Summary: Well....
Review: It was awesome for about 1 1/2 years.....and then it just quit working.....i went to their website and got a firmware upgrade and still it just sat there....i wander if this had anything to do with it being knocked off the table every other day?

Summary: Redesigned - Now bad
Review: I have an older wet11 which is awesome. I just purchased a new one and found that it is now labeled version 2.

Well version two has a cheap antenna compared to the old version and is getting around 25% reception in the same spot that my old model gets in the high 70s to 80s. Very disappointed.

Summary: dud
Review: So I don't sound like I'm slamming Linksys. My USB device by them is awesome and my router works like a champ, but the WET11 is a did. It doesn't set up easy (I never made it work) and Linksys' technical support clearly have no idea how to make it work.

Four hours, a restocking fee and tons of heart ache later I'm looking elsewhere for my wireless bridge.

Summary: Good product, setup a bit of a pain
Review: I initially tried to use the setup application that came on the CD with this, but never got it to work. Eventually, I used the web based admin utility and set it up myself. I would have given it 5 start if the setup utility worked, but people without experience setting up a wireless system might have trouble.

I have it running with 128 bit WEP encryption, and MAC address filtering with no problems.

Summary: Quality Control Issues
Review: I own four of these. Two of them work flawlessly, but the other two have been nothing but trouble. These lock up frequently, particularly during periods of sustained activity. Linksys technical support was not helpful. They suggested that the problem might be due to an IP address conflict (which was not the case). Upgrading to the lastest firmware (version 1.5.4) has not helped either. I noticed that the two bad ones both have serial numbers starting with BBQ002, while the good ones have serial numbers starting with BBQ112.

Summary: Works great with Linksys WRT54G WAP and Xbox
Review: I purchase this item last week with much trepidation. I always wanted a reliable inexpensive wireless network for my home but was intimadated by the complexity and cost. I just activated an Xbox live subscription and the ehternet cable running dow the hallway was really pissing people off so I took the plunge. For approx $160 I picked up the WET11 and a Linksys WRT54G Wireless -G AP. I couldn't beleive how easy it was to set up. I could have saved $20 by getting a B standard router but in a few month I wanna connect 2 more PC's and it seems better to hace more.bandwith then less. Entire setup time for the router, bridge and Xbox? 20 mins with no encryption. Add another 10 mins to get the 128 bit encryption up and running. I can't comment on Linksys bad customer support as I've had no reason to call them. It truely was plug and play right out the box. Very impressive linksys! It would be nice though to have the signal strength displayed somewhere. My Xbox is about 70 ft and 3 walls away from my WAP. My ISP is Comcast Cable and I notice no lag when playing LIve games. Juest as good as an ethernet cable. One room over is a panasonic cordless phone (2.4 Ghz also), and no problems.

Summary: Great Product for Playstation
Review: Excellent Product. Took me literally 5 minutes to set this up and I was wirelessly online with my PS2. As some reviewere have stated incorrectly, this bridge DOES work with D-Link routers. Great product, easy to use

Summary: Watch out for WET11, version 2 - couldn't get it to work!
Review: I have purchased several Linksys products before and have recommended them to many friends and co-workers, but after my experience with the WET11 version 2, I will no longer endorse Linksys products. I work in the computer industry and am very familiar with setting up networking gear, and I just could not get the darn thing to work. Linksys tech support, which usually is somewhat helpful, was absolutely useless. At the moment I am writing this, there is no documentation or firmware updates available for the WET11 version 2 on the Linksys website, and their warranty return website is down to boot. This piece of crap is going straight back to Amazon. Unless you can guarantee you're getting the older version of the WET11, and not WET11 version 2 w/ firmware version 2.05, I'd hold off I buying this until Linksys/Cisco gets its act together. Very disappointed...

Summary: Couldn't be easier to use.
Review: My network has a 802.11b router, Wireless Access point, 802.11g wireless router and several wireless 802.11 adapters. Last night I added this wireless bridge. Configuration took less than 5 minutes. Once configured it just worked. You have to love Linksys ... it all works, it's all easy to use and configure. Wonderful.
