WGE111
54 Mbps Wireless Game Adapter
Link your game console to a wireless network, eliminating a tangle
of wires
As networking technology continues to evolve, the needs for a wireless network continue to
expand to a wider variety of home applications. A home user may wish to link one or more
gaming consoles to their wireless network to partake in Internet or LAN gaming, but would
like to avoid a tangle of cables spread across their home.
The NETGEAR WGE111 54 Mbps Wireless Game Adapter offers the perfect solution. It can
be attached to a game console’s Ethernet port to link to console to a wireless network for
Internet gaming. For LAN (AdHoc) gaming, two WGE111 or more units can be used to link
two game consoles to each other, without a wireless router even being needed – ideal for
LAN parties. An external switch allows users to easily select between Internet and AdHoc
modes, and the WGE111 is interoperable with 802.11b and 802.11g devices.
Link your game console to a wireless network, avoiding a tangle of unsightly cables in your home.
An external switch allows users to easily select between Internet and LAN gaming options. In the
LAN (AdHoc) environment, a WGE111 can connect a game console to other WGE111 units
without the presence of a wireless network
Small, sleek casing comes equipped with a stand to allow for vertical placement. Compact size
makes carrying to LAN parties and gaming events easy.
