Buying guides

An introduction guide to networking can be found here

  • Turns a wired network device into a wireless device
  • Connects to any existing 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi access point, gateway or router
  • Push ‘N’ Connect using Wi-Fi Protected Setup® for easy installation
  • Dynamic LEDs display real-time network connection status
  • Wi-Fi Protected Access® (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK) and WEP
  • One (1) Ethernet port to connect to home A/V devices

Connects any device with a network port to existing Home Wireless Network. Great for - HDTVs, game consoles, Blu-ray players, DVR's and more. If connected to a device with an in-built 10/100 LAN port, then this will restrict the adaptor to a maximum operating speed of 100Mbps. However, if it is connected to a Gigabit (often referred to as 10/100/1000) LAN port, the adaptor is capable of operating at a maximum wireless speed of 300Mbps, dependant on the wireless signal strength. This makes the product ideal for streaming multimedia in a high-speed home or commercial wireless network, or for enhancing the speed of data transfer between your games console that is pre-fitted with an older 54g (54Mbps) wireless chipset (such as a Playstation 3) and your N300 or N150 router.

Customer Reviews for Netgear Universal Wi-Fi Adaptor

Sort by:

Great little bit of kit, especially for the price. Got one of these as my powerline network wasn't running as fast as I would have liked. Hooked up to my wireless network easily (running a draytek 2820vn router) and plugged it into the 6 port switch that had been connected to the powerline network. Getting connection speeds of 250-300Mbps, so pretty much top wireless-N speed. That's one room across, and one floor down from the router location.

The only thing I did find was that having the router set up to allocate fixed IP addresses to the clients connected to the bridge via the switch caused DNS problems so no internet. Removing the fixed IP for those clients seems to have resolved this, with only fixed IP for the actual netgear bridge. Now all working perfectly, so much so I got a second one for sky antyime+ upstairs, and to give better connection speeds than the wireless G inbuilt in the PS3.

Couldn't be any easier to set up. Had it configured in 10 minutes and plugged into my music server and working in 15 minutes. Fantastic for streaming music around the house to older non-wireless AV kit.

I have a HUMAX FOXSAT HDR and use the WIFI ADAPTOR to successfully provide a WEB connection for IPLAYER. The instructions are straight forward with or without the WPS function. The unit is small, neat and tidy and appears to be well made. Although the USB power supply is a nice solution, I found it more reliable, for this application to use the alternative power adaptor. It would appear that the ADAPTOR needs to boot first for the HDR to always recognise the ETHERNET connection when it boots.
