Does not work with any of my wifi products: Ipod touch, psp, or my sisters Nintendo DS or her wii. HUGE hassle

I am pretty tech savvy, as is my boyfriend. We were excited to find this for sale since Nintendo doesn't seem to manufacture their own Wifi USB port for the Wii anymore.

After a ton of effort, we finally got the USB adapter to show up and were able to install the software. After another few hours our Wii started to recognize the port. Did it connect us to the internet/other users on our wii? NO! It continues to just say error. And since it's not an official Nintendo product, there was nothing that Nintendo tech support could help with. I haven't tried to use it for PSP or the IPOD touch, but it didn't work on my Nintendo DS either, so I don't know if we're doing something wrong or if our product is just faulty. Perhaps something is wrong with our firewalls or whatever, but since there is only a basic instruction manual (digital version on included mini CD) and no other way of getting help, we gave up. It is now collecting dust on our desk. We keep saying we'll give it another try, but honestly, it just led to a lot of yelling and frustration in our happy home.

before installing this adapter, make sure you get the driver from the chip manufacturer

the reception is OK, you can choose between Windows utility or its own, while the latter can also has virtual access point mode
however, the virtual access point lacks WPA-PSK setting, that it lacks some security, you may hide the SSID, unplug or switch to Station mode if you don't use it
the virutal AP works with PDA and PSP, able to browse internet, but make sure you point to correct network adapter, or it won't work

I bought this because my router doesn't have a WEP so I was hoping to get my DS to connect with it. It arrived with no disc and no manual. Don't even bother buying it, just shell out the extra money for the nintendo one or change your router settings.

Installation is easy, simply install the driver disc and follow the instructions. It takes only a short while. Kids are happy and very useful for online games.

Used this product to try and get online with PS3, no luck. The network appeared on PS3, but it would always time out trying to connect.

For those of you who can't seem to get it to work go to Mayflash.com and search for the PSP/NDSL Driver and software. I had to do some digging around on google and youtube, but eventually I got to connect to my DS Lite with it!

it says in the product discription you can hook up to 5 ps3s but it wont even read mine

The software for this product does not work at all on my vista computer. the device its-self can be used as a wireless adapter. but dont bother you can find better ones for cheaper. and it does not come with any instructions at all.

This adapter does not do what it advertises. The address given with the shipment does give you the drivers to download and the ZDWLAN utility. The utility is absolutely useless if you have Vista. It is not compatable at all. I went through the windows utlities and got everything set up but this adapter does NOT have the range. It has to be within 3 feet of what ever you want to link to the wireless network. Pay the extra and get a wireless router. Do not buy this. Unless you wish to be frustrated for hours.
