Customer Reviews
Worked for 3 weeks than stopped? 
2007-10-31
The game adapter quit working after 3 weeks and I can't get it to work anymore. Once I got it running I threw out the packing so I guess I can't return it.
Works perfectly as a bridge for my Mac! 
2007-10-30
I've got a Mac G4 and didn't want to buy an airport card or a third-party USB wi-fi adapter. Got this instead. Yes, the menus and setup are NOT great, but not horrible either. I am reasonably wi-fi savvy so that helped with setting this up ... others may have challenges so be warned.
Using with a Netgear MR814v2, two rooms away (40 ft) and I get 100% signal strength with 128-bit WEP. Speed is identical to what I got for my wired Ethernet DSL. Used continuously now for five days - no dropouts, no unreasonable heat.
Works for some time

This works decently for about 3 weeks at a time, then freezes up. Powering off and on does not fix it. I have to completely reset it, and then set it up again for my wireless network.
Radio interference from xbox 360 wireless controllers 2007-09-22
While this Wifi Bridge works flawlessly with the ps2 & xbox, Logitech wireless controllers on both, it does not with the xbox 360's wireless controllers. The wifi signal dies the second I activate the wireless controllers. I'm working on trying to fix this, but if anyone has any advice, it'd be greatly appreciated !
Does what it is supposed to 
2007-09-12
not the easiest config but not nearly as bad as other reviews would have you believe. Most of the "doesn't work" reviews can be attributed to user error.
It's worked flawlessly on my xbox1 and 360 for 2 years. Strong connection, good speed to both the linksys and dlink routers i have used it with.
Beats $99 for the ms 360 wireless adapter and works just as good
Works great with Direct TV On Demand 
2008-07-03
I purchased this item to tie into my Direct Tv DVr to beta their On Demand Service. It works fine. a little convoluted to set up but once it was set up at my PC , I moved it to the TV and it worked great.
Works as Advertised 2008-02-19
Bought adapter to attached my DirecTV DVR to my network. Everything else on the network is Linksys but the form factor and WPA encryption made this device an attractive choice. I believe not all versions of the Linksys adapter support WPA. According to the documentation if I was on a fully D-Link system configuration would be automatic, can not vouch for that. Took me about a hour to get everything working together. This device fails the wife test. My wife just connected a new HP printer to the network, as a novice she would not have been able to hook up the D-Link without help. Did have to upgrade the G820 firmware to 2.20 to get the thing to work. For me it does not run particularly hot and has been stable since being installed a week ago. The small size makes the G820 a perfect fit and the throughput is fine. Given the ongoing price drops with electronics I am surprised the adapter has gone up in price here at Amazon since I bought it. Don't think it was onsale when I bought it.
GREAT PRODUCT 2008-02-10
i have had this product for almost a month now and i have had zero problems with it. it is always connected to my router and delivers great speed. when playing Call Of Duty 4 i always have a full signal.
Easy to set up, but no support for WPA-PSK with AES 2008-01-23
The device seems easy enough to set up, but I returned it within hours after discovering that it does not support AES as a cipher with WPA-PSK. Even though the D-Link website claims it does, after getting bounced around their tech support line for an hour a 2nd level person told me it does not actually support that recommended that I run the less secure TKIP cipher. nice. Guess I will give the Linksys a try.
Works Great with Ethernet All-In-One Printer 2007-11-21
D-Link DWL-G820 Wireless Gaming Adapter, 802.11g, 108Mbps
I used this wireless gaming adapter as a wireless bridge from the ethernet connection on my HP Officejet 6310 All-In-One Printer to my D-Link wireless router. It connected my printer/scanner to my wireless home network and it works great! The only problem was that I had to download the updated firmware from D-Link for it to work. After this was done, it has been working great with no problems!
