 Not Worth the Time or Effort June 15, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I normally have enough knowledge and persistence to get common tech devices to work, but not so on this occasion. You should take the negative reviews seriously regarding poor documentation and the difficulty in finding adequate help online.
There are two common uses for the Planex Mini2. You can (1) plug it into a computer to allow it to connect wirelessly to the internet. Or you can (2) plug it into your computer to allow a gaming device to connect wirelessly to the internet. I was going for the second usage option, as one of my sons has a Nintendo DS and another has a Sony PSP. We already had a wireless router, but neither gaming device works with the highest recommended security settings. Getting this USB adapter was supposed to be our solution. Too bad I couldn't get anywhere with it.
Was the Mini2 defective? Incompatible with something on my WinXP system? Or did I simply use the wrong settings? After wasting part of a Saturday afternoon, I decided it wasn't worth the time and effort to sort it all out. So back to Amazon it goes.

 I need help February 8, 2008

For people wanting to get a wireless connection without security so you can connect your wii or ds to it, this works great. But this is not what I bought this product for. I thought it worked like the Nintendo Wifi Usb Adapter that busted on me. I cant find anything in the manual about wired connection. The nintendo usb adapter takes the wired connection on your computer and turns into wireless signal for your ds and wii. This is not doing what i want it to do. Anyone please help if i'm wrong and i can convert my wired connection into a wireless connection, not just rerouting a wireless connection into another wireless connection.
 A Little Hard To Get Started, But... January 28, 2008

I bought this guy a little over a month ago. It was a little hard to get installed (no.1 the software included with it is out of date :| and no.2 the manual makes it look easy to get going...it wasn't)
BUT! now that I've got it humming, it works like magic. I can take my DSL online w/o an issue. Perfect. Some teething issues, but worth it.
Works Great! January 28, 2008

I ordered this product to play Monster Hunter Freedom and other PSP games online that were unable to do more then ad-hoc in the past. Using the XLink Kai program this will let you play any game that does not have infrastructure with anyone else who uses XLink Kai in the world. As long as the game has some form of Ad-Hoc play, you'll love this product.
Definitely works great, with far less trouble/hassle then the WiFiMax counterpart.
Happy Gaming
