Corinex setup and online gaming test
The CD bundled with the Corinex GameNet contains a PDF user's
manual and
quick-start guide. The manual has to be accessed through a
drop-down box, which makes the interface a little clunky, but it's
still simple to use.
Installation
We
simply plugged one AV200 adapter into our MSI test platform, another
into our office network and powered up. Our MSI test platform
found the internet connection right away. The Corinex proves truly to
be
plug-and-play out of the box for its target market.
Online gaming performance
An online gaming test is
perhaps the most representative test of the GameNet's real-world usage.
The device is primarily targeted at console gamers wary of dropped,
degraded or simply low-performance Wi-Fi reception affecting their
gameplay experience, whilst at the same time wanting a simple-to-set-up
network connection.
We loaded up an online game of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, and it
played without any noticeable lag. Moving the adapter connecting
to
our network to the far side of our offices still allowed a smooth,
lag-free gaming experience
The Corinex, it seems, simply works.
