3 out of 5 stars Great Price, Poor Instructions!   January 25, 2008
 5 out of 9 found this review helpful

I am not a network expert, but I know more than the average person as far as computer devices. It still took me about 2-3 hours and multiple installs to get this to work. I don't give up easily, or else I would've thrown it away after the first hour of frustration. The included instructions helps you get started, but not detail enough to help choose the correct settings. It was more or less trial and error. Before it finally worked, it would sometimes lock up my Windows XP. Then it was a matter of Rebooting, uninstalling the driver/software, rebooting, reinstall driver/software, try another combination of settings.

I chose this because I needed a low cost Access Point to connect Nintendo DS units to the web without lowering my Linksys Wireless Router security settings. The DS only connects with low (or no) wireless security. Given the time it took for me to get this to work, you should consider the more expensive Nintendo brand wireless USB device. But if you want a challenge, or naturally have good luck, go for it!

I checked this dood out and it has a lot of lead in it, check the prev reviews, comes from china with lots of heavy metal. Would buy again, thats what my friend Iron Man said, he wants some new Lead Boots.


5 out of 5 stars Works great!   December 31, 2007
It is easier to use and way cheaper then Wifi Max! Xlink works great on this. I haven't get a chance to test it with other game consoles yet but this is really what you need if you intend to play your psp over the net. Get it!


5 out of 5 stars Masterpiece!   October 21, 2007

This I must admit is quality at its best.. For only under 21 dollars (could only be 17 depending on if the 2 day free shipping deal is still there) you get a very nice and useful wifi adaptar with both supported channels of g and b as well as 54mbits data transfer. The signal on it is very decent if not extrodinary and when used with x-link kai, works like a charm. If you want to use it for X-link kai, be advised that you will need to find instructions elsewhere, since the company will not support them directly!

Here is a link to a guide I found that should do the trick: [link removed]
(Before you use this, make sure you have the software for the wifi adapter installed properly with Windows Zero Configuration utility instead of using RaConfig, and enable the X-Link mode under Network Connections (right click Gw mini2 adapter and select properties -> click configure -> click advanced tab -> scroll down to find and enable it.)

This product is introduced on an official site of Xlink. Because they are supporting team xlink.Therefore, a lot of FAQ is open to the public to the Internet by Xlink user's.I think this product is really good for Xlink.
