I have Vista Home Premium and the setup is easy. By following all the instructions, it took me about 10 minutes and we are ready to do a system update on the 40G PS3.

One warning that i got while setting up. The warning was telling me to change my default gateway address to 192.168.1.1 in order to work. Dont worry. Just close the warning sign and find the setup wi-fi application again and retry it. After 3 tries, we eventually got it working without changing the default gateway.

Hope this review helps. Good luck on setting up.

For anyone who has a home network with one or more PCs connected to the Internet remotely by USB adapter -- this PS3 WiFI Key WILL WORK with the remote computers that aren't directly connected (by ethernet cable) to the Internet! Your PC doesn't need to be hard wired to the web. And I get a 100% signal at all times using a D-Link Rangebooster N USB adapter that is two floors down from the main computer.

Setting up the correct network connections on the PS3 is easy and simple directions are provided. I've used this Key both with and without a router and it never fails to work. Somebody mentioned in an earlier review that you are asked to change the IP address of your router. The workaround mentioned does work! This is an amazing little gadget.

I had a little trouble telling windows to let the PS3 WiFi key use my Alltel's WiFI USB card for networking, but once I figured that out, this product has not failed me once. I have my PS3 setup in the living room and my computer setup in my office about 25 feet away and the signal strength stays at a constant 100%. Never any problems or issues.

I'm using Windows 7 so this product didn't come with any documentation on how to get the networking to work, so I cant really take a star off of the rating for that.

It was my inexperience with Windows 7 that caused these issues.

If your looking for a cheap, and effective way to hook your PS3 up to the net without buying a router this is the way to go.

The fact that it works great with a wireless device such as my ALLTEL wifi card is also nice. I was worried that I would of had issues with this but ended up pleasantly relieved.

Effective, simple and worth the low price!

I cant recommend this product enough!

Hello, I live in apartment complex that provides free wifi but my ps3 could never pick up the signal. Its very easy to install and works exactly as it should. I find it amazing how it takes and crappy connection and turns it into your own connection with excellent signal. This also works on the Nintedo Wii and Xbox 360(with adapter). I definitely recommend.

this card doesnt work for my ps3 i try to hook it up and it never works

fast, delivery very good for the value i intall it on my som psp and works great with out cable aroun the house

The manual says it is for the 60-80 GB ps3 with no mention if it will work on the 40. I plugged mine in and was connected in a few minutes. Works great for me.

It installed fine, the setup instructions are very straight forward and provide helpful pictures. But despite my PS3 with built-in wifi being in the next room, my PS3 couldn't pick up the signal (just everyone else's in the area). My guess is for this to work it has to be in the same room, since it doesn't seem to have much range, but if that were the case you might as well just get an ethernet cord.

I installed this device, and although I tried anything I could think of the playstation did not recognize the device which was stations just 2 meters away. My lap-top recognized the device when literally facing this device and reported it as a weak signal.

As far as I can tell this device is a waste of your money

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY 40G PS3.I KNOW IT ONLY SAYS ITS FOR THE 60, BUT READ MY BOX AND IT SAID IT HAD WIFI. SO I BUY THE THRUSTMASTER WIFI LINK FOR 40 DOLLARS SHIPPED TO MY HOUSE. TOTALLY WORTH IT WORKS WAY BETTER THEN A CABLE, I WAS COMPLETLY SHOCK.THE SET UP TOOK ME TEN MINUTES.JUST READ THE WARNING PAPER AND THE INSTRUCTIONS AND THERE SHOULD BE NO PROBLEMS. THE 40,60,80 PS3 ALL HAVE WIFI. SO IF YOUR THINKING ABOUT GETTING THIS PRODUCT FOR EITHER ONE, DO SO AND YOU WONT REGRET IT.
