The Wireless-G ISL Module gives any wired Ethernet-equipped game console
wireless connection capabilities. The Game Adapter can be used in two differ-
ent ways. If you have an existing home wireless network and a cable or DSL
Internet connection, the Game Adapter lets your PlayStation
®
2, Xbox
™
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.
It's completely driver-free, so it works on any platform. Since there’s no driv-
ers to load, setup is a snap. In some cases, it works right out of the box! If your
setup’s a little different—just configure the network settings through your PC’s
web browser, plug it into your game box, and go.
The Wireless-G ISL Module provides lag-free gaming with communication
speeds up to 54Mbps when connected to other Wireless-G devices. It can also
connect to Wireless-B (802.11b) devices and networks at 11Mbps.
