I think the difference between the two is that the bridge can be plugged
into a ethernet port or into a switch, thereby eliminating the need for
multiple wireless devices for a group of remote computers. The game
adapter is only set for one PC, but you could fix that by just using a
crossover cable and plug it into a switch (or hub) since that's all the
bridge is doing internally.
