Product Description
The LINKSYS WGA54G Wireless-G Game Adapter gives any wired Ethernet-equipped game console 802.11g wireless connection capabilities. If you have an existing home wireless network and a cable or DSL Internet connection, the Game Adapter connects your PlayStation2, Xbox or GameCube to the network. That way, you can get into online games without running wires to the game room. Or, use a pair of Game Adapters to form a "cable-less cable" between two game consoles, for head-to-head gaming -- in the same room, or all the way across the house.

 excellent buy June 26, 2008
Honestly, i dont know why people have complained that much about the setup on this product. It took me less than 5 minutes to configure it to my wireless network ( which has wep encryption and everything). all you really need to do is follow the instructions given with the device and you should have no problems at all. It works exactly like it says it does, and could not have been an easier set up at all.
Only downside to this product is that Fry's sells it at exactly the same price, so if you are looking for one... go to Fry's, unless you like paying the same price and waiting a week for it. up to you.
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.
