MODEL- WGA600N VENDOR- LINKSYS

FEATURES- Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming Adapter
Lag-free head-to-head or Internet gaming, without stringing wires!
The Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming Adapter gives wireless connection
capabilities to any wired Ethernet-equipped game console. The Game
Adapter can be used in several different ways. If you have an
existing home wireless network and a cable or DSL Internet
connection, the Game Adapter lets your Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation2
or 3, or GameCube attach to the network so you can get into online
games without running wires to the game room. Or, use a pair of
Game Adapters to form a "cable-less cable" between two game
consoles for head-to-head gaming -- in the same room, or all the
way across the house. There's also a special "Wireless LAN Party"
mode to connect several consoles at once.
It's completely driver-free, so it works on any platform. Since
there are no drivers to load, setup is a snap. Just configure the
network settings through your PC's web browser, plug it into your
game box, and go. The Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming Adapter provides
lag-free gaming with incredible communication speeds when connected
to a Wireless-N Access Point or Router. It can also connect to
Wireless-A, -B, or -G devices.
Spend your time gaming, not stringing wires, with the Linksys Dual-
Band Wireless-N Gaming Adapter.
Includes Gaming Adapter, CD-ROM with User Guide and Setup Wizard, Quick
installation guide, 2 foot Network cable, Power adapter.
* Lag-free head-to-head or Internet gaming, without stringing wires.
* Converts wired-Ethernet-ready game consoles to Wireless-N network
connectivity.
* Works without drivers on Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2 or 3, and
GameCube.
* Dynamically changes channels and radio bands (2.4 or 5GHz) to find the
fastest connection available.
* Works on any platform -- perfect for wirelessly connecting any Ethernet-
ready device.

Awesome!

"This thing is amazing! I use it upstairs (about 200 feet away from router, and through six walls) Right now its plugged into a wired router.
