LINKSYS WKPC54G US/UK compatibility

Is there any internal / performance difference between U.S. LINKSYS
WKPC54G (or similiar models) and the U.K. version? Meaning, will they
be compatible over the same network?

If they are compatible, what would be the best single power converter
to use, to run a playstation2 AND a wireless gaming adapter
simultaneously? Im a bit confused on the VA
capacity rating(S). I understand both the console and the adapter run
at 120v. The 120-240 us/uk products are easy to find, but which one
will support both hardware without frying?

Well, I'm guessing a little bit, but if they adhere to the same
wireless protocol they will probably be compatible. I'll try
and check a little more though and find out.

I'm a little confused. Are you in England trying to make use
of U.S. made equipment (120v) or are you in the U.S. trying
to make use of products that were made in England (240v)?
Elaborate some please and then maybe I'll be able to answer
better.

I am trying to make US hardware run in the UK.

I've decided to skip using both appliances on the same power converter.

The linksys products are 12v 0.5 amps.

I have found converters that support 3-12v 1 amp, .8 amp 1.6 amp etc
but not .5 amp

If you know where I could purchase one that'd be great.


TIA

More capacity is OK -- won't hurt.
