Editorial Review
The LINKSYS WGA11B Wireless-B Game Adapter gives any wired Ethernet equipped game console wireless connection capability. If you have an existing home wireless network with a cable or DSL Internet connection, the Game Adapter lets your PlayStation, XBOX, or GameCube attach to the network so you can get into online games without running wires to the game room. Or, you can 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!

Works Great with my Xbox 360 2008-03-26
Much cheaper alternative to Microsoft's $100 wireless adapter. Came with easy set-up instructions, got my 360 online in minutes.


Not an "out of the box" solution! 2008-03-04
I am a System Engineer. I like to think I know my way around computers, networks, and electronics, in general. I generally have a great deal of patience in configuring devices to operate on my network.

That being said, I cannot give this device a good rating. The documentation is poor and a networking novice might be in for a frustrating evening of trial and error. The claim that this is an "out of the box" solution for PS2 simply is not true.

The range is absolutely abysmal; so much so that it is worth one's time to rearrange that gaming area and string a cable rather than attempting a connection to a first-floor access point from the second story of an average house.

I do not have two of these devices in order to test head-to-head gaming as the documentation suggests.

I can't speak to using this device with the Xbox or other systems, but I suspect performance would be similar.

As a side note, this device performed similarly poorly when used to attach a laptop to the wireless network.

If one wants a true out-of-the-box solution for home networking without running cables, I recommend the Actiontec MegaPlug 85 Mbps Ethernet Adapter or equivalent device. Get two, plug them into wall plugs near the broadband router and PS2, respectively, and get your game on.


WORKS with 360. connection is SUB-par 2008-02-08
This item does work with XBOX 360. The connection however is not very good. I have my system on a different floor of my house. I find myself in a match of Gears of War and everyone stands still, then my connection is gone. This happens repeatedly throughtout the day. Sometimes I cannot even reach the dashboard to DOWNLOAD demos; or even check mail because it is loading or something. I think I would go with the More-expensive Microsoft Equipment.

Nice product though.


Easy installation 2008-02-08
Setup took about an hour. The paper affordabletech sent about the disk drivers not working correct was very helpful. This is the first time I have attempted a wireless setup.


Plug and Play for the 360 2008-01-15
Honestly a great product. Plug to the wall, cable to the 360 and I'm done. Its way better than the 100 dollar xbox version. Worked on my WEP and WPA encrypted wireless networks without any problems, including my university wireless, which normally is a significant pain.


Windows-only configuration (Mac users beware!), but works fairly well on 'slim' PS2 2007-12-15

Nice wireless Gaming adapter 2007-09-04
i bought this product 7 months ago and it works great with my xbox 360.
and is very inexpensive .


Easy to use... 2007-09-04
If you have a Router without encrypted network just select In channel and start playing...no more lags in game...good price for many options!


This is the Smart Decision 2007-08-10
Bought the 360 last summer, but did not have any way to attach a cat-5 cable to it, as the home network is all wireless. So, I needed a bridge, and I was determined to find a cheaper alternative to the $100 Microsoft unit. This was it, under thirty dollars at the time, and it has worked flawlessly. Online play in Halo, or Chromehounds, or when downloading on Live, everything is solid and fast. I do dock it a star simply because the documentation is woeful. My advice, set all your wep settings on the 360 itself, then put the Linksys in 'b' mode, and it should work without much hassle. You will occasionally need to 'reboot' this thing though, just unplug the power cord and plug it back in. Overall, I would get it again.


Works Great on the XBox 360 2007-08-09
I purchased this item to connect my XBox 360 to the internet, and I have to say the product works well. Lag is minimal, except when initially connecting to XBox Live.

The only real problem I have with the device is the difficulty I had installing it. For whatever reason, the software that it comes bundled with is defective; I attempted to connect to the device with my computer but kept receiving a "Connect failed!" message. I had to download it from the Linksys website after rummaging the internet and finding that this problem is a common occurrence. I was also disappointed to find that it only supports WEP encryption, not WPA; I had to change my WLAN security settings just to be able to use it.

All in all, however, it was a short time to set it up and get online. I recommend it, as this device is half the price of the Microsoft wireless ethernet adapter for the 360.
