WiFiMAX

WiFiMax is a wireless broadband technology developed by the French company NOMOTECH.
Overview
WiFi Max from Datel is a USB WiFi adapter for Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii, ds or PSP.
It is able to connect any WiFi-enabled devices as well such as laptop or PDA.
It works using the standard 802.11g (54Mb) and so is compatible with 802.11b (11Mb) devices. It can be used on 1.1 USB port but the bandwidth is limited at 11Mb if you do so.
There is software included on the disc allowing you to browse files wirelessly from your PC.
Installation
WiFi Max is pretty straightforward to install, but there are a few things to set up which are not explained in the manual, which seems to assume that the user already has a network running. So if you haven't got a network already set up, you will need to use Windows to create a shared internet connection, as well as create a network. All you have to do is to go into your control panel, and look under network and internet connection, Windows XP is pretty self-explanatory.
Another important thing is to be sure to select the right network adapter connecting to the internet in the WiFi Max interface.
If you want to use it with both DS and PSP, don't forget to give the same SSID to everything you installed on your pc because if your use all the default settings, it gives a different SSID depending on whether you installed the software for PSP or DS.
One last thing is that if you are using a firewall it might stop your WiFi devices from connecting to the internet. So you either need to forward ports or turn off your firewall.
