Wireless gaming adapter + 360

[V4NT0M]

Hey, just wondering if anyone has tried one of these or similar with an xbox 360 successfully:

No reason why it would not work, just wanting to make sure, looking at the price of these gaming adapters and the official MS adapter and it seems like I mayaswell buy a much more versatile piece of kit for the same price.

If you want your 360 to be wireless you need the official MS adapter.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Those devices are basically access points with all but one ethernet port lopped off, and it'll only run in client mode.
You hook it up to a PC initially, and configure it to connect to your access point. Then you hook it up to your 360, and the 360 will act as though it has a wired connection, and will be totally unaware that the connection is actually wireless. They're good if your 360 never travels and needs to connect to other AP's, as you'd need to reconfigure it every time!

A wireless ethernet converter is typically a cheaper and better option given that you can share other devices with it and it's portable offering you better reception.

Oh right. I thought you had to use the official MS one. My bad.

For the price of that, you may aswell get an official one to avoid any problems mate

I've actually just found out I can use this FON router I got for free as a gaming adapter, will have to give that a try when I get home

I think you are better off buying the official adapter even though it is a bit of a rip off .
