WiFi Max

From PHWiki

WiFi Max from Datel is a USB WiFi adapter for both DS and PSP. Even though it's sold in two different packages the software for both DS and PSP is included in both versions.

It is able to connect any WiFi enable 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. Great if you are in the garden or in your bed and the film, music, pictures, saves... you are looking for are not on your memory stick.

Installation

It is pretty straight forward to install.

There are just a few things to set-up which are not explained in the manual. I think the people who made the manual assume that you already have 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 to connect to the internet. So you either need to forward ports (unknown which at this time) or turn off your firewall.
