Think Twice,
This review is from: Linksys Wireless Media Adapter (Win XP compatible only) (Electronics)
This hardware is quite OK, but the software and drivers could best be described as experimental.I have been working in the computer industry as a software engineer since 1987, so I think I have accumulated some knowledge over the years..., but the WMA11B - Wireless-B Media Adapter has turned out to be one of the most annoying challenges I have ever stumbled across. If you get it up and running, do not reboot your computer, do not ad more MP3 or WMA files to the catalogs on your hard drive that the adapter can view. The software provided with the adapter is unstable, does not give you any clue about why it suddenly refuses to give the adapter access to your music, etc., etc. The total lack of even cryptic error messages and log files coupled with Linksys' "support" puts this device in the "Not recommended" category. Until Linksys publishes new drivers (current version is from September 2003) or have someone at their support line who have actually seen the product, think twice.

Nice Idea: Good For A First Try but Needs Finishing!,
By Nigel Cooper (Claverham, North Somerset UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Linksys Wireless Media Adapter (Win XP compatible only) (Electronics)
The install is flaky as hell and refused to recognise my WiFi network, it had to be configured on ethernet. It consistently fails to pick up the WiFi (all my other kit justs works straight away). Once working (average 4 or 5 power cycles) it does pick up all the songs and can play them, similarly pictures.The user interface on the TV is childishly basic and there is no search facility (a real pain in the proverbials if you have 21,000 tracks and you can only page down....not too quickly, or it freezes and needs a re-boot.)Neither can you create a temporary playlist so you are stuck with either playing a single track, a whole album, all an artists work, a pre set playlist or a complete genre. Another big pain is that it cannot see anything that is not on the PC with the software, no network drives! Frankly I believe this should have been the pre-production model. Having said all this I am happy to have the facility of playing music from MP3 source direct to a decent HiFi. LINKSYS GET YOUR FINGER OUT AND SORT THE SOFTWARE AND INTERFACE!

Worth Every Penny!,
This review is from: Linksys Wireless Media Adapter (Win XP compatible only) (Electronics)
I didn't buy this from Amazon, and wasn't aware of the 'Windows XP only' warning until it arrived! Don't worry though - it installed fine and operates perfectly on Win 2000 straight from the box. You just have to connect it directly to your pc/lan and follow the instructions for non XP set-up before you can go wireless.It's dead easy to operate from the on-TV menu's and sounds great running through the home theatre system. Dig. photo's are better quality than when viewed on the tv directy from my Nikon camera, and every picture on the pc is readily accessible. (Worth tidying up your folders first to save paging through screens of thumbnails). My wife is actually impressed for once! My only small criticisms are the annoying, big, cheap led's on the front (one of which flickers furiously with network activity) and the lack of a screensaver for when playing music. I am not keen on displaying a predominantley static image on my prized widescreen - ok you can turn the tv off and still have music, but then you can't navigate or see the track info.
