TV, media server, PS3, 360, Xbox. I have gigabit ethernet throughout my house these days though so wherever is fine. That covers 2 PCs, a TV and a printer.

We just drilled holes in the baseboards and ran it under the house. Much less tripping on it and sucking it into the vacuum that way.

Wireless gaming is perfectly fine. It usually depends on your ISP and wireless network (hardware) that dictates whether you have problems or not. Either way, my PS3 and PC’s offer me lag free online gaming and decent download speeds." Wireless gaming is fine until you play a competitive game (such as modern warfare). I don't know how many friends I have recommended wiring up their xbox and hearing them say how much less "wtf"s they are having. It makes a huge difference for fast paced games. “Been wireless gaming since this gen as Robo_1. Wireless gaming is perfectly fine.

It was a complete wast of money. The adapter I think was complete garbage. It did not work very well at all, weak signal and every thing. Now this new adapter is coming out and it. Looks like it has 2 antennas to make up for the weak connection of there old one. I think that this item should be boycotted. The main reason is because of the price tag for it. $100 dollars? come on , were do they get off. Most adapters cost much less for your laptop or PC . People who buy this product should know that they are getting rip off. First off, I got the original adapter for my 360 when I first got it. It was a complete wast of money.
