Anyone have a 360 wireless adapter

[JuddWack]

I'm moving at the end of the month and was thinking I may have to buy one of these. I doubt the landlord would allow me to run a cable to my room from the modem. Hopefully she will let me move the modem to my room Anyway, do they work well? I may have no alternative.

ive got one, works great. Friend gave it to me, so I was a lucky SOB. You can get em cheaper on ebay than in stores i believe. Also if you pick up the original xbox wireless adapter it works with the 360 and is only like 30 bucks. Your last alternative is to pick up a lnksys router and flash the firmware to turn it into a wireless adapter for all your consoles/computers. I did it for a friend, and its amazing.

[JuddWack]

Well I'd definitely like to have an older uglier adapter from the original xbox for less than half the price, but does it work just as good?

[Nico0020]

never tried it, so dont know how it works. but since m$ used to charge $100 dollars for it I would assume so.

[melancholy]

I never bought one either. $100 for an adapter that should have been integrated into the system from the start seems like a ridiculous price to me no matter how nice of an adapter it is.

[JuddWack]

Yeah I was shocked when I saw the price. I thought it would be more like 30-40. 50 max.

I think you can use almost any ethernet to wireless adapter, and I've also been told a hand up of usb ones work. It'd probably be a lot cheaper to get a sort ethernet cable and hook it up to one of those adapters.

Yeah, a wireless bridge is the much cheaper, and more versatile solution.

No usb ones work. None. Only the MS one, you'd need an Ethernet bridge.

[JuddWack]

So an ethernet bridge will work just as well, can be used for other things and is cheaper? I guess I'll try that then.

I don't know how much ethernet bridges are now a days.

However, you can get a linksys wrt54g (or another outer compatible) and put a 3rd party firmware on to do the same thing plus more.

I currently have 2 wrt54g's bridged, router is in one room plugged into cable modem... other router is plugged into pc, 360, and xbox. Works great. Hit me up if you go this route, i can help.

Well it looks like the router they have here sucks so I'm going to have to spend the coin and get a better one. It only transfers at 11Mbps. On the bright side I don't think running a wire will be a problem.
