This worked as I was expecting, configuration is a pain but if you've configured your own wireless router manually then it shouldn't be an issue. When I had a wireless G router, I noticed some lag on X-Box live, but I've since upgraded to a good wireless N router. Now I can play Halo Reach Matchmaking and not have lag significantly affect gameplay!

Unlike what many reviewers said, it is not that tough to set up.

Basically, you plug it to your PC/MAC, change your PC/MAC ip adress to 10.10.10.3, and then log on to 10.10.10.254.

Enter the username/passwd as admin/admin, set everything up, and connect it to the Xbox/PS3. It's that easy !

I haven't tried it with a game yet, but I did the Xbox update via Xbox Live and it worked fine.

Plus, I got it for $26 on eBay, which is far from the $80 you spend for the Microsoft product.

Peace :p

I purchased one of these network adapters for my nephew, hoping to save $50 by skipping the Microsoft brand wireless N adapter, and I regretted it the moment I started trying to install it for him. The installation is ridiculously convoluted, and I'd consider myself an expert with computers and networking. The software included with it is poorly coded and barely works, and it turns out the adapter won't work with dsl or fios at all. I ended up taking a quick drive to a Gamestop and getting the Microsoft branded N product, which took all of five minutes to set up.

Before returning this product, I decided to give it a shot with my Comcast Extreme 50 home connection. Once I managed to get the thing working it couldn't handle the speed of my connection and throttled it down to 15mbit.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this thing at all costs, if you need a wireless adapter and can't afford the Microsoft wireless N, buy one of the older Microsoft wireless G adapters you'll get the same speed due to the throttling on the madcatz product and you'll avoid a massive headache when trying to install the little nightmare.

I use this to get n on my ps3 so it doesn't slow entire network to g speed. Setup is simple but wont work with any browser but ie. So if you don't use windows like me you'll have to borrow a friends laptop. You may be better off going with a client bridge ddwrt setup
