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 network adapter.
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 ...
Advantages: Easy to install, Works well, reliable Disadvantages: Expensive
If you enjoy playing online on your xbox 360 and your router is not easily accessible with wires then you should seriously consder getting yourself a wireless adapter.
The Adapter cost around £50-£60 which I think is ridiculously over priced for what is simply a wireless adapter which generally cost aroud £10, but seeing as it is the only option for wireless gaming on the Xbox 360 then if you really want wireless it is your only option.
The adapter was very easy to set up. You simply click it into place at the back of the Xbox 360 and plug the usb plug into the port, and adjust the aerial to face upwards for maximum range. Once you have the adapter in place and plugged in, when you turn on your xbox you will be greeted with a message asking you if you want to configure your wireless device to a network. Clicking 'yes' will bring ...
Advantages: No wires, easy to use Disadvantages: Pricey
I bought this product from Argos, around a month ago.
Its brilliant really, its very simple to use, its purely a usb connection.
You Plug the usb cable leading from the adapter into the usb port, and it has two pin type things, that click into holes that are already there, to hold your wireless adapter, in place, on the xbox console itself.
As soon as i searched with it, it came up with many networks near me, and showed the signal strength, then connected to the one i wanted within seconds.
My xbox is in my bedroom, in my attic, under a beam, where you would imagine the signal would be low, but no, it was far from it, and worked great.
Its a brilliant product, which saves all the wires, the only downfall is the price, its really expensive. ...
