The play link is incredibly easy to use, but it doesn't have much bandwidth.  Downloads literally take 20 times as long as a true wired connection.  I'm not exagerating, it's extraordinarily slow.  Playing on xbox live works great and thats what I used it for most of the time.  Navigating the internet and/or downloading anything on any device plugged into it (including the 360) is very very slow.

You can use it to connect anything with a network port to anything else with a network port.  It gets better signal than any wireless card I've ever used.  I used it for a number of different computers and 2 xbox 360's.

I enjoyed the ease of use, unfortunately I was only able to enjoy it for about 10 months.  I purchased it in January 2007 and it broke about a month ago.  It's not very reliable.  That, and the horrible download speed make me give it a low review.  Another strange tid-bit.  I bought it for less than $30 shipped a year ago.  Whats up with these prices?!?!
