Summary: Wet11 and Macintosh
Review: It took a little while to figure out how to make this work with a Mac. First you change the IP address on your mac to the range of the default address on the wet11. Then change the IP address on the wet11 to the range of IP addresses on the airport. Then change the IP address on your mac back to the original setting and reboot the wet11. It works.

Summary: Perfectly simple for XBOX Live.
Review: I bought this for a new XBOX Live hookup. We have the Linksys wireless 2.4 GHz 802.11b router about 50 feet away from the new XBOX console. We plugged the bridge into the electric outlet, connected the ethernet cable to the game, and were instantly connected to the Microsoft game site. [I'm not sure if it would have required any tweaking had I had security turned on at the router, but as it was off, recognition was automatic]

Summary: Not as good as other linksys products...
Review: The WET11 is not the same quality and performance I have come to expect from Linksys after owning a few of their other products (one wireless AP router/switch, and one wired router/switch).First if all, the status LEDs are all the same color, and power up or reset does not affect their state unless you are already connected up to a WAN and/or LAN. In other words, it acts like it is DOA on power up - only the PWR led comes on. Second, it appears that you MUST use the included "SETUP" disk to initially access the WET11. The WET11, by default, has a static private IP of 192.168.1.225. Therefore, I expected to be able to bypass the setup up disk and access the WET11's html config menu directly through my web browser, but could not until after I had run the setup wizard. Third, the WET11 is not compatible with all NICs. My computer has an Orange Micro 10/100 Ethernet NIC, and the WET11 NEVER was able to work with it. (LAN LED never lit, and setup wizard could never detect the WET11; yes the cross-over select switch was in the X position). The same orange micro NIC works with both the Linksys AP, my Linksys Router/Switch, and my Motorola and RCA Cable modems, so it is obviously a compatibility issue with the WET11 and not the NIC. Fourth, the latest firmware version 1.4.3 does not have any RSSI or link quality status as the older (1.3.2) did. Why doesn't Linksys include generic link test utilities and basic signal quality and strength status meters like the ones included in CISCO 802.11 products? It seems that Linksys is afraid to let the user see this info as it may shed light on the poor performance of this product:-( Fifth, the cost of the WET11 is more than their BEFW11S4 Wireless AP router/switch. WHY? The BEFW11S4 has way more functionality, quality, and can be configured to act like a wireless bridge anyways, with a little effort. In summary, if you have a computer that has a non-orange micro NIC (an any other non-compatible NIC), and you use the setup disk and ignore the Status LEDS, and do not upgrade the firmware, then the WET11 may be right for you.

Summary: Worked perfect with Xbox
Review: Installed the WET11 onto my linksys wireless network, plugged the cat5 cable into the WET11 and the back of the Xbox and the connection works beautifully. No problems at all and have had no connection problems. I definitely recommend this product with the use of an Xbox.

Summary: What Linksys tech support doesn't even know...
Review: I purchased this item to link an original iMac to my home network. I understood this device was easy to add to an Apple Airport network. When it arrived, I could not get Mac support from the Linksys tech support, which was obviously based in India, a long way from here. Documentation for use on a Mac was non-existent. And the set-up software was Windows only. Well, thankfully, I persisted in my belief that there had to be an easier way and finally I stumbled on to a Knowledge Base article entitled " Setting up the WET 11 on Macintosh" or something like that, and voila, someone at Linksys was awake at the switch. WHY CAN'T THEY INCLUDE THIS INFO IN THE PACKAGE OR ON THE CD?? WHY DO MAC USERS HAVE TO ENDURE SO MUCH PAIN? This set-up was VERY easy after I read the instructions provided for the Mac. I wonder if in fact Windows users can have it so simple? All I needed was the proper Ethernet address for the device to access on its browser interface and the rest was a breeze. This is a great device for adding a wireless node to your existing AIrport network. Good Luck!

Summary: Great!
Review: I strongly suggest investing your money in this cheap piece of equipment. I used mine to get online with my Gamecube, which is very far aaway from my cable modem and PC. Once I purchessed this item, I was instantly online at amazing speeds. I strongly suggest this product. What I was mostly surprised about, was the good range which this product has indoors. I am extremely please :) buy it!

Summary: Works seamlessly with Linksys Wireless Access Point Router
Review: I purchased the WET11 to connect an "internet ready device" - a home theater component to the internet. The device had a standard 10/100 ethernet port that worked fine cabled directly to the router. I didn't want to run a network segment to the device, so the option that I preferred was to use this wireless bridge.
The WET11 is a bridge - not an access point, so you must have an access point on the premises for it to work. With the Linksys access point, there were no hassles.
Connecting it is easy: power and ethernet cable. The device has a switch for straight-through or cross-over connections, and a link status light lets you know if it is connected. There are indicators for power, link, WLAN, and self-test.
I started with linksys defaults (both the BEFWS11 and WET11) and connected the first try. Then I configured the settings for security.
Configuring the WET11 is through a CD-based program that allows you to configure all WET11s that the computer can "see" by being either on the wired ethernet segment or the wireless segment.

Summary: Awesome for X-Box Live
Review: The one obstacle that kept me on the fence in terms of deciding whether or not to purchase an X-Box Live Starter kit was the fact that I did NOT want cables running through my bedroom into my living room in order to connect my X-Box to my cable modem. The Linksys Wet11 Wireless Bridge was the answer to all my concerns. This smart little piece of hardware was very simple to install. All you do is attach it to your PC or laptop and load up the starter disk. From there it self-configures matching the settings of your wireless router (in my case I'm using the BEFW11S4 v2). Then you detach it from your PC and attach it to the X-Box or whatever ethernet hardware you need to use. I do hear that it works equally well with Playstation 2. Setup time was about 20 minutes. I then popped the X-Box Live disk into the X-Box and was able to sign in easily. The connection has been fast enough to maintain connections to X-Box live without any lag in gameplay. The Wet11 is a nifty little product that works great for me. Look, Ma, X-box Live with NO WIRES!

Summary: Great with ReplayTV;
Review: This is a complement wireless device for the ReplayTV 5000 series digital video recorders. I installed it in my home which already has a Netgear wireless network. The bridge installed with no problems at all and it recognized the ASP automatically. However, to keep more permanent, I set up the IP addresses manually (no DHCP in my configuration although it is supported). Once the wireless bridge is set up, I started the ReplayTV 5040 and it try to use DHCP which the bridge is not set up to do. Therefore, I configured the ReplayTV manually by setting up the IP/DNS adresses same as the one on the bridge. After rebooting everything, the ReplayTV connected to the Internet and completed its programing. A great device highly recommended if you have a wireless set up at home already. My next task is to connect one of these bridge to a Playstation 2.

Summary: Works great with Xbox and Office PC
Review: My network consists of a Netgear WAB102 dual band 802.11a and b Access Point in my office. Initially tested the WET11 on my PC during setup and worked great. Then took it and plugged it into my Xbox and no problem. Makes for very clean wiring.
