Great for use with Directv HD-DVR
I purchased the WGA600N to connect my Directv HR21 to my network so I could use the online DVR scheduler and access Directv on demand. Setup was a breeze and it only took minutes. It flawlessly connected to my D-link -4500 wireless router with WPA security using the setup disk and I my HR21 HD-DVR Receiver was online in no time. I would recommend a little research to see if there are any compatibility issues this might have with your particular router but as far as the D-Link 4500 router goes t...

Good for streaming HD content
First - the product is a bit hard to configure if you do not have a compatible Linksys N router. The CDROM that comes with the WGA600N can only configure it if you have a compatible Linksys router. I have a Apple Airport Extreme N router and had to spend a little time googling to discover that the Reset button on the WGA600N puts it on 192.168.1.250 IP address and that I had to enable static IP in the same subnet on my desktop's interface in order to be able to go to the Web GUI at http://192.16...

Great alternative for XBOX 360 wireless
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I was able to set this adapter up easily and quickly with no issues whatsoever. It works perfectly with my XBOX 360 and is much much faster than the XBOX brand wireless G adapter. I am using WPA2 (TKIP and AES) mode on my router and everything is running smoothly with no connection issues. A great product.

Important for DirecTV subscribers!
I just wasted an hour trying to set this up through my PC while getting error message after error message.
If you're trying to hook this up to your DirecTV box (HR-21) to get on-demand content, you DO NOT have to set up the adapter through a pc.
Simply connect the device to your HR-21's network port, plug it in, and click DirecTV's menu button. Go to "Set-up," then down to "Network." Answer the questions, and in less than a minute, you should be up and running.

WGA600N and DirecTV
I setup the Linksys WGA600N Wireless Game Adapter with my DirecTV HR20 receiver to download VOD. Initially, I had difficulty getting my PC to connect to the adapter (device not found errors). After calling tech support, it was due to my having a non-standard network setup. I do not use the IP address range of 192.168.1.x. As a result, I removed my PC off the network and gave it a static IP address in the 192.168.1 range. I was then able to connect to the device through a web browser (connec...

Advanced configuration directions
I have this product connected to my directv hd receiver to download VOD content. If the installation software is not able to detect the device during the installation process, then follow these steps (I had to perform these steps when I called Linksys for assistance. I wish they had just documented the steps instead):
1. Quit out of the installation software (keep the adapter connected to your pc)
2. Assign a static IP to your pc (if you do not know how to do this, then cal...

For highest speeds make sure you use WPA (not WEP) security
I use SageTV software to transmit television and video throughout my house. When I upgraded to HDTV signals, my existing Powerline adapters couldn't handle the bandwidth, so I decided to try this device.
At first I couldn't get the device to use 802.11n, which limited me to wireless-g speeds. This isn't adequate for HD video streams. Then I found out that WEP security isn't in the draft-n standard, so if you use a WEP password on your network, the device reverts to wireless-g. I c...

No Mac OSX support, but does work with XBox 360
Once this is configured, it works as advertised. Excellent network performance (no drops, high performance even over a secure connection). However, for Mac OS X owners you will have to connect to IP address 192.168.1.250 and configure through your web browser. I found that out contacting their tech support, as no docs actually tell you how to do web configuration.

Linksys WGA600N
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) Linksys has always been reliable for me and there products do what they say.
Good: Fast, reliable connection to my Xbox 360. I use it mostly to stream music and it's great. Haven't really tested it's Xbox Live capabilities, but will add it when I do.
Bad: Linksys forcing you to use their software. It came with software and no other manuals. Easy enough to get...

avoid for now
I purchased this from another seller in early February 2008. Despite a simple set of instructions in the box it was very difficult to get my Windows Vista machine just to connect to the device. Once connected I could not get the WGA600N to connect to mywireless LAN unless I turned off all security features WEP WPA. I worked very hard with Linksys support to come up with a workaround. After several hours the Linksys support technician said we had exhausted all options. In his words the fact that ...
