    D-Link DGL-3420 Wireless 108AG Gaming Adapter

    Enlarge

    The smallest adapter we reviewed, the D-Link DGL-3420 Wireless 108AG Gaming Adapter is the only one we saw that supports 802.11a as well as 802.11g. Powered by GameFuel technology, which prioritizes gaming traffic, the adapter was also the only one in our roundup that the Xbox could configure directly. If you want to use it with a PS2, you'll have to configure via PC and Ethernet. The Web-based GUI management tool has a helpful site survey that let us select our wireless network from a list of those detected. We were unable to attach to either of our 802.11b networks (one with WEP and one without), but had no problem connecting to our 802.11g network.

    One annoyance is that the Web GUI requires a username and password to log on; these are only in the PDF manual, which comes on a CD. The setup wizard makes configuration a snap, though, and firmware was easy to upgrade.
