Best way to get wireless on 360?

POSTED BY: iCodd 2 weeks, 5 days ago

What's the best solution for wireless on the Xbox? get the official adaptor or is there a better (read cheaper) solution?

You could try a wireless gaming bridge but unless there is a significant difference in price its easiest just to get the MS adaptor...

Unlike the MS adaptor this would need its own power supply........

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-802-1...7597545&sr=8-1 I got the belkin wireless g gaming adapter for my girlfriend the other week off amazon and its very good, can be used on the ps3 as well if you have a poor connection itll improve it, in fact it can be used with any device with an ethernet port (bluray player etc).

I bought mine for £16.99 the price seems to fluctuate all the time so keep an eye out. Also, it doesnt necessarily need its own power supply., you can either plug it into two usb ports or use the supplied power adaptor

Thanks for the info, just seemed a little extreme. Although I've just found out an old router, which I'm hoping I can bridge to my other router........ we'll see
