NexusLink WB-1750-KIT Wireless Gaming Bridge Review

Setting up a home network can be a rather confusing task.  On one hand it is something you should only have to do once or, maybe twice if you tend to change things around.  While on the other hand if you don’t configure your network correctly you will be chasing issues for a very long time.  The general rule of thumb with networks is to keep things simple, the more layers and devices you have the more complex the setup and the higher chance that you’ll run into issues.

In this review I’ll be looking at a new product from NexusLink called the WB-1750-KIT.  This is a high speed wireless bridge designed for gaming and is designed to provide a high speed point to point connection between devices that doesn't suffer from normal latency issues.  These connection issues might be due to distance from the router, obstructions that impede the signal or busy locations with multiple hotspots.  By using a point to point bridge you get a dedicated signal that is backed by a cable connection on each end giving you the best chance for low latency data transmission.
