5 Stars Heads up!
This product does not support WPA2. Other than that it is a great adapter that does the job well. I just had to adapt to the fact that it doesn’t do WPA2.

5 Stars wireless adapter
This was a good purchase for our household. Received the product promptly and in good condition.

5 Stars Xbox 360 Wirless Network Adapter
This is the best adapter for wireless to get for Xbox 360. It was built just for the Xbox 360 so it picks up all the wireless networks that are open and will connect the best network. The range for networks is greater than buying another brand.

5 Stars xbox 360 wireless adapter
setup was easy and straight forward, if you have an N router you can set this up to work in the 802.11a standard and the bandwidth is perfect for streaming HD content to the xbox.

highly recommend for people that dont want to run wires.

5 Stars Great Buy! Long Range! Fast Connection!

5 Stars Simple Quick and Easy
Had very little problems with this, took it out, clipped it onto the 360, plugged it in and ran the tests. It failed repeatedly on my NetGear wireless router until I discovered some of the services I had blocked on all attached devices were causing the issue. Unblocked the services (except for the kids PC’s – lol) and I was in business connected to X-Box Live in no time. Looks like it belongs on the unit with the clip feature and I get a great signal even one floor down from the router.

3 Stars Great product but why does MS always charge so much?
I have a wireless network set up at home due to a couple laptops and various gaming systems. This great for those who have a wireless network (or for those who live close to someone dumb enough to have an unsecured wireless network.) It’s painfully easy to install. I wouldn’t even go so far as to use the word “install”, instead let’s say it’s easy to plug into your Xbox. Synced flawlessly with my network, took MAYBE 10 minutes including the various searching and connection testing. Do this once and you’ll never have to again. I’ve had this for about a year and a half and have never lost connection. So… Why did I give this 3 stars?

The product, flawless as it may be, is $90 dollars for a little plastic USB network adapter that should’ve been integrated in the first place. I realize the 360 was ahead of the curve as far as the current generation goes, but the exodus from “wired” to “wireless” was well underway when the 360 hit the shelves. It’s the same thing with the 120gb harddrive. Xbox live was already a well established facet of the Microsoft Console experience. With the amount of content available via the marketplace they should’ve known that 20g would not be enough. Anyway, I digress.

Bottom line: A virtually flawless wireless network adapter for the 360. Unfortunately, this should’ve been included with the system or at least shelved at half of what it’s going for.

5 Stars Expensive…but hey it works wonders
I will admit that it would be nice to be able to plug in any WiFi adapter and have it work. However this is quick and simplest way to connect through wireless.

If your internet router is near enough use the hard line the Xbox 360 comes with, but, if you are 10-50 ft away from it or already have something plugged into that spot this is the way to go!

5 Stars It connects without any problems
The Product worked like a charm, and Amazon sold it to me for $10.00 for cheaper than anywhere else. I bought one for my friend and one for myself. Thanks Amazon!

2 Stars Well it Works… DEFINITELY not worth the price
First of all, I want to point out that I’ve used multiple devices to try and get a good connection between my WPN824 Netgear Router and my XBOX 360

Logitech Play Link – Works PERFECTLY, easiest to set up, online gaming is flawless but downloads were WAYYY too slow (hours and hours to download)

Netgear HDX101 Powerline Adapters – Didn’t work at all, absolutely terrible performance, barely worked in the same room

Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter – The main reason for this review, it is the nicest looking of the ones I used/took up the least amount of space. However, I got it to stream HD off of my laptop. Even when the two were in the same room in clear view of the router, I never could get more than 2 out of 10 bars for the Media Center Performance test. I was frequenstly disconnected for NO reasons, yeah it worked but didn’t do what I bought it for.

My solution? The Belkin Wireless Range Extender F5D7132. I picked it up used on Craigslist for 16 Dollars SHIPPED.

The setup was not the easiest, gotta follow the instruction in some amazon reviews if you use WEP security, but once it is set up it works AMAZING.

A. It extends your wireless, so now my router is on the other side of our 4,500 sq. ft house and on the first floor, this extender is on the 3rd floor in my room, extending the internet to my laptop.

B. You can hard-wire anything (XBOX 360) via ethernet into it’s LAN port, making the connection to my laptop securely in the “Acceptable Range” for streaming HD. Now the XBOX is hard-wired, I have increased my wireless rnage significantly, and I paid 16 dollars.

Point being, SKIP THE MICROSOFT WIRELESS ADAPTER, pick up the Belkin Extender, does more, costs wayyyyyy less, WORKS!
