Microsoft and their proprietary products are poor performance,and too expensive.This adapter detects the same network my pc adapter detects but only 1 bar of signal.My pc adapter has 5 bars on the network.The xbox adapter must not have an omni antenna and the gain is probably 1dbi.I tried to opened this crap and put a higher gain antenna but the connector is a sub micro connector specially made for microsoft to screw us.I still could have rigged a better antenna,but i accidentally lost an ic chip trying to pry this thing apart,now there goes 70 bucks,never again.
Fortunately i discovered linksys sells a universal game adapter (part number WGA54G),the adpater is also pc compatible,why isnt the xbox adapter pc compatible?Anyway,the linksys has an omni antenna and yes its removable to get a better omni.The signal is 5 to 15 times ...
Advantages: Range, Speed, Reliability Disadvantages: Bulkier than other PC-Cards, slightly more expensive
laptops). My only gripe here is that the MiMo technology, which relies on multiple antennae in the networkcard, makes for a fairly bulky protuberance when used in a laptop. There really aren't any other problems with it.
By way of summary, if you're looking for a flexible and reasonably future-proof way of upgrading your wirelessnetwork, or if you're just about to embark on building a wirelessnetwork at home then you could do a lot worse than look at the Pre-N kit from Belkin. At £65 for the adapter and the PCI-slot caddy, it's slightly more expensive than "standard" networkcards so ONLY buy it if you are going to invest in other Pre-N devices from Belkin. The build quality is excellent, the documentation detailed yet easy to read and the supplied software does the job admirably. I've not had a reason to call Belkin support but their ...
Advantages: makes connecting to live wireless Disadvantages: very high price
i bought this for £50 second hand, and i found it very easy to use and it connected to my modem in minutes, but i know not everyone connects it as easy as i did, infact i couldnt connect it to my old router when i first got an xbox 360, so then i went for the ethernet cable method which is ideal if the router is in the same room as the xbox 360 because its much cheaper, gauranteed to work and normally makes connection better, but in my case i had a 30m ethernet cable running down my stairs which is not ideal! therefore when i bought my xbox 360 back i wanted to get it sorted with the networkadapter.
THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE ADAPTER:
its a easy method of connecting up to xbox live if it will connect to the router
its small and as a nice slot at the back of the xbox 360
theres a light which is green if its working and red if its ...
