Ok, after going through 2 of these adapters with the Amazon return department (Linksys informed me the first one was defective) and hours on the phone with Linksys customer support, I finally got it working. I have the Linksys WRT54G wireless G router and this game adapter DID NOT work right out of the box. After troubleshooting just about everything and anything what finally did the trick was found in the game adapters web based utility program found by going to 192.168.1.250 while the adapter is connected to your computer by ethernet cable. Leave the username blank and enter "admin" in password. Click on the advanced tab and make sure that static IP is selected. The Ip address should be 192.168.1.250 and the Gateway should be 192.168.1.1 (which comes blank by default) That one change got me up and running... GOOD LUCK!

Well, I bought this item for my Xbox prior to reading all of the troubles most seem to have. My brother, who builds computers, as a side job, recommended the Linksys to me b/c he said they are the leader in wireless internet blah blah.
(I am no computer whiz by any means)
Anyhow, after I ordered it (from another company online), I then decided to check out the reviews on Amazon (I know, I worked backwards on this)...but I definately got worried after reading all the difficulty most have.
But too late, item was shipped.
Upon recieving, I hooked it up to my ROUTER (not computer as the instruction sheet said to) (my router is a Linksys G (not sure model #), then plugged it in the outlet, and ran the setup disk. That took about 2 or 3 minutes.
Then I unhooked it and took it to my Xbox which is in the next room, about 25' from the computer, seperated by a wall.
I hooked it up to my Xbox and plugged it in and was up and running.
Total time it took me to finally play someone online was about 15 to 20 minutes, b/c all of the inputing you have to do to set up online with the Xbox.
So, for me, it works great, no problems.
Only gripe is, this unit runs HOT. Hope that doesn't cause any longevity issues.

I purchased this product for my Playstation 2 after careful speculation, despite certain poor reviews given by some Amazon.com members. I tried for a while to get my computer to "see" the game adapter. Eventually, I just hooked it up to my PS2. Using Madden 2004, I tested the connection. The first time, it did not work. I tried again, this time replugging in the adapter of my router. This seemed to do the trick, at least for madden. However, when I inserted my Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4 disk, it said that the Game Adapter was not connected. My advice: Do not buy this adapter if you want to play THPS4 (It worked fine with my Madden 2004 and Socom games, though)
