Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless a/b/g Network Adapter

Was so happy to get this for my husbands system especially an original and not an off rand, works great.

The hardest part about this device is getting it out of the package! An exacto knife took care of that! I plugged it in, followed the directions, and in 5 minutes, I was online! I love this thing. Ya, it's $[...], but for that price I now not only play the games online, but I have Zune for free, with all the History, Discovery, National Geographic channel shows, and a bunch of TV show seasons I've wanted to see. If you have Netflix, you can also watch movies, and even more great shows, on your big TV, not the computer screen! without having to wait for them to come in the mail. Watch 10 a day if you want to. There isn't a limit. For me, this little thing paid for itself, as I'm not buying movies on demand for the kids anymore, and again, if I want to see a movie, NOW, I can without waiting for it to come up on my Netflix cue. Great device, easy setup, (Important to me, as I am NOT a techie), and X Box offers great features once you're on line with them. Highly recommended! I wish I had done it sooner. I'm off to go watch the Civil War series. Enjoy!

This works perfectly as expected. The problem is that $100 is an insane amount to pay for a wireless adapter. Take the Wii for example. Its costs $250 and has wifi built in. This device is 40% the price of the wii. For the first few weeks, just to spite microsoft, I built a $800 wireless adapter with a amd 64x2 3800+ and a terabyte raid array, lol. I eventual gave in a purchased this to minimize the complexity of my previous solution. Ok so as far as functionality this deserves 5 stars, but pricewise, it deserves negative 5 stars.

Pros: Small. 1-5 minute installation, depending on how smart or dumb you are. Always On. It completes your LIVE experience. You can take your 360 anywhere where there is a TV & a wireless nonsecured signal. Cons: Microsoft likes to give us choices....... how sweet.. It would have been better if they had just included the damn thing inside the 360. PS3 and Wii did good. (One clap for them both). Summary: I bought this piece of white and gray beauty. I love it. It took me like a minute to set up. It actually took me longer to find some scissors and cut my way throught the damn packaging. Then the installation process which should not exceed 5 minutes, unless your home network sucks or you're just plain stupid. Well, I have nothing more to say, except that I wish it had been intergrated into the sstem like the other two competitors did into theirs. Oh, and that I STRONGLY RECOMMEND The Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter to anyone who has a 360 or is planning to purchase one in the near future. PS. Microsoft,you bastards. I could have spent the money I used to buy this sexy beast to buy two of your 360 games. That's all I have to say. I Love you MS.

I bought this thing about a year ago to attach to an XBOX that gets light use most of the time, and heavy use during holidays and vacations when the younger set arrives. As for the product, it has worked great, no problems. I paid a bit more for it than I felt it was worth, but, like others have noted, the lack of hassle in hooking it up was appreciated, and who has time to fool around trying to get something to work? Better to just suck it up and fork over the dough, and avoid the agony. I stopped in to write this review because in glancing at the description of this item while looking for other XBOX accoutrements, I noted that this product is now advertised as "A/B/G Networks Only"--it didn't say that when I bought mine, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. Why? I have an "N" network and it predates my purchase of this product. FWIW, when I made my purchase, there was no "N" adapter offered for sale, and the adapter I purchased worked, and still is working, JUST FINE on my "N" network. I also notice that the "N" network version is a bit pricier than this one. Perhaps some expert can weigh in and tell us why the "N" version, at an additional cost, is better, but I simply wanted to report that my experience is that this particular adapter worked and continues to work with no issues on my "N" network.

When I bought this product I put it on a new never used credit card from Amazon . Within a few hours it was explained in an e mail that the order did not go through and was canceled . I called Amazon Credit and explained the problem and I was informed that the sale was not registered on my account. At that point I was told that the sale would not occur. I did not get upset . I have a paypal account with ebay and found the adapter ( new ) for less money , purchased it and received it rather quickly . And about 3 - 4 days later the adapter from amazon arrived , so I would not have to go through amazon and explain this to them again I kept the adapter and now have ( 2 ) . One for a back-up . Note: both my grandsons love the game and although it is starting to get expensive it is worth every penny . than you , glenn. ps; did e mail the seller when they had requested a review and they were kind enough to say they would take it back. Guess I was upset and stubborn I did not send it back . If only I wasn't a man life you be so much easier.

This wireless network adapter worked great out of the box and was easy to install on the Xbox 360. You literally plug in the USB and snap it to the back. I haven't had any connectivity issues and the wireless networks setup through the Xbox interface was SUPER EASY. The adapter is really compact and fits onto the back of the Xbox 360 like it's hardly there. It works for 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g wireless routers and access points. I haven't had a signal drop, even from the opposite side of my home. My only complaint is the price, this costs as much as many home wireless routers! If you take in all of the benefits and utilize Xbox live enough, I suppose you can rationalize it. Being cord-free is pretty nice too.

My son has had to move his XBOX from the living room back to his bedroom over and over. I like to use it while he is at school, and he plays his games in the eve. The adapter is constantly being put in and taken out. Personally I think it makes the internet run a bit slower than the cord. I like to watch Netflix. Sometimes while watching a movie with the adapter in, the movie has to refresh or reload or whatever it does. All I know it is very annoying. So I use the Ethernet cable to stop the reloading in the mist of a good movie. My son has no internet in his room and this small unit allows his to play XBOX live. He says it runs perfectly fine with his games. It makes him happy, so it makes me happy.

10/10

Excellent, connected to the wireless right away, got my old Xbox up and connected. Exactly what I was hoping for

great item

Awsome remote very happy

This product may just be a gimmick of the old white era 360’s, but when you want Wi-Fi connectivity it’s a must. This was used but in good condition, worked perfectly for my 360 and now I can play GOT on my old Xbox. Fair pricing and decent product. Thank you!
