Summary: great product
Review: unit was easy to setup. only problem i had was I put the mac address of the adapter into my wireless adapter`s mac filtering allow list. if your using mac filtering like me make sure you enter the mac address of your playstation network adapter. not the wireless game adapter. connection was pretty good. had a few issues with putting it in a good location so it wouldnt disconnect. pretty much plug and play like the package says.

Summary: No obsenity can express my anger.
Review: Got this for myself so I could play Resident Evil Outbreak on the Network setting. First one I got I was patient with, I read the directions, which were crap and lacking, then I went ahead and tried to set it up. I have WEP, which immediately makes the setup exponentially more difficult, but I was ok with that. I hooked it up into the ethernet outlet in the back of my computer, and continued with the setup. I went ahead and followed the "easy to use" guide, filled in my WEP password and all this other stuff. It still did not work. The first time I called the tech support, the man I got was really helpful, and actually stayed on the phone with me for a long time trying to figure it out. When almost every outlet had been exhausted, he begrudgingly told me that it might be the product that was defective. I doubted this could be the case, and so I continued on with the setup, double checking that my internet and my wireless network was all up and running. I called again, the woman I got had a hard to understand accent, and her only advice for me in our 5 minute conversation was "try to reset it". Angrily, I tried to reset it, as this had become days of me trying to set this god forsaken device up. Resetting it did NOTHING. I returned it, got another, and tried again. Went through the process again. Called tech support for someone who knew nothing about this adapter. Sat there for an hour trying to explain to him that yes, I had tried toggling that little switch on the side, and it didn't seem to be magically working. His final result? Oh it might be the cable that came with the product that connects it to the PS2. I had to explain to him several times that I did not have another cable, and when he finally understood what I meant, he gave me the advice of "the product isn't defective, but the cable might be." While I am seeing red, as I have screwed around with this product for over a week now to no avail, I am thinking about trying one last time to set it up before going for an alternative. For me it's not something for convenience, because I have a wireless network in my house; I have no other options if I want to play my console games online. I think my issue might be that I have a Netgear wireless network. I'm not sure of the compatability between the companies...whereas I would doubt that there would be this compatability, I found a sentence along the lines of "This feature only compatable with Linksys products" in the setup about setting up the WEP configuration for the product.

Summary: Compatibility issues
Review: I just recently purchased the WGA11b and wasn't too excited to see that the set up was not as EASY as they claimed. After speaking with someone working at Dunkin' Dounuts, I come to find out that there are some compatibility issues with my existing wireless network, which tech support failed to mention. They didn't have a clue and the guy walking me through it was lost. Although, it works fine if you have a Linksys Wireless network there are issues getting this to operate properly on a more sophisticated wireless system.

Summary: lagging at it's best
Review: if you already have your ps2 wired online.....and think going wireless would be cool....don't do it. i thought the very same thing and bought the linksys "b" game adapter. it connects online right out of the box....even with enrcyption on. i mostly play socom 2 online....i was voted off for extreme lag. i don't know if there are anyother wireless game adapters but going wireless with this product isn't what the company advertizes it to be. the company says lag free gaming experience...no....it's lag all the way experience...i haven't tried the "g" adapter but don't think i will do so anytime soon.....i'm staying wired.

Summary: Product was defective
Review: I got this wireless adapter and simply could not get it to work. After waiting one hour on tech support and then talking to tech support for another hour, they said the item was defective. The instructions that come on the CD are incomplete and you must look up the instructions online on their website. I am shipping it back for a refund now

Summary: Does not function as described
Review: I purchased this product with hopes of being able to play online games wirelessly with my ps2. This product sells itself as "easy to setup", but that couldn't be more further from the truth. First of all, I have two wireless devices on my network. Both work flawlessly, and did so out of the box. DHCP did everything for me with those items. However, although this product boasts that little or no configuration is required, it's basically a lie. You have to run the setup utility to get it to work on any resonable network. After running the setup and specifying my SSID, I first tried DHCP. Didn't work. So then I tried specifying an IP. Same problem. So, and here's where it got fun, I called tech support. Linksys has BY FAR the worst technical support of any company selling wireless products. I was on hold for over two hours before I got through. When I did, I could hardly understand the gentlemen on the other end of the phone. We tried several things, but none worked. I figured I'd sleep on it, and try to get someone else to help me the next day. I called after work, and again waited, this time for an hour and a half. All the while I continued trying different things to get this thing up and running. When I got though, the lady on the other end of the phone told me to hold while she got someone more experienced. I waited yet another hour before I heard some weird clicks and the line on the other end went silent, then dropped. I would not recommend this product to anyone. The technical support is horrid, and the product does not fuction as described. If you want something that works, try d-link or netgear.

Summary: Mac users beware!
Review: Although this product implies that it is platform independent, if your network is encrypted to keep the bad guys out, you will need a Windows computer to set it up. Check out the linksys.com website for specific information... I wish someone had told me before I bought this one.

Summary: Great addition to your network and your PS2!!!
Review: You would think that using the same exact setup, the same application, and all the same name brand equiptment(linksys)in your home network it would be easy to replace one piece,the WGA11B with the WGA54G and it would work fine. It wasn't quite that easy. After seeing how easy it was to set up the WGA11B both on the CPU and the PS2 I deceided to make the jump to an all "G" network because I heard that the mixed setting can really slow down your network. I literaly had the WGA11B hooked up in five minutes without wep. Just set it to In mode pjug it in and your off. Then I decided it's better to be safe then sorry so I used the P1 setting to add wep. That was another hard 2 minutes. Up and playing PS2 online in under 15 minutes including boot up time and setting up my EA account. The WGA11B works flawlessly. I play at my brothers house who has a wired connection and there is absolutly no difference! The WGA54G on the other hand seems impossible to set up. I still don't know if anyone is able to do it. I have a base knowledge of computers and tried for about 1 1/2 hrs. I then called Tech support. Very nice guy that tried anything possible other that saying just whack it once real good on the side. After about an hr he said it must be defective so I drove the hr one way to return it for another. Got it home fired it up seemed to loading much faster than the other one. Wasn't locking up all the time like the other one. I spoke to soon. It must start messing up when it gets warm and it does get warm. Called tech support again this time got a woman who was also very nice was transferred once, everyone very polite. But other than when it would freeze up the wireless light would not come on. 0-2 and not attempting #3. I will stick with the much more reliable WGA11B and hope that they come out with updates that allow "B" products to work with out slowing down the network. It doesn't slow the internet only the speed between you wireless CPU's. I still have a Linksys router WRT54G and the game adapter that work perfect. I learned my lesson and it cost me about two days.... If it's not broken, don't fix it!

Summary: Linksys WGA11B Wireless-B Game Adapter
Review: This device works just fine with the PlayStation 2. I had no problem going online or playing head to head with two playstations and two Linksys wireless adapters. It works with my Linksys router and it works with with a 3com router; I don't see why it wouldn't work with any other brand. You plug it in and go. The hardest thing you have to do is select the proper channel by pushing a button. It comes with a CD for your computer that explains the setup and checks your settings so you don't have to be a geek to hook it up.
