Title: so how is the X360 wifi adaptor?
Post by: abrader on October 08, 2007, 07:34:49 PM: In my new place I need to run my PS3 and X360 via wifi.

Is the X360 wifi adaptor worth the 80$? Any issues?

I think id rather just rokk the official XBOX360 wi-fi adaptor.

As far as routers go - I have a strong WPA2 wifi network based on the new Apple Airport extreem and Air-tunes extenders in the far corners of the flat.

Post by: BlueTsunami on October 08, 2007, 07:56:22 PM: It works fine here too. My 360 is about 50 Feet away or so from my Wireless Router. Not sure about WPA but I do remember having issues with 128bit WEP soooooo :/

That's what I do - my Xbox 360 leeches from my PC. ICS ftw!

Post by: The Sceneman on October 08, 2007, 08:34:28 PM: So, if you have a wireless network in your house the 360 cant just talk to it?
Title: Re: so how is the X360 wifi adaptor?
Post by: demi on October 08, 2007, 08:35:05 PM: No, its not built-in like Wii or PS3
Title: Re: so how is the X360 wifi adaptor?
Post by: The Sceneman on October 08, 2007, 08:37:13 PM: Okay I'll be getting one of these then. I'd imagine a 360 fails to an extent if it isnt online.

Post by: abrader on October 08, 2007, 08:38:36 PM: ick - i dont even want to think of an x360 not being online...

Internet gaming appliance it is.

Post by: brawndolicious on October 08, 2007, 08:41:30 PM: yeah, you just need to connect it to the internet.

Post by: abrader on October 10, 2007, 02:20:19 PM: this thing was decent yet expensive considering that the X360 should have wifi out of the box (especially the elite model i have)

it clips right on the back dorky looking antennae and all - but there was no set-up and it seems stable.
