Summary: Great for remote workgroup
Review: I have the cable modem and Wireless router (BEFW11S4) downstairs and my workgroup upstairs. I use WET11 wire to the router (BEFSR41) upstairs and it works great. All of my PCs can plug in BEFSR41 and surf on internet. The PCs in workgroup can also use Cisco VPN connect to my company, this is not possible when I tried to use the Linksys wireless card.Although it took me a while to configure and the technical support at Linksys was not too helpful, this is a great product.

Summary: Great Linux Option
Review: I bought this (and a cheapo network card: SMC) because I tired of trying to get my Linux box working with my wireless network (using WUSB11 2.5). I simply plugged the bridge into the network card and was surfing the net within minutes. If you've struggled in vain with trying to get your wireless working with Linux, this is the product for you. It's a little more expensive but it is worth the price. Plus, I think I am getting better response from the network than I did with the WUSB11 (I use an XP box also). I don't know if the setup works with Linux as I configured mine with XP but it only requires hooking it up to a Windows ethernet and running the setup off the CD (no files are installed). Took about 1 minute.

Summary: Useful piece of equipment
Review: I ordered the WET11 to hook my XBox to a wireless network. Although I initially had problems configuring the different parts of the network, Linksys customer support was very helpful and got me up and running. I can't tell a difference between playing wireless and when I was wired with a Cat-5 cable running through my house. Very happy with it.

Summary: Don't Buy!!!!
Review: This was the worst decision i ever made. Right after the first week all of my houses etherenet Bridges shut down. Take my advise and stick to wired internet. its much more reliable. yeah sure u have to spend the extra bucks to get wires put in
but it won't shut down on u. Linksys really needs to work on making better wireless internet.

Summary: Perfect Compatability with PS2
Review: I use the bridge in a very focused situation. I waited to buy for quite a while because I was concerned about PS2 compatability. On the advice of previous reviews, I bought the bridge, plugged it into the PS2 network adapter, a SHAZAM!! No problems. You dont need to use setup CD from Lynksys, just the PS2 setup disk.

Summary: Saved me quite a bit of wiring
Review: I have broadband internet access in my upstairs bedroom. I wanted the kids to be able to access the internet too. Their computers are downstairs. Since I'm renting this house, I didn't want to tear into the walls to install new wiring. I got a Linksys WAP11 (access point) for upstairs and a WET11 for downstairs, and now I can hook several computers (via a hub) to the WET11, and they can all get internet access. This saved me a little bit of money, since I didn't need to get a wireless PCI card for each computer downstairs. The setup was fairly easy. The Linksys lets you configure WEP encryption with a passphrase instead of the usual long string of hex characters. That's convenient if both your client and access point are both Linksys (which they are, in my case). I'm sure Linksys likes that I have an incentive to buy more Linksys devices for the convenience of setup. You can configure the device with a web browser. One annoying thing is that if something goes wrong, you don't get internet access, so you can't use the web browser to go into the WET11 to fix the configuration. You have to go back to the Linksys CD, which contains a setup program. I've heard that the WET11 can also be used with a TiVo. It's something I want to try but right now the arrangement we have puts the TiVo and the computers downstairs far away from each other, so I don't have this set up. I find the Linksys custom setup app pretty annoying. Instead of using standard Windows widgets, it has its own "pretty" window with its own nonstandard titlebar, nonstandard radio buttons, etc. They didn't implement all the shortcuts (shortcut keys, cut/paste, etc.), so it's really a pain to use their program. To make it look k00l they gave up consistency and usability. :-(

Summary: Works if you leave it on channel 6
Review: I have a D-Link DI-614+ wireless router and tried to connect the WET11 bridge to my wireless network. However, after many many attempts, I discovered that the WET11 refuses to connect to any infrastructure channel other than 2-6. Even so, in order to get the WET11 to connect to my network, I had to change the network to channel 6. After verifying that the bridge had connected to the WLAN (green light came on), I then moved the network to another channel between 2-5. After using this bridge for a few days, I find that the bridge loses the wireless connection, and I have to change the network channel back to 6, and then back to my preferred channel, for the bridge to connect. Don't expect this particular bridge to work smoothly if you use a wireless infrastructure channel other than the default channel 6.

Summary: So Simple
Review: My wife bought me an Xbox Live subscription for Christmas. Lovely gift, but with one big problem: The Xbox wasn't in a room with an internet connection. And so the Xbox Live Starter Kit sat unused in the garage. Until today. Today, my Linksys Wireless Ethernet Bridge arrived. I plugged the power cord into the wall. I plugged the Bridge into the Xbox. And I was finished. Installation complete. Xbox Live was up and running. Oh, and did I mention the connection is flawless and fast? Now I'm playing Ghost Recon against people from who-knows-where, and all I had to do was plug in two cords. It doesn't get any easier, and it can't get much better.

Summary: Set-up was effortless, works like a champ - no problems.
Review: I use this device with my ReplayTV 5040. I could not get an ethernet cable to my Replay unit (other than an ugly exposed wire across the room). With no other options, I decided to get this wireless bridge to utilize my Replay's ethernet port. Works great, never a problem (I wish I could say the same about my ReplayTV).

Summary: Perfect for Xbox Live
Review: I would have given this 5 stars but they included the wrong installation disc in the package and I had to borrow a friend's install disc. Major boo boo. Also, and it probably depends on your system, but I had a rough time getting my computer to detect it. My settings were probably messed, but I was never comfortable with the setup, even after if was done. I had this feeling that maybe it was going to conk out in the middle of a game. As with all wireless peripherals, speed and reliability depend on your distance from the base and the obstacles in between. It takes a performance hit when I play it in the living room (the hub is upstairs), but otherwise is usually fast enough to play comfortably. I highly recommend this product, and especially to anyone with an aversion to ethernet cables longer than 10 feet.
