includes listening for many minutes to bad music.) You can get 3 months support for $199, 6 months for $299 or 1 year for $499!!! I can tell you I spent many hours talking to tech support before this recent change of events. You will need tech support now and again when you change ISPs, go elsewhere.
Works with XBOX 360 January 5, 2008
I bought this to use with my kids' XBOX 360. Configured it with a notebook computer in 5 minutes. Wireless network that you want to connect to must be active when configuring. Has been working fine for over 1 month so far.

I bought this item for enabling me to connect my Toshiba HD A35 DVD player to the internet, after what I thought was some decent research. But boy was I in for a surprise. First there were no printed instructions in the box, that may be the fault of the distributor not necessarily Cisco. However I used the CD to try install the device, which started looking for the WGA54G. That's when it occurred to my that I need to connect it to my computer using the ethernet cable. The set up was supposed to automatically detect the device and proceed with the configuring. This did not happen. I had to contact Cisco via the online chat to get help. So I had to use the browser setting to configure the device. This was where I got the big shocker. The wireless security provided is WEP only. For those who do not know; WEP is not recommended as an effective wireless security protocol, WPA is preferred. My existing wireless network runs on WPA. Cisco instructed me to change the wireless network settings to WEP (are they crazy?). So I said no, when will there be a firmware upgrade available to support WAP. Answer is we do not know, you may want to try a network wireless bridge WET54G which does the same thing but supports WPA. The transmission speeds for the WgA54G is also slow, I currently transmit at up to speeds of 108 MPS. So if you have a modern wireless network, do not purchase this antiquated device, unfortunately I do not have a recommendation for you, I am still researching a better solution.
