 Wireless/Hassleless November 3, 2008
The wireless adaptor replaced my wired connection to my Linksys router network and has worked without issue. It was relatively easy to set up -- the most difficult being going through the Xbox live on-line menus to tell it to use the wireless network to connect to, which is a piece of cake. It required no actual setting changes whatsoever. It worked from the get go and there has been no issue with interference and no gameplay change from the hard line connection. We were able to get rid of the network cable and since we moved the router to another room since then with no connection problem it was well worth the price not to have to run wire through the house and walls. Highly recommended.
Works Great!!! Recommend this product November 2, 2008
I bought this product for about [...], but actually paid $[...] since i had earned [...] certificate from Amazon. Have not had any problems with it (owned it for 3 weeks now)and easy to install, especially if you have the wireless network set up already. My xbox is about 30-40 feet away from my wireless router and it works great.
Would recommend it to anyone that does not have the Xbox close to their modem, but if its close to your modem you can simply hard wire it to your modem.
 seems expensive but maybe worth it to some October 30, 2008

I don't own this since I have my 360 wired via a switch, but I would say it is too expensive for what it is. I'm sure it works well, but again, I just can't see paying this much for it. If you are technically adept I suggest some other wired/wireless options in order to spend less.
Pricey, but GREAT! October 30, 2008
While the wireless adapter is a bit pricey, Amazon has the best price on the market. Everything works great, and with a house of 7 guys that play Halo online almost everyday, it's a must have. Just properly set your Xbox network settings, plug it in, and you're good to go!
Wireless is not universally consistent October 29, 2008
I've got one of these, and run it in 802.11a (5GHz) mode connecting to my Linksys dual band router. It works flawlessly and securely, and was easy to configure.
A note to those who read reviews and are worried about getting signal, you SHOULD be. Every house/apartment/neighborhood is different, and you mileage with WiFi will vary greatly. At my house there are so many devices running in the 2.4GHz band around the neighborhood that it's impossible to get a consistent connection - there's just too much interference. I went to a dual band router, switched everything over the the 5GHz band (which has more channels, less contention from neighboring devices, and a shorter range so it's less likely to end up causing the same issues) and everything works great now. 5GHz also is less likely to be messed up by things like microwaves and refrigerators in the path of the signal.
Bottom line:
1.) If you are looking at wireless, be sure you know what you are getting into before you buy and get your initial equipment somewhere where you can return them without hassle in case your environment is problematic. 2.) Think about getting dual-band equipment to begin with as well; it costs a bit more, but it can make the difference between your WLAN working or not.
3.) Before you blame your equipment and write reviews that bad-mouth it, make sure the equipment is really at fault.
4.) WiFi isn't for everyone. If you can't get it to work, take a look at powerline networking instead. It has its own laundry list of potential problems, but if your house wiring is fairly modern, you can usually manage to pull enough bandwidth to do HD streaming and/or gaming across it when your environment is found to be unsuitable for WiFi.
