wireless game adapter

A device that adds wireless capability to a video game console if a wireless network is available. Also called a "wireless Ethernet bridge," it connects to the Ethernet port on the console and converts wired Ethernet into wireless Ethernet (802.11b or 802.11g). A pair of adapters can be used with two game consoles to provide wireless connectivity between them. See Wi-Fi bridge.
