    Terrible setup, February 12, 2006
By user (Some where in the USA)
If you use WEP encryption, this device can be a real pain to configure. You have to plug it into your PC or your router to get all of the options you need to configure it.

    Akward setup, poor range, September 23, 2004
By user (California)
I was hoping to be able to get this item insteadl of one of the $100 xbox wireless bridges, however, this item doesn't compete at all with the range of the xbox adapter. I did notice that there are booster antenas to replace the one which comes in the box, and supposedly that will give this set a better range. However, then the cost is up to the one of the xbox anyway.

Also, this piece did not configure easily at all. It wouldn't work when connected to the xbox, but I had to go and install it on my PC (that means if you don't have a PC, it could be useless) then connect it to the xbox to get it to work.
