Has anybody used this as a bridge? instead of as a gaming adapter?
TigerDirect made it sound like it can be used as a bridge--I ordered 2 to
connect an HDTV and a color laser to my wifi network. I can't get anything
to happen when setting it up, not even in Infrastructure mode. Tech support
after about a half hour finally said I need to buy a wep54g I believe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

I am not familiar with the needs of your HDTV.

However, Game adapters (WGA11b is a previous generation game adapter) are
Wireless Client cards that do not need drivers, and can work with Wireless
Ethernet compatible devices. I.e. it can work with other devices that are
not Games Boxes.
