Overall Review: I am thinking about buying one of these for my tool kit. Being able to add a system up to four to a network without having hunt for an open sw port s , run cable s across the floor or install a wireless NIC is handy.
Take advantage of the network port any system. NO additional drivers to install or software to configure. Oh yeah I mentioned that already Pros: worked as advertised. Overall Review: Ok, I had this product for nearly 3 weeks and it's been aggravating me because I couldn't get the darn internet connected to my computer I use an Apple Mac mini. I just figured out how to get a wireless connection today; there was a direction that i missed that I just found out.
When you go to configure the device, you need to manually enter a static I. So you then go into the browser to do the settings by typing in 1. In the manual it says after you are done, you can just replug it somewhere else in the house and it would just works.
Then are you able to connect to the internet. If you don't change back to automatic, it just won't work. Pros: -No set up, just plugged in the power and it connected itself instantly to my unsecured wireless router. Overall Review: It am sure it will require the input of the security code to access a secured wireless network, so there will be that much af a set up.
I am using this with XBMC and it is flawless. I tried a similar Linksys product more expensive and only 1 port but it required a computer to set it up and it was not reliable. I could not be happier.
Pros: If your wireless network like dsl router is setup for it, then it works out of the box by pressin the side button.
Has initial 1. Imagine if I bought another antenna? I am about 50 feet and an entire apartment away from our DSL router.

I was not able to connect to the box with my web browser going to 1. Overall Review: I wish they advertised "Ethernet to wireless" converters on main pages.
Took me a long time to locate it in the online shop because of it's unique category. I highly recommend this for connecting to a wireless network with a normal 10baset NIC.
Pros: Set it, forget it. I've had mine running for over 2 months in bridge mode in a remote location. Has never locked up or needed any fiddling. Hooked up to a video server for periodic video monitoring. Pushing 18fps at x video with audio through the Buffalo without a hiccup.
Cons: None, except a better manual in their PDF explaining why certain bridge settings like inheriting your Ethernet device's MAC address is a good thing or a bad thing. If you are not network savvy, this product will take some understanding to get configured properly IF being used as a addressable bridge. Overall Review: If you are not forwarding any ports to your Ethernet device on the Buffalo as in the case of a web-server running in a video server device , you can use the 4 ports to wirelessly connect 4 devices.
If you need to forward ports, then you really can only have 1 Ethernet address publicized to your WAP since you will need to set the Buffalo in bridge mode and have it use the MAC address from your 1st wired device. This allows the ARP table to properly forward packets to the Buffalo where your wired device is hanging off of.
Pros: This adapter functions very well. A huge plus is the fact that is has 4 ports on it allowing for multiple connections.
