Great Item -- but watch the price

I got this as an alternative to the grossly overpriced Microsoft XBox 360 Wireless Adapter.

This device is, if anything, easier to use. It comes with 2 boxes -- one plugs into your XBox ethernet port, the other plugs into your router. There is no setup. There is nothing to configure on the XBox. As far as the XBox is concerned, this is a regular ethernet linkup and it just starts working.

I hooked it up, did some rounds of COD4 and downloaded a movie and I noticed no difference versus when I had the XBox plugged directly in to my router (but I didn't want my router in my living room, which is why I got this).

You should also be able to use these for any no-setup wireless connection you want. It's the "Xbox Play Link" but there's really nothing about it that makes it specific to the XBox. It will work for anything. (The boxes themselves do not say "Xbox" anywhere on them.)

Word of caution, though:
Check the prices.

As of the time of this writing, Amazon is not stocking the device and you can only buy it through 3rd parties. I was lucky and got it through a 3rd party here for a good price, but now I see only one place selling it, and they've marked it up considerably. Shop around before you buy.

Also note that any "wireless bridge adapter" will very likely work, if you are unable to find this particular device. Just make sure the transfer rate of the bridge adapter is in the 1.5 Mbps rater or higher, so you can fully utilize your high speed internet through it.

Great wireless solution

Works perfectly with my 360 and pc. I can't believe you can transfer internet data over RF! So weird but works well with good distances.

Works fine for online play, but downloads are super slow

I bought this item several months ago instead of shelling out $100 for the Microsoft adapter. I play online a lot and have never had a problem with online play. My 360 is upstairs on one end of the house while my router is in the basement on the opposite side of the house. Never had a problem with Gears of War, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, etc. But Xbox Live downloads are extremely slow. Demos that are 750mb - 1gb usually take 3-5 hours to download. I'm also unable to hook up with my computer wirelessly because the connection is too slow. I've actually had some problems getting online since the recent Xbox Live update (Dec. 2007) - not sure if that is because of this adapter or not. I'd give this item 3 stars for performance but gave it 4 stars because of the affordable price. I'm going to buy the Microsoft wireless adapter because it takes up less space, doesn't need an outlet and is faster.

Two Amazing Little Black Boxes!

If you want to go wireless on your XBOX 360 than look no further than this product. Easy to hook up and they actually work great. I play online a lot and I have never had any issues with lag or getting bumped from the network. They are set up on the first and second floor's of my house and work like a charm for a lot less $$.
