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 ...
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: Great for browsing, email etc Disadvantages: Poor for gaming
Installation consists of install software from a CD Rom and then Plugging in the dongle to an available USB port. When you compare the netgear software to the default Windows software which it disables, it really does look cheap, something from Windows 95. I have my 54Mbps Dongle attached to a Netgear 108Mbps Wireless Network and the perfomance is good for opening email, browsing internet, downloading files etc, however, when gaming online, i noticed that every few seconds I would lag slightly, which did not happen with my previous wired connection. Also you do not a USB Stand with this product, just a USB wire extension cable. My product cost £29.99 from PC World, I wish I had of purchased the more expensive 108Mbps Netgear Dongle for my gaming needs. ...
