Would I be able to use this with a computer? I want to use this with my desktop to connect to my wifi; is this possible or is it only for game consoles?

I suppose so. Once this product is setup, you can use it like you would use a normal Ethernet cable; you could plug it into a device's Ethernet port, or plug it into a wired router to use it with multiple devices. Of course, if you use this product to provide internet to several devices at once, it is possible that the internet connection will be slowed.hope this makes sense,Lode

you wouldn't use a router. this item connects wirelessly to your n router. you can then connect a switch (not a hub or router) to it. this item is actually a wireless bridge so it will pass dhcp leases through. i don't know if there's a limit to the number of devices but i have a 12 port switch hooked to it and 5 devices plugged into the switch and am very pleased with the results.

So would I be able to connect this to a wired router and connect mutiple devices to it?

works on anything that has an Ethernet port (the place where your internet cable goes in)

Yeah it will work with a console. I bought it solely for gaming on my xbox 360 although i havent used it on an xbox one yet. (Waiting for it to arrive in the mail)

This is a little late but it may help anyone looking in the future: Wireless isn't the most stable consistent connection. Its great for generic internet but gaming is very demanding. You have the potential to run into hiccups with your connection. I quickly switched from a wireless adapter to this netgear powerline kit. Now the boxes will use the electrical wiring to transmit the signal so if the wiring isn't from one outlet to the other it won't work but it is almost as good as a direct ethernet connection (which is the best option if possible.)

most likely, your desktop doesn't have wi-fi. this would work if you have a USB port. If not, you can get a wi-fi card also.

Mine didn't work with any game consoles. I bought it for my sons room. He has an Xbox 360, play station 3 and Wii and I bought it to keep them all plugged up. None worked; however, it could be that I don't think the actual device worked.

As long as your console supports wireless (b,g,n) it should work, however I would not recommend it. This works well for surfing the web or steaming music & video, but you might see some lag if your trying to use it for gaming. Try to hard wire your console if possible.

I got it for a pc. I would say to look at headsets make specifically for the consoles in question, if they indicate USB, then it will probably work. USB is an internationally standardized protocol for electronics so anything using it should work. Hope that helps

It is an USB wifi N adapter to connect to a wireless router. I just bought one but it isn't good for gaming. It laggs a bit, specially on real time games.

yes. I used it on my old desktop that only had a hook up connection and it worked great. My desktop now has a wireless connection thanks to this. I love it.

Can I connect it with my lap top? I'm just wondering if I can use it with my lap top.

Yes and yes. I used mine to tie my TV downstairs with my main desktop which is upstairs. I am also able to connect my X-Box 360. I have not had any interference issues - it should be noted this operates on a proprietary 5GHz frequency and doesn't interfere with your WiFi signal. I have also not had any reboot issues, though you are range limited - I have used mine at a range of around 20 feet.

I have only ever used it with my pc and ps4. The best advice I can offer for the ps3 is to look at the official support. Hope it helps.http://support.turtlebeach.com/entry/830517337/

yes. You can use it on your desktop. Any device has network interface should be able to use this.

I bought it to connect my desktop on my HDMI TV and it did not work. No signal at all. Maybe works the way you will do. The only thing i can warranty you is that the seller will solve your problem asap if you have issues with it.

RhymeBoy.G, Thanks for your post. I want to connect our satellite receiver, blu ray disk device, and plasma tv to the internet by cat5 cable. We have the following: dsl modem&gt;D-link wifi router&gt;desktop pc&gt;wifi laptops. I was not certain if I could connect the entertainment devices through a switch connected to the wifi router. Now I know this will work! Thanks.

I do know you can plug it into pc and gaming system, but I am not sure if you could add extension. You would need some kind of adapter. The cord is very short.

Sorry I dont have an xbox,so I cant answer with certainty of experience, but if you can plug in a usb flash drive and the xbox will recognize it, this should work no problem. On A PC when you plug it in it does go through an installation routine, it required no user participation, but it didnt just work like it does when one plugs it in now that installed the drivers. So this means the Xbox has to have the ability to integrate new drivers. If it does not have this ability it probably only works with one that THEY make for it. I have an "Xbox 360" USB wifi adapter a friend gave me, I tried it on several PCs but it doesnt work with any of them and the drivers are so elusive I never found them. So they purposefully have that wifi adapter made so it will only work an xbox, and probably vice versa. They may have the same MO when it comes to external drives also. Sorry I couldnt provide a more certain answer. Troy
