How are ‘gaming’ wireless bridges different from non-gaming products?

Some "gaming" wireless bridges have auto-setup features that allow them to connect to unsecured WLANs without having to run a computer-based setup utility. But if you are running a WEP or WPA-secured wireless LAN (as you should be), you'll need to fire up either a utility or log into a web-based admin server in the device to properly set it up. As long as your gaming device has an Ethernet port, you should be able to use any wireless bridge product with it.
