    Hi,
    I have just got a wirless BB signal through my house now and was looking into wireless adapters for xbox and PS2 consoles. I have come across two in particular but on the same website there is a €20 difference and the cheaper of the two will be available soon (as opposed to being ordered especially) but i dont see any difference. Could anyone that would know give me some pros and cons of one or the other (or if you think there may be a better one out there to consider) couls you elet me know? Ill post the links to both below.

    I have the WET11 which i have attached to my PC (I don't have a games console). Works well, dead easy to set up. Just attach to the PC, run the CD and then configure it with your wireless network details.

    The difference between the WET11 and the WGA54G is that it is limited to 11Mbps speed while the WGA54G is capable of connecting at 54Mbps.

    And thats the only difference? Well seeing as the best BB speeds at the moment are 2 or 3 MB/s that doesnt really affect us? It obviously has to recieve that strength signal to be any different ya? And i dont imagine BB speeds pushing 11MB in the next few years. Thanka alot for the advice man

    personally I'd buy the 56g one as its the newer of the two so will prob be supported (firmware,drivers etc) longer. Plus you'll be future proofing.

    But if money is tight then the WET11 will work fine as you say.
