360's wireless adapter good?
07/02/07 5:23 pm | #1
Ok so at the house I will be at this summer I will have high-speed internet but it will be hard to run a cord to the router to my 360 so I was wondering if the wireless adapter for the 360 works good and does not make more lag?

If you want the best connection you can get, use an ethernet cable. A wireless adapter will be a tad slower than a cable. If you do decide to go wireless, I would avoid Microsoft's wireless adapter for the 360. $100 is outrageous and I'm 90% sure that a regular USB pc wireless adapter will work. I should try mine out on my 360 before I post this, but I don't have time right now. Maybe someone else can confirm?

I know I use the Linksys Wireless gaming adapter for my 360.

Yes, a regular PC/ethernet adapter will work. I use the Linksys gaming adapter and have not noticed any lag.

I use the 360 Wireless adaptor and am really happy with it. I was more happy to get it for 49.99 though! ![:)](https://xboxamerica.com/imgs/smilies/old-squares/happy.gif)
The original XBox wireless adaptor, well, that's a different story... weak signal.. I get strong signal from the 360 Wireless adaptor.. (the 360 and original are only 2 feet from each other)

Ehh, i really dont reccomend it at all. Its really, REALLY. Not worth the money. Like they said linksys, Its ALOT cheaper, and will work the same. But if anything dont use wireless at all. It really bugs with your connection. You might randomly drop from games and stuff.

I doubt I'd be able to get a signal with the wireless adapter if I got one for my 360. It's already low connecting with my laptop. =/
