Advantages: Easy to setup.

Disadvantages: Might lose a social life

This is the perfect addition to your gaming setup if you want to get online. I was constantly fiddling with a attempted bridging connection until I bought this.

Once out of the box, the setup can either be performed via the accompanied CD or through the adapters interface which I found much easier due to the fact that the CD doesn't work with Vista. The setup was quick and simple as I followed the setup guide that was on the Belkin website. The setup for me took about 30 minutes but should be much quicker as I forgot to enter the encryption key to enable the connection.

After the setup, I have not had any problems with Xbox Live. Instantly connects to live with an open NAT and feels smoother than I have ever played with a bridged connection.

The adapter can be powered either with the 2 USB connections or through a power adapter if you want to use the USB ports for other uses, such as Rock Band or streaming music.

The adapter comes with a Ethernet cable, power cable, USB lead and a power adapter as the power cable is American although the power adapter was supplied from the sender and not Belkin themselves.

I would recommend this for anyone who wants a wireless gaming experience or even just to make a wireless connection.

Summary: A great product to connect your gaming console to the internet.
