5.0 out of 5 stars Just for Gaming?, 19 May 2007
Don't let the name throw you; Belkin's Wireless G Gaming Adapter is a sound and reliable bridge, by all means this isn't just for your gaming consoles.

Assuming most users will have some degree of security on their networks initially the bridge will need configuring with your network settings; this can be done with the supplied software disc or, in my opinion, much more easily using the bridge's internal interface (initially accessed at "192.168.2.225"). Either way - to configure it you will need to use your computer.

Connect up the bridge to an Ethernet (LAN) port on your computer ensuring that either you or the DHCP sets the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) of the connection to a suitable address subnet to access the bridge - the initial IP of the F5D7330 is '192.168.2.225' (so the IP address of the connection should be set as '192.168.2.xx' where "xx" is any number between 1 and 255 (with the exception of 225), subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and the gateway as 192.168.2.225). Then with either the software disc supplied or the internal interface set the appropriate network settings. Don't forget if your using MAC filtering to allow the MAC of the bridge (found on the back under "WLAN/LAN MAC Address") plus any of the devices you connect to it to associate with your router. Use the MAC address of the device connected to the bridge (NOT the bridge MAC) if you are setting static IP rules.

Belkin has some detailed support material that can be accessed from their US support site which can be useful if your having some problems (search for 'F5D7330'). When all of the configuring is done the Wireless G Gaming Adapter saves these settings internally to connect to the network in the future when required.

Truly a quality product from Belkin. Came shipped with firmware version F5D7330_2.0.0.2 out of the box (MAY 07) meaning we had compatibility with WPA2 networks from the word go. Those with older versions of the bridge (those beginning with "ver. 1..." or "ver. 20...") can download the 1.00.09 firmware release (which you can find from their UK support site) to add compatibility for WPA/WPA2 networks. So far not had a single disconnect yet, the speed and range of the thing is excellent (comes with one detachable antenna - unlike the picture shown to date), we've used it to connect our PC's and PlayStation 2 consoles without any problems, it can also be used with Xbox/360 consoles too. Superb buy, cannot recommend it more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic piece of kit, 10 Jan 2008
By Desmond (London, England) - See all my reviews
I was worried that this product would make my XBox Live connection slow and lag, but it works fine with a 54Mbps router. There are a few moments occasionally (about once every hour) when the game lags behind a bit, but its nothing too disruptive, and it depends on how good your router is.

People have been saying you have to download extra firmware if you want WPA or WPA 2 support for your network, but it seems this problem has been fixed, as all I had to do was load the CD and follow a few steps on the PC, plug it into the XBox and I was off. I didnt need to configure the router on the XBox dashboard, it was all done on the PC.

The adapter can be powered by either two USB ports (the ones in the XBox work fine) or a power adapter. It also fits in with the colour scheme of the XBox 360, so it is not much of an eyesore.

All in all, a great product, just as good if not better than the official XBox 360 adapter at a lower price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Well done Belkin!, 6 Jan 2008
I have had this router for a few days now and I honestly can't fault it. I purchased this for my XBOX 360 and was initially unsure if I had made the right choice as many of the reviews I read were not favourable. However once I had set it up all my fears disappeared as I was amazed at how easy it was to set up. Literally 5mins after unpacking it was ready to go. I was already using a secured dlink wireless router with my PC, laptop and psp and the Belkin router works fine with it. I did have to use the installation CD it came with but this was very, very easy to do; if I didn't have a password protected connection then it was simply a matter of pressing the button on the back of the router and connection was instant!
I have been on XBOX live for the last 12 or so hours playing Halo 3 and I have experienced no problems whatsoever. This is truly a good piece of kit and at £34.99 (the price I paid) it is well worth the money compared to the overpriced offical XBOX 360 version. Also as an added bonus it's the same colour as the XBOX 360 which is great, they were made for each other!

Overall this is a great product which I would highly recommend!!
