Customer Reviews

The manufacturer settings and the software itself are lame. I couldn't get a connection to the device, and running software just got the "error: call customer support" line. Tried resetting the device, tried a few different computers; FAQs and support at the site are lacking. After a long time spent searching i found some useful info on setting it up manually. Search for "How can i configure my pelican wireless gaming adapter?" in google, and choose the first result from the yahoo domain. Here's the text, just in case:
Using Windows XP or Vista:
Turn off the wireless feature of the PC you will be using to setup the adapter.
· Plug the adapter into your PC's Ethernet port and wait at least 3 minutes for the adapter to boot up before continuing to the next step.
· Select the "Start Menu" icon and click on Control Panel.
· Select "Network and Sharing Center".
· From the left sidebar, select the "Manage Network Connections" option.
· Right click the "Local Network" icon and select the properties option.
· Highlight the IPv4 option and click the properties tab.
· Select the "Use the following IP address" option and enter this IP address: 192.168.1.222
· Enter the following address for Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
· Enter the following address for Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
· Press the OK tab and close the "Local Area Connection" window.
· Open the internet browser of your choice and enter 192.168.1.99 in the address or location field.
· If a "Windows Dialogue box" appears, enter Username: "Admin" and leave password blank. If no windows box appeared, continue to next step.
· Make sure the login name is "admin" and enter the word "password" for password.
· Select the WIRELESS SETTINGS tab.
· Go to "Basic Settings" and enter the name of your router or wireless network in the SSID field. (You can press the "Site Survey" button if you are unsure of the name of your network or router)
· Click on APPLY to save the settings.
· Select the SECURITY tab and click on "Encryption Method."
· Enter your network password or security key in the Password field.
· Click APPLY to save the settings.
· Disconnect the adapter from your PC and its power supply.
· Connect the adapter to the power supply and the Xbox 360.
· Once the adapter is connected to the Xbox 360, allow it to "self-setup" for at least 2 minutes.
· You can now go to the system tab of the Xbox 360 dashboard and select NETWORK SETTINGS to test the network connection and make sure you are connected to the Internet.
· Go back to your PC and re-enter the network settings property page.
· Select "Obtain an IP address automatically" and press the OK button.
So if you have trouble with the software, follow the steps to set it up manually. Now it's up and running; all the other devices on the network are connected ok; speed seems fine (now many months in, speed has been perfect, and never had a dropped connection), and now I don't have to pay $$ to let Microsoft rip me off. I'm satisfied.
Some people have complained about the fact that it needs an external power source, but I rather prefer not having devices drawing power from the 360. Less chance of RRoD that way.

I bought this product recently and I was surprized to see its size. From the pictures on the web it looked kind of bulky however it is no more than the size of a sandwich and surprising light too.
The setup was a cakewalk if you followed the instructions and you are online in a flash. I am very much satisfied with this product.
Great Value for Money! The difference is in the price.. the microsoft one costs $100 and the pelican one costs $70 Retail. It is supposed to do the same thing as the Microsoft wireless adapter (connect to a router) but only cheaper and without using up a usb port.
