 Great idea, poor performance March 7, 2010
KCJoan (Kansas City, MO)
Perhaps it was the location of this device in my home that presented issues, but it never worked. I increased my band width of internet, and tried several changes to our router, but this just wouldn't stream movies for us.
 Cool Wireless Options March 6, 2010
K Star
Linksys by Cisco Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming and Video AdapterThis was a product that my husband recommended(wanted), he's the gotta have it, up to date technology gadget guy. Anyway, this product has great, cool wireless features that is enjoyable for everyone in the family. We even signed up for NetFlix and can now instantly watch movies imported from NetFlix on our tv--this is very great! By, by Red Box! It also has shows and movies that are both entertaining and educational, so it's well worth the money despite my initial hesitation in purchasing it.
 Unconvinced March 4, 2010
Ben Monaghan (Portland, ME USA)
If I were to do it over again, I would spring for the netgear home theater wireless system. This thing is very fickle. I've had to reset and reconfigure it twice because it stopped working. It will not run on my Sony Bravia TV at all, but works on my playstation. Setting it up is not easy. I couldn't get the cd to run properly and had to manually go into the file to access the proper set up program. Because it only has one port, I can't run multiple devices off it. The streaming quality is just OK. My wireless is some distance away and I run Playon's software on my computer (Windows Vista) to stream live content off the internet - hulu, netflix, youtube and numerous other scripts. That is really cool and I suggest checking it out. So in the end, I would seriously give netgear's device a good looking over before I bought this.
Difficult to set up; but extremely versitile when you are done. March 1, 2010

I read the many reviews on the Linksys WET610N wireless bridge on Amazon.com and I realized that it could be quite difficult to configure. I also realized that the "amazingly simple" series of videos would be misleading. Nevertheless, I decided that the product was perfect for what I wanted to do, and I had it delivered overnight.
br /
br /Sure enough, throwing the "simple installation CD" in the garbage was the easiest, and smartest, part of the installation. However, I did configure the WET610N and it is performing admirably in my living room--even attached to a switch with three Internet devices attached. I am truly impressed!
br /
br /The problem is that the "simple installation CD" would have never found the unit on my network. The unit was assigned an IP address by DHCP that was different from the default. Resetting the WET610N would have done no good. In fact, it would have never been found.
br /
br /Now for the good news! Window 7 found it automatically. And, by logging into the firmware of the unit, according to instructions posted elsewhere on this list, I was able to configure the WET610N exactly as I wanted to so it fell within my DHCP range. I assigned it a fixed IP address where I wanted it to be, and it has worked flawlessly. Nevertheless, people who do no know their SSID, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and what *kind* of encryption they have, as well as their security code, on their network may have trouble configuring it manually. From the other posts I was able to figure out what I needed to do, but I would not call it easy.
br /
br /The product is outstanding, nevertheless! I have it running an 8-port switch and I have three other devices plugged into it. I updated the firmware of my TV and receiver through the WET610N connection.
