At last, you can connect your PSP to the internet easily, cheaply and WIRELESSLY! With WiFi MAX, a whole world of online gaming is opened, and you can also manage your files and surf the net from almost anywhere in the house.WiFi MAX for PSP couldn't be simpler to use. Just plug your USB WiFi dongle into your internet-enabled PC to create a Wireless Access Point. You can then connect to the internet and play online-enabled multiplayer games with PSP gamers from all over the world. Just the thing if you don't have a wireless router! Best of all, WiFi MAX supports up to five 'local' PSP gamers at a time, so you and your mates can all play online at once!
As well as multiplayer games, WiFi MAX also lets you organise your media files and download them to your PC using our exclusive MAX Media Server software.

As it operates on the Wireless G standard, it's five times faster than an ordinary WiFi connection, and if you use our USB cable and dongle stand (supplied), you can position your dongle to maximise your effective WiFi range.
If you have other WiFi-enabled devices capable of using the internet, such as laptops or PDAs, you can take them online with WiFi MAX too. It's the ultimate device for internet surfing without a WiFi router!

And to the guy saying "The DS has had this for ages, ive been waiting!" Why, why have you been waiting, wireless access points that cost less! have been around for ages. You make it sound like the PSP hasnt been online all this time.
Do yourselves a favor, get a proper router for the little extra (or less if your in the US). Whats the point if you have to turn your PC on?
Also, if your now saying "but I dont have a network card" get one, they cost 99p on ebay or £2 from ebuyer.com
Ive also seen testimonials from people saying its not so easy to just install and go, you need to do a lot of config and a router is easier to setup (really, they are!)

They WONT!!! unless by some miracle you can get it to work with Xlink Kai.
The games still need to be infrastructure enabled such as Twisted metal, Fifa, NBA etc. Wipeout and the others will still NOT play online with or without this.

The only thing that suckes about it, and thats a big thing: Ur PC gotta be on all the time, If you shut it down, then ur WIFI is also down... That kinda sucks.
Im talking about this on some other forums for 2 weeks now, and one guy bought it. He's still waiting for it to arive, and if he thinks its cool a whole lot of people will also buy it!

First it worked, then it didn't, then it screwed by conenction to my router over, then it worked again but my normal internet conenction didn't, then it didn't work, then I restarted and it... did't work, now it's on and off working...
Why the **** can't it just work! It's not got a hard job!
I think it might have something to do with my router, but it's still being a pain in the arse.
As for the whole 802.11g business. This is an 802.11b/g dongle, so it is compatible with the PSP. The reason why g is involved is it means other peripherals can use it to. So to all those arseholes who believe this doesn't work becuase it;s not b, go sodomize yourselves...
Anyways, I'm going back to try and get this working again!

The PSP supports 802.11b, which has a maximum raw data rate of 11Mbit/s.
This thing will let me use 802.11g, which the PSP doesn't even support?

Dont be stupid, they wouldnt release it if it didnt work with the PSP, theyve obvoiusly tested it....

Yes, the psp will support it, because 802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b which is what the psp only supports.
Meaning, the psp can't use the WiFi max to it's full potential. The answer to this is that the WiFi is meant to be an access point for those who don't already have a wireless router. And because it supports other devices that need a wifi connection to get online (ie: laptop/pda) that MAY support 802.11g, they decided to make it that.

My solution to the problem is either geting a wireless router as you must allready have a router to use cable or T1 or get your neighbour to buy a wireless router
or
Go and find an access point somewhere thats unsecure. Theres millions of them so why not use them. Now with the psp it makes it so easy. This way, you also dont have to have your computer turned on!
