Digital camera reviews of Cisco-Linksys WET11 Wireless Ethernet Bridge
Digital camera Review: Excellent for ReplayTV or Tivo
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this to connect my ReplayTV to my broadband DSL. It works great for that, and so I wanted to make sure anyone who had a broadband enables Replay TV or TIVO knew this thing would work with it. Thanks!Digital camera Review: Excellent solution to share fast connection!
Summary: 4 Stars
We have a fast connection and there was no way I was going to get away with having that while the other computers in the house had to dial up. Enter a wireless router and this little wireless bridge. If you know what you're doing you'll have it cranking in a minute or two.. Easy as pie and as fast as if the computer was connected directly to the cable modem. Add a cheap little hub and you can plug in more computers to it.Have fun!
Digital camera Review: Excellent wireless bridge between 802.11b WiFi and Ethernet
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very impressed by the WET11. It is essentially an ethernet to wireless adapter that Just Works. It is unlike bridges, including the Linksys WAP11 v2.2, in that it looks like a regular wireless client to your existing wireless network. So you can use it with *any* 802.11b (WiFi) base station without having to configure that base station in a special mode to do bridging. The Linksys WAP11, by contrast, can only bridge with other WAP11s.In my network, the WAP11 is a client on my Apple Airport (Graphite) wireless network. I configured the WAP11, hooked it up to my remote ethernet device, and it all worked flawlessly.
The WAP11 is surprisingly small - a bit larger than a pack of cards. The power cord transformer (wall wart) is also small. It doesn't cover up multiple outlets on a power strip like most electronic devices.
At its current one hundred and five amount I recommend it highly.
The WAP11 comes with an ethernet port (of course) with a crossover switch. The crossover switch means you can plug directly into another ethernet device (a PC, XBox, or whatever) without using a hub. Very nice touch.

Digital camera Review: FOR THE XBOX!?!
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been at it for 16 hour strait now trying this Linksys WET11 to work with my XBOX and followed the instructions from the Linksys site too! Sometimes it connects through to my Linksys Wireless Access Point Router w/4 point switch BEFWS4, but most of time . . . forget about it! I'm gonna just run the CAT5 cable around the outside of my house to the den, now.Digital camera Review: Finally! A solution that is not proprietary
Summary: 5 Stars
I've installed many wireless bridges using the Linksys WAP11, but this product (WET11) allows bridging with any manufacturers access point. Performance seems to be good so far, but the Web utility is a little rough.
