Product Description:
The LINKSYS WGA54G Wireless-G Game Adapter gives any wired Ethernet-equipped game console 802.11g wireless connection capabilities. If you have an existing home wireless network and a cable or DSL Internet connection, the Game Adapter connects your PlayStation2, Xbox or GameCube to the network. That way, you can get into online games without running wires to the game room. Or, use a pair of Game Adapters to form a “cable-less cable” between two game consoles, for head-to-head gaming — in the same room, or all the way across the house.

Customer Reviews

Do not buy by RS
Terrible product, highly unreliable. Save yourselves the headaches of trying to get this to work with your network. It may work sometimes, but out of the blue it won’t be able to connect anymore. Judging by Linkys’ help forum, the ineffectiveness of this product is widespread.

Linksys products just don’t work by TheNexus
For some background, I am a computer programmer by schooling with over 5 years practical programming experience on both Linux and Windows systems and have spent the past 2 years as director of a Network Control Center, so I know quite a bit about computers and networking.

This is my second Linksys product I have purchased in the past year. The first was a Linksys wireless G router. I returned the router twice trying to get the thing to work. Finally I replaced it with a Netgear WGR614 and it worked perfectly right out of the box.

Now I have this wireless G gaming adapter. I would never have purchased another Linksys product after the router incident but Linksys is apparently the only company still making gaming adapters for the market. I have tried 2 of these adapters with no success. The products do not stay properly connected to the router. It will say it is connected but does not communicate at all.

I am officially done with Linksys. Save your $$ and your sanity. Stay away from these terrible products.

UPDATE: I purchased a Netgear WGPS606 to replace this product and find it to be a much better buy. It’s cheaper, and includes a 4 port switch so you can connect up to 4 consoles or, alternatively, media center PCs or just a desktop in your den. This device can also function as a print server for up to 2 USB printers. All-in-all, a far superior device with better reliability, all for less money.

Works just fine by Michael A. Fellows
I needed it for online gaming. I haven’t used it a lot yet, but it worked just fine the few times I did.

Used on a DirecTV DVR HR20 by Thomas Caddoo
I purchased this device to use on my DirecTV HD DVR HR20. It worked flawlessly. I set the device up using my desktop computer (like the instructions directed me to do) and then connected the device to the USB port of the DVR. The DVR recognized the unit and it has been working ever since. The setup was really easy, and it will also work with the XBOX or pretty much any device that needs access to a wireless network. I have been happy with the device thus far.
