Digital camera reviews of D-Link Wireless 108AG Gaming Adapter
Digital camera Review: Nice Signal Range and No Lag!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm pleased to report that this wireless adapter, when coupled with the same product line (DGL-4300) wireless router, works great and has a good range for a strong signal. I was a little hesitent on the price of this adapter since I just bought a somewhat pricy, but well worth it, gaming router (DGL-4300) from D-Link, but after setting it all up, I was pleasently surprised. I was surprised at how easy this adapter was to setup, and how I can configure everything from within the xbox itself. No PC needed.
Our Xbox is in a completely different part of the house than the wireless router, but we still get a strong enough signal to get zero lag when playing online. Well, as zero lag as we were getting when we were wired to the router anyways.
Bottom Line: Highly recommended to all Xbox Live players that have wireless capabilities.
Digital camera Review: Not bad but Amazon price is too much for an xbox 1 adapter
Summary: 4 Stars
Have one connected to my xbox 360.Like the previous review said setup is buggy.The latest firmware update seems to have fixed autoconnect problem i had with xbox live.It now connects as quiclky as my 360 turns on.Don't see any real disadvantage over using a network cable.Streaming video and audio are almost instant even with higher res.
It was designed for the Xbox 1,i have a hard time seeing anyone paying more than $50 for it.
It will work right out of the box but to get it to work well you'll need to set it up for your system.If your not a pc wiz i would go with the OEM Xbox 360 adapter.
Overall i am happy with it.It is a workhorse.
Digital camera Review: Only for those with D-Link routers
Summary: 2 Stars
If your router is not by D-Link, and particularly if you use WPA encryption with that router, do not purchase the DGL-3420. I have tested it with both the Linksys WRT54G and the SMC 2804WMBP-G, and WPA fails with both of them. D-Link technical support, in fact, has confirmed that THEY know the adapter doesn't work using WPA with the WRT54G.
Besides, for significantly less money you can get a wireless bridge with a lot more functionality. After this product failed for me, I purchased the Netgear WGPS606, which can connect FOUR items (X-Box, computer, whatever) to your wireless network AND two wireless print servers, all for $20 less (on Amazon).
Digital camera Review: Pain to get working, but works well.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought one of these almost two years ago to use with my Tivo since I didn't want to run an ethernet cable clear across the house (and wanted to unlock all the extra Tivo features that comes from having it on my network). At first, this thing was very difficult to get configured on my computer... but once it's set up for your network, you can plug it into anything to get online wirelessly. I recently purchased a second one of these to use with a Samsung P1600 Blu-ray player, as it was $40 cheaper than Samsung's own proprietary adapter. So far, it's working great.Digital camera Review: Plug & Play
Summary: 4 Stars
I wasn't expecting the ease of installation I ended up having for this product. I have a D-Link router and don't know if that had anything to do with how quickly I got everything set up but all I did was plug this into my XBOX-360 and bam, that was it. XBOX picked it up right away and I picked my network. The adapter is pretty small too.
As far as lag and gameplay, I'm not sure yet if it's because of my internet connection or this adapter OR my main router, but on occasion (not too often), I get disconnected from a game. That is pretty annoying and only because of that, I gave this adapter a 4 star. I need to try setting a direct line to the main router and see if there is a difference. The lag isn't bad as far as I can tell, but again, i'd have to do a direct line test and compare. If I do, I'll update this review.
I chose to get this rather than the one sold specifically for the XBOX because I felt I could do more with this. The other one, you have to be sure you have a USB connection, this one you can use for just about anything with a ethernet cable output. I would recommend buying this product.
