I missed the start of this discussion... exactly why
did you want to
rely on a wireless connection and couldn't string a network cable?

is your friend. (That's actually how I read it, so my emailbox won't
get buried in sludge.)

One other problem I have with the term "gaming adapter" is the overuse
by the marketeers of the term "gaming". So we have gaming systems,
keyboards, monitors, mice, chairs and probably coffee cups. The
original meaning of "to game" is "manipulate (a situation), typically in
a way that is unfair or unscrupulous." Perhaps the term when used by
marketers, is apt.
Reminds me of the overuse of "turbo".

To me roughly translated, "Gaming" means we have made it 1% faster and doubled
the price.
Most of the documents refer to this as Access Point Client Mode or Wireless Client Mode.
Its been around for a long time.
Many Access Points will work in client mode I first used it for gaming, well for my sons
gaming with a cheap TP link box for his playstation
I still have one for my TV box which only has a wired connection
Reminds me of the overuse of "turbo".
