Product Overvew
Thank you for choosing the Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming
Adapter. The Adapter gives wireless connection capabilities
to any wired Ethernet-equipped game console. The Game
Adapter can be used in several different ways. If you have
an existing home wireless network and a cable or DSL
Internet connection, the Game Adapter lets your Xbox®,
Xbox 360, PlayStation®2 or 3, or GameCube™ attach to the
network so you can get into online games without running
wires to the game room. Or, use a pair of Game Adapters
to form a "cable-less cable" between two game consoles
for head-to-head gaming – in the same room, or all the
way across the house. There's also a special "Wireless LAN
Party" mode to connect several consoles at once.
