Summary: Great item but, set-up a little tedious, WEP encrypt. tricky
Review: I purchased this to use with X-Box Live, and I highly recommend it for X-Box or for any wireless network solution simply because once you set it up, you just plug it into the ethernet port and you're connected no drivers to download, no software to install on the connected machine.Now to the downsides:
1. You set-up the device using a CD-ROM in a Windows computer and input all your network settings (matching your wireless router). Set up is not as intuitive as it could/should be, and a few times I received "Device Not Found" error, even though it was directly connected to my computer. 2. Since it is a Linksys product, if you want to use WEP encyption, it creates the key based on a "alphanumeric pass-code" or allows you to create one key code manually, however, my wireless router allows me to create my own revolving key codes (Four @ 64-bit encryption, Eight @ 128-bit encryption), so I have to keep one key code which slightly undermines the security. Despite all this, I can still recommend it - and be sure to check out compatabilty with your router if it is not a Linksys.

Summary: works for me
Review: In response to the electronics fan from Castaic, CA, this WET11 Bridge worked perfectly with my BEFW11S4 router. Just plugged it and and set it to my network name and password. Worked like a charm. Sounds like you got a defective bridge.

Summary: Bought for PS2, works well.
Review: In my home we have a wireless network. When I purchased the PlayStation 2 Network Adapter I needed a way to get a wire to get to the PS2. I had read that this would work so I decided, "There's my solution!" And sure enough it worked. It comes with a CD that is ONLY PC compatible so sorry fellow Mac users. I pluged it in and had it working in less than half an hour, so even non-computer type folks should be able to set it up fairly easily. I've had it for nearly half a year with no problems, great product!

Summary: an excellent product...
Review: As other customers already wrote in their reviews: it works fine with the Xbox. It is not true that you can't use the WEP encryption with the WET11 as one reviewer wrote. You just have to set up the WET11 first by connecting it directly to the router (using the cable that is included in the package). Setting up the WET11 was very easy using the CD-ROM on a Windows computer.

Summary: Check first !!!
Review: Check compatibility with your existing wireless devices before getting this one. Does not communicate with my BEFW11S4. Did the bios upgrade, tried default setups, etc... did not work so I'm returning this one.

Summary: Difficult to configure if not using Windows
Review: Got this to connect a desktop Macintosh to a wireless network. I had problems almost immediately: 1) Setup via CDROM was OK, but once configured it would not recognize the router. Of note, this requires a Windows machine to work.
2) Unable to upgrade the firmware via the utility downloaded from the Linksys website until I discovered that the computer had to be set to static.
3) Using a web interface was impossible; none of the changes I made were saved to the WET11. Bottom line: If you want to use this for a single configuration without ever changing it, then it is OK. If you want to use this where you might want to occasionally change the configuration (i.e. change to peer-to-peer, change WEP, change base stations), then the difficulties in changing configuration make this too much of a hassle to get.

Summary: Highest recommendation!
Review: This is an excellent product, and works exactly as advertised. The reason I bought this over a USB product is the lack of any drivers. I had problems with the USB based Netgear MA101 dropping connections (with a Netgear router), but this thing has never dropped the connection once (with a Linksys router). It is blazing fast, and you can plug it into anything with an ethernet port. I have not tried it with Xbox yet, but it seems like a perfect combination.

Summary: So far so good
Review: Used the WET11 bridge in setting up my home network last weekend and so far so good!! Set up was a breeze and I didn't have to call Linksys support. I had also purchased the Linksys befw11s4 access point/router for my wireless network and used the bridge to hook my other desktop computer into the network wirelessly. Ordinarily you would use the Linksys wireless USB adapter, but that would not work for me because my second computer runs Windows 98 (original version and not 98SE). The current version 2.6 of the Linksys wireless USB adapter requires 98SE or higher. The WET11 bridge, however, can be used with any OS and can link any ethernet device to a wireless network. I just plugged the Bridge in, connected to my ethernet plug on my computer, configured the bridge with the name of my wireless network, etc., reset the bridge by unplugging its power connection for a few seconds, plugged it back in, and it worked flawlessly to connect to my wireless network. Don't forget the reset requirement. Couldn't be happier with this product. So far so good . . . (knock on wood)!

Summary: Xbox or PS2 doesn't allow SECURITY feature to be used.
Review: This is a great product, but here is the problem. On your wireless router, you have to enable WEP which is a security setting so no one located within your routers range can hook up to your router without you knowing. With the WET, if you're using it to get your PS2 or XBOX online, you can't activate the WEP setting because you can't set the wireless device up with your XBOX or PS2 because only a windows operating system can do it. If you don't understand this, call Linksys Tech Support.

Summary: Great product. no more wires running into the garage
Review: So the setup was not as straight forward as i wished. what the linksys called as an SSID was called something else on my acess point. Of course my access point was some funky discontinued 3com thing but I love them both.the linksys has a crossover switch in the back that allows you to use more or less any types of hub regardless the availability of an uplink port. Hooking it up to the mac and the pc was just as easy since it works as if the hub was uplinked directly to the network. I'm going to buy another one for the xbox as soon as I free up some more cash....
