Customer Reviews

Know what your on about...
Ignore the reveiws below, they have no idea what this is. READ THE DESCRIPTION. You don't use it to give your PS3 wifi, it has it built in. This for if you don't have a wireless router in your home. Simply plugging this into a usb port will make you internet connection wireless, allowing your PS3 to connect to it (also works with other wifi products :)

Does exactly what it says on the box
Please ignore the previous review as this really couldnt be simpler to use. Had mine working within 5 minutes,simply install software, plug in wifi key when prompted and away you go. As long as you install software first you really cant go wrong.
I was considering buying a wireless router but saw this and decided to try it out even after reading the other review. Also read reviews for PSP version of this(exactly the same apart from name) and they all 5 star reviews.
Really pleased I bought this, its fast, simple to use and gets you online on your PS3. Couldnt ask for more - buy it.

This is very good.
I agree with the below reviewer, the first line in description - "Turn your PC into a WiFi Access Point" ....oh?

Everyone knows the PS3 has a built in wireless connection. This is a must for all people who want to go wireless but only have ethernet cables.

Why sit 5 metres away from your internet? with the WiFi usb key you can go anywhere in your house to play your PS3.
