 Adapter - Dissenting opinion Jun 19, 2010
By Douglas A. Wirth
I read seven out of seven 5-star reviews of this product, and let that guide my purchasing decision. However, I have not been able to get this to work with an hour of troubleshooting. I have tried direct connection to my hub, direct connection to my cable modem, rebooted everything in different sequences, followed the printed directions in the Nintendo Wii manual, and consulted several different online guides. I have a doctorate in engineering and I program industrial process control systems, yet this thing is not yielding to organized systematic troubleshooting. At this point, I still cannot verify whether the device itself is defective, or I am missing some subtle nuance of the setup.
I avoided other models which had Amazon reviews describing behavior similar to what I am experiencing, and other folks occasionally got over it. I'm only reporting that this particular LAN adapter is not immune to the problem. It is not a Nintendo-produced accessory despite the attachment of "Nintendo Wii" to its description. Delivery from the supplier was fine, but that's small consolation at this time.

 Product worked fine with the Wii May 26, 2010
By R. Brazeau
Its nothing amazing to look at, but it works fine for the Wii. Was a snap to hook up and allows Netflix streaming with no pauses or lags which is why I bought it.

Horrible useless piece of junk Dec 03, 2010
By Necromas
Doesn't work, that's all there is to it.
I tried everything, I know what I'm doing, I'm a techie and even have a degree in Computer Science. I took a gamble to save $10 by buying this stupid hunk of plastic and I lost.
When I bought it the average rating was 4 stars. HA! What a load of crap! I didn't even bother actually counting how many of the reviews were bad, there must have been some janky rounding because apparently everyone who got a working one gave it 5/5.
Amazon should pull this from their site. It's not ethical selling something that does not function as advertised as often as the reviews for this thing show.
Will try to get a refund, no way I'm wasting my time with an exchange, will update review with results.
