This review is from : ASUS WL-330gE_M Wireless Bridge Kit
Bad set up; good device after setup . The Asus wireless bridge arrives with no setup guide or instructions; the theory is that it is fully plug-and-play with no instructions needed. What you will find in the shipping box are: two device boxes, marked simply 1 and 2; two ethernet cables; one power adapter to plug into the electric supply and one of the two boxes (both boxes appear identical except for their numbers); and one USB power cord to plug into a USB port on a computer, Blue-ray player or other device to be connected to the wireless network. That's it. Good luck. I didn't find a setup guide on the Asus web site, but it might have been there somewhere.
I assumed that box no. 1 should be connected to the cable modem or router (using one of the two ethernet cables) and to the power adaptor. I did see three blue lights come on (power, ethernet, wireless) which looked promising. I went to my Blue-ray player (an Oppo BDP-83) and used the other ethernet cable for box no. 2. No lights; no good wireless connection. So I tried the USB power connector. For some reason, this didn't work at this time, but later I learned that this was the correct step.
I read customer reviews here and on another vendor's site for the Asus. On the Asus site I found diddly squat. Someone (incorrectly) said that the power adaptor needs to be on the receiving box (no. 2). So I moved my power adaptor from no. 1 (which now lost all its nice blue lights) to no. 2 (which now got the blue lights). Testing the connection on my Oppo showed no connection. So I did some troubleshooting by moving the ethernet connection over from box no. 2 to my laptop computer, which couldn't get an internet connection either.
So, fortunately, I went to Oppo's own website. It did have the Asus setup guide, which is very, very simple: The power adaptor goes with box no. 1, which is connected to the electric source and (by ethernet) to your router or modem. The USB power cord is connected from a USB port on the back of the Oppo into box no. 2. The second ethernet connection goes between box no. 2 and an ethernet connection on the Oppo. Presto. Done. The connection works. Both box no. 1 and box no. 2 have pretty blue lights (three each).
Asus' failure to provide this simple setup guide in the shipping box is inexcusable. What should have taken less than five minutes took me a couple of hours of fooling around. Once you get it up and running, it works simply and great. So: 1 star for setup. 5 stars for performance (and being simple little boxes that won't clutter up your system or work area). Average: 3 stars.

ASUS WL-330gE_M Wireless Bridge Kit Reviews
it works fine . It just saved me the cost of having my electrician run a cable from my router (on one floor) to the blu ray player (in the basement on the opposite side of the house). I plugged in the bridge, about 30 minutes later the two parts were talking, the network ID'd and I had network linkage. I was then able to update my Sony Blu Ray player's software. The whole process was fast and easy. I am impressed -- no codes, no calls to tech support; I didn't pull out any hair or swear. I just plugged it in and it worked -- amazing for a computer device. It is also small, sleek and stylish.

ASUS WL-330gE_M Wireless Bridge Kit Opinions
Impressed . I was surprised at how small they were when I opened the box. I was expecting 2 units the size of a router. They are a little smaller than a deck of cards.
They come in a white box. No instructions.
Setup: Easy. Just plug in and go. Comes with 2 patch cables, 1 AC-DC transformer and 1 USB cable (for power.) It was nice that they are wall mountable.
Seat of the pants testing shows that it is running quicker than my laptop's normal wireless link.
My router shows 1 of the units as a wired connection, and shows my laptop as a wired connection.
I was impressed with it, I was expecting to have to fiddle with it for a good while.
The only thing that is disconcerting is that I can't find much about it on the internet.

Works great . I'm convinced it's magic. After fiddling with another wireless bridge for over 3 hours, I returned it and bought these. No setup-- even my father could install these.
Easy to deply works like a champ. I have four running at the same time with no issues. Way better than wiring my house!!! . This product is so simple to deploy and took no time to install. I originally ordered one and like it so much I ordered three more. Every room in my house has one and no wires were necessary. I would highly recommend this product. It was worth every penny. I love this item.
good idea with limitations . packaging of this item is very simple: just a plain white cardboard box. not even a manual explaining how it works.
i got this as my solution for getting a blu-ray player that requires wired ethernet connection online: plug #1 to a router and power source, and #2 to the blu-ray player's ethernet and usb port (for power), and it's done. no setup required. the process is extremely easy. the down side is the network box takes up the only usb port on my blu-ray player, and this only works one to one - any other players that require wired network access would have to get their own bridge kits.

Works like a charm . Folks
This one is clearly a winner. It took me 5 minutes literally set this up to experience BDLive. I suggest this for any one looking for an affordable solution and its small in size as well.

It works fine. . It was easy to install and works well. No problems other than the fact that the price was a little too high for what it is and what it does.
Works out of the box has different power adapters . There are two devices, one is Tx, one is Rx. They have two different power adapters, the Tx one plugs into an electrical outlet, and the Rx is USB (at least that's how you're instructed to do it on the diagram on the back of the box). I found that the power adapters are interchangeable between the Tx and the Rx devices. So if you're Blu-ray doesn't have a USB connection (like mine), then you'll have to use the power plug on the Rx side. Luckily on the Tx side, near the router, I have a computer that's on full time, so I plugged the USB power adapter into the computer and the wireless bridge worked immediately. I suppose you could also get a compatible USB-to-electrical outlet adapter if you don't have a powered USB connection available.
If you don't have a powered USB connection available on one of the ends then you're out of luck. I just wish that Asus included two regular power adapters.

Great plain and simple . I got these to bridge my DSL connection that is in a closet. I was going to install a shuttle PC with Firewall software on it and connect my wifi router to all that. Long story short, since my closet doesn't have AC it get so hot in there, my shuttle shuts down. I now hooked the TX into my DSL modem, with the power supply hooked into my power strip in the closet. These boxes are very small, so easy to work with. The RX is in my office, hooked into my shuttle and the 2nd NIC of the shuttle is hooked up to my wifi router. Works like a charm. The SSID of these boxes is not published, so it doesn't show up in the list of wireless networks which is great. Great product, great price and awesome performance.
