Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter

Okay, I've read ALL over the place that this thing is great, with a wonderfully easy setup, decent range/speed, and no firmware updates, it looks great, yadda yadda yadda. But I'm on my SECOND one, and I still only have this miserable little steady red light on it, and the XBOX Live test states that the adapter is disconnected no matter what USB port I plug it into (and they all work because I've plugged other devices into them and have had no troubles, nor did I have an Ethernet cord plugged in at the same time as the network adapter.)

*****BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK!*****

Pros: Ehh.... easy setup? Looks okay and matches the 360.

Cons: Crappy device that doesn't have enough documentation. Customer service SUCKS, and exhausted most of their support info and had to escalate me... Also, in the middle of trying to fix my issue, the call cut off automatically. I called back immediately, and the IVR (after not giving me the option to dial extensions to get to the correct menu for support, and ONLY accepting voice commands) informed me that I would have to call back during normal business hours. Way to F***ing go, Microsoft.

The majority of wireless bridges demands, that initial installation has been executed, using a computer, but Xbox which 360 Radio Transferring the Adapter have obviously to be developed to work with Xbox 360 directly from a box. Even if you use any form of wireless safety at any Home Furniture, All of you do not require yet a computer to form the adapter as Microsoft has included such utility within the limits of Xbox 360 systems.

Pros: its USB interface allowed Microsoft to get away from using an external power supply such as those found in practically all wireless bridges.

Cons: Just as gameplay is what really matters in games

I was using a basic Linksys wireless game adapter with my 360, and it worked fine. However, it needed to be connected to a PC for firmware updates (making it impossible for Mac users), and was generally more difficult to set up than the "official" adapter from Microsoft.

Pros: If your time is valuable to you, this is probably worth the extra few dollars over similar products. You just snap it on, enter your network's password, and you're off.

Cons: I ended up getting this adapter on sale while learning how to trade stocks, and setting it up was a snap. It gets decent throughput, and saves some energy over an external adapter, because it only uses power when you have the Xbox 360 on. It was also nice to see that this supports WPA networks.

I have a retired wireless router and connected to my 360 with cable. Whenever I need stream movie from PC, I just switch to the the 'retired network'. Totoal cost is 0. BTW - I got two wireless adaptor on pc, so even don't have do any switch.

Pros: Cost nothing. Even you buy a new wireless router + an adaptor , it is still cheaper than the 360 adaptor.

Cons: You need two network. You PC need be on both network.
