 It Works Good August 12, 2008
Its a good product if you have a 2 story house and you dont want a long wire all over the place. Sometimes my Xbox 360 cant read the IP Adress but i just hit the restore to faculity settings and it works again
Works well for online console gaming July 8, 2008
I've been using this to play Halo 2 and 3 online for the last few years. It's reliable and it works great; I rarely experience lag and only occasionally (once a week, maybe) have to reset it by unplugging it for 20-30 seconds. Simple setup and a low-profile design make it easy and unobtrusive. The only drawback is that it doesn't match the speed of my Wireless N router, so I don't get as fast a datastream to the Xbox as I possibly could.
 bad job staying connected April 22, 2006
I bought this product 9 months ago and used it to go online with my ps2. It connected but it kept on losing the connection everytime i play games like socom 2,socom 3, killzone, and other ps2 online games. I bought the logitech network extender and used that to get online. This product was similar to the nyko product. It worked well and it was free from losing connections. If your planing on playing online with easy hook ups then I would recommend the logitech network extender intstead of this product.
GUIDE FOR USING THIS FOR 2 PCs.... March 2, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have to say first that I am quite please with this product (I bought it on some site for only $80). I have no clue how well this works with everything else, but using it to connect 2 computers in different rooms works great. It DOES however, take a little technical know-how to get it working correctly (in the way I happened to be using it), so to save people some trouble, here's a quick guide on how to link up 2 PCs together with the Net Extenders....
1. On the BASE unit, make sure the switch is flipped to "game console" or whatever instead of the computer side (this will shut off the wireless capabilities). Now here is where it gets technical.... You need 2 DIFFERENT KINDS OF ETHERNET CABLES TO MAKE THIS WORK.... A STRAIGHT-THROUGH (this is included it the package, so your covered on this side) and a CROSS-OVER cable.
Now here is something you must understand in order to get the cabling right. If you look at the color of the wires inside of the head of the cable (with the tab facing away from you) you should see the following color pattern for the STRAIGHT-THROUGH....
Orange/White, Orange, ect, ect. (the color/color indicates a wire that has 2 colors, but the white part is usually the only one visible). I left out the rest of the pattern to make it simpler, all you really need to remember is that the first pair of wires are going to include ORANGE.
A CROSS-OVER, however, has one side just like a STRAIGHT-THROUGH (Orange/White, Orange) and another pattern on the other side that begins with Green/White, Green.
2. Ok, you must have one side of your connection use a STRAIGHT-THROUGHT (you don't need to do anything special, just plug it in) and the other side needs to have the CROSS-OVER, but here's the MOST IMPORTANT PART: you MUST plug the Orange/White - Orange side to the Net-Extender, and the Green/White - Green to the computer (I would explain why, but it's a bit confusing so just nevermind why).
3. VIOLA! You now have a working connection between the two computers! Now about setting up the network.... you can find out about that somewhere else, I'm not here to tell you the ABSOLUTE BASICS.... even someone who knows how to set up a network could find this useful. So there you go, I just saved you about 2-3 1/2 hours of trouble-shooting and frustration.
Have fun!
Oh, but a side note: Using this for anything but gaming is NOT reccommended. If you try and transfer even MODERATELY sized files over a network using these, it will take WELL OVER 2 hours to transfer (that's for a 600-700mb file). Just use these for GAMING, NOT for setting up a complex network or ANY network where you need to send stuff back and forth.
 Died once a month February 11, 2005

My Nyko Net Extender died once a month. After replacing it twice, I am now in the market for another method of gaming online. I called Nyko's tech support and was told that they were continually upgrading the software because it was having compatibility problems with the PS2. I don't know how this works on the X-Box, but if you've got a PS2, look somewhere else for your networking solution.
