this is the product.... if anyone has experience in general, using a similar product that would hint towards this one working or not working, that'd be sweet too

i havent used it, but i cant see why it wouldnt. all it does is give your gamecube, ps2, or xbox a wireless signal, it will look the signal and then work. now what i dont know is how it will work with base stations with WEP or SSID off.

there have been many reviews and i believe it was plug and play. but they wep and ssid throws me off a little bit.

jello - do a search on google, check the game sites too. they have reviews on how to set them up. also check info on linsys' site.

I dunno, all Linksys routers are "PC only" but work fine with Macs anyway, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

WEP is when you give your base station a password. and what im trying to figure out is how it will work without a password, so maybe you do have to set it up with a pc, not sure.
