Linksys Announces WGA54AG Wi-Fi Game Adapter

Linksys has announced its new WGA54AG Wireless A/G Game Adapter, allowing popular game consoles wireless connection to the Internet for real-time multi-player gaming. Compatible with 802.11a, b and g compliant devices, the Linksys Wireless A/G Game Adapter works with network ready game consoles, including PlayStation2, Xbox, and GameCube.





The game adapter enables game consoles to connect to a network and play online games without running wires through the house. The Wireless A/G Game Adapter is also designed for Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition so users can wirelessly connect a Media Center Extender-enabled Xbox to a Windows Media Center PC. Now users can enjoy digital entertainment throughout the home.

The Wireless A/G Game Adapter can transmit data using either Wireless-A (802.11a), or Wireless-G (802.11g) or Wireless-B (802.11b). Because of its resistance to interference and its high data rate, Wireless-A can be ideal for applications that demand a consistent signal and high network throughput. The Game Adapter can add wireless capabilities to devices such as a Media Center Extender-enabled Xbox, without worrying about interference or dropped video frames.


The Wireless A/G Game Adapter (WGA54AG) is immediately available through authorized retail, E-commerce and distribution channels at an estimated street price of $129.
