Summary: Works great including Netgear Router
Review: Some of the reviews state that this doesn't work with Netgear Routers. I have a Netgear WGR614v5 and it works with it no problems. Two floors away.
I originally got the Linksys Game Adapter (WGA54G) to work with my son's XBox. However, two days and three hours on the phone with Linksys support failed to get it working. I have a lot of networking experience and knew what I was doing. It was clear that off-shore tech support was just reading a script. So I decided to take it back and get the Xbox Adapter instead.
Setup was a breeze. Just pop in the CD-Rom and it detected my network. Originally, it saw but couldn't connect to my network. I have both WEP turned on and MAC Address filtering (one of the main reasons I went with the Netgear router). I had to initially turn off the MAC filtering and then it connected fine.
Upon examining the attached devices, I noticed that the MAC address of the adpater showed up as the MAC address of the hardwire port on the XBox. Ahh, that was the clue I needed. The adapter clones the MAC address of the XBox. However, you can not just allow that MAC address. The key is you have to allow both the MAC address of the Adapter and the XBox. Then everything works fine even with MAC filtering turned on.
In short, first hook up you XBox directly to the router and check the MAC address (or turn off MAC filtering to start if you need to connect with the wireless first). Then enter both the MAC Address of the Adpater (on the bottom of the adapter) and the MAC addess of the XBox. If you allow both addresses then you can turn on filtering on and it should work.
In all, if all you want is a XBox game adpater, this is the one to go with.

Summary: Excellent quality, performance and ease of installation.
Review: This adapter was way to easy to setup. Opening the box was the worst part. Plug it into ac outlet, plug the cat5 into the xbox and pop the disk into your xbox. 10 to 15 minutes later i was online fighting little brats in the rumble pit.
in contrast, my friend opted for the netgear wireless, which is cheaper. i believe it works well for him, however you need to install stuff on a pc, that's wierd. Using the adapter it works as an independent device that gets a ip from your dhcp enabled router.
This is a must have for xbox, if you want to be wireless.
Cheers...

Summary: Painless setup, excellent device
Review: This is an excellent wireless adapter for xbox owners. Setup is very easy. I have WEP and MAC filtering configured on my router and I was able to add this device to my network. A couple things people should be aware of:1. You will need to turn SSID broadcasting on for it to work.
2. If you have a D-Link DI-614+ wireless router you will need to disable the special d-link 22mpbs mode and use 11mpbs instead (this is only a problem if you use the d-link 22mpbs speed) Being able to configure the settings from the xbox is very convenient for system link play. Haven't had any problems at all.

Summary: Worked Right The First Time
Review: This product does exactly what it is advertised to do. It was my first wireless device so I was a little worried. But I followed the instructions and it was up in running in under 10 minutes. My only problem was entering my WEP code wrong...so be careful and double check your entries. I just wish they would lower the price.

Summary: Worth every penny I spent
Review: This thing works flawlessly. And with the price now being $85 intestead of $140 from last year, all I can say it was a good investment. If you have the wireless network and the money, you should buy it.

Summary: works great with modded XBox
Review: This works wonderfully right out of the box with a modded (evoX) XBox, linked to a Linksys WRT54G. I originally tried to use the Linksys Wireless Game Adapter, which really sucked and never worked. Took a chance on this thing, worried that it would not be configurable enough with the network. Piece of cake. And 30-50 dollars cheaper than the Game Adapter. It found the network just fine and can now transfer files back and forth from the XBox from both the wireless PC and the Mac on our network via FTP. Hate to say it, but a really nice experience from MS.

Summary: I just saved $90!
Review: You can, too!!! This product is totally not needed if you have a laptop (which is why most people have wireless in the firstplace). From my Mac, all I did was go into system preferences > sharing > internet > and click "start" to share the internet access. Then I used ethernet cable (cat-5) and connected my laptop to the back of my xbox. Im sure you can do the same if you're running windows. Im sure this product is great, and it works right out of the box, but why spend the money if you don't have to? Hope this helps save some of you some cash.
