4.0 out of 5 stars Works great, March 18, 2005

As the product discription states, this is extremely easy to set up. It gives a wireless distance over 100 ft, and goes through walls and such. The one thing you need to know is that this is *not a WiFi connection*, and so doesn't work with, e.g., wireless network cards. If you don't have a switch, you will need one because this does not have a pass-through to connect to your computer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Logitech wireless network extender=perfect online gaming, April 6, 2006

This review is from: Xbox Play Link (Electronics)

I have a microsoft wireless G router that is backwards compatible for wired products. I searched all over the place for wireless products that can help my ps2 get online. At first I bought a linksystem wireless G gaming adapter, the company said it was defective, but i believe it jes wasnt compatible with my router. So I got rid of it and started searching for more items online. Thats when I saw the Nyko wireless net extender. It said it can wirelessly be wired to the network with no setup(Only compatible with routers that take wired products), So i bought the item and when i started using it,the product worked, but it kept disconnecting on me after a while when i play games like socom 2, 3, killzone and other online games. I was dealing with this problem with the nyko product for 9 months until i saw the logitech network extender. It works like that nyko product I had. I read the reviews on it, bought it and tried it at home and it worked perfectly when I used it to play online. it was free from disconnections.So I give logitech a big thumbs up and Nyko a big thumbs down. If your lookin for a product to get your ps2 online with no complicated setups then this is the product for you.

Set up was a snap. Connection was established right away. Tested it out on my Mac, my PS2, my roommate's XBox, and his PC. Worked perfectly on each. This product is a great solution for seemingly any device with an ethernet port.
