I reset the IP addresses to 192.168.3.249 & 250. Im using a pair of these as 802.11a(5ghz) bridge between my home and my sons home aross the street(150m). to work on my existing net. These game adapters are working fantasticly as a bridge, intially between our xboxes, extending and merging our networks. I had no problem getting into the adapter using 192.168.1.250, setting my NIC to 192.168.1.1. I have run into slow & locked up transmission but since my son now turns his unit/adapter on/off with his computer and xbox powerstrip we've had few if any more problems. I did call customer support and got some who new nothing.
If you power-cycle the unit, then it works again (most of the time). This product is easy to install and at first I thought it was great. But after a few hours of steady streaming, the 'wireless' light goes off and the connection is dropped. But it just disconnects again after a few more hours.Very frustrating. I would buy a different product.
ive gotten two of them so far on the past 2 years its really hard to get them to work once u chnage any setting on your router i had to return it thank god the store took it back even though i didnt have a receip.
This product is horrible and Linksys tech support is even worse. It's complete with a xerox copy of the quick setup guide and a burnt copy of the setup disc. I work on a tech support help desk with my job and deal with computer problems for a living and this piece of equipment is worthless. The first person could not even spell my name (Ray) let alone assist me with hooking it up. Will never buy Linksys again. I spent over 5 hours on the phone with the next person and still did not get it to work. I spent a month trying to get it to work on my own and finally contacted Linksys. This product is completely worthless in my opinion.
I had to pay shipping to send it back to Linksys and when they sent me another unit, it did not work either. The replacement was a refurbished unit - Thanks a lot, I paid for a new product initially and now I have a refurb. I have a D-Link router that I am trying to connect it to and it simply will not work. This product is not even worthy of 1 star but that is as low as I could go.
I had a box I wanted to use for a Linux install. True, it is a little bit of a technical process to configure your network and security settings, but if that is a problem for you, then you are not likely to be interested in this use of the device anyway. All I had was a USB WiFi adapter and an ethernet socket, with no easy access to a live ethernet port.There is no Linux distibution yet that I know about that can automatically handle the process of configuring USB, and then seeing a network through a USB WiFi adapter. Even Ubuntu, which does a terrific job setting up USB out of the box, could not see and configure my WiFi adapter.This does the trick. (If you are just trying to get your x-box on-line for example, and have anything other than a wide open wireless network, be ready to learn a little tiny bit about TCP/IP networking to get through).I love the fact that I can just plug this thing into any creaky old piece of low-end computing hardware with an ethernet socket, and have network connectivity instantly, and wherever I want to work.
