 Previous xbox adapter works on 360 March 28, 2006

I bought the wireless adapter for xbox last year and it worked great. Recently got a 360 and plugged it into the ethernet port and it worked perfectly. It must be the only thing from xbox that can be used on a 360. Don't buy the 360 adapter if you have the previous one, the only thing is the new one supports wireless a signals but g works great anyway. Yes, the new one looks better but not for $100.
 Great addition despite the cost September 12, 2006

I purchased this Wireless Adapter from Amazon and installed it within minutes. Xbox live was a whole other matter, but the Adapter was easy, painless and worked perfectly.
The speed surprised me as well since it's wireless, I expected the downloading of demos from Live to take quite a while, but I was able to download 2 GB worth of demos in about an hour.
Signal strength and performance with online games has been excellent!
One word of caution, if you have an xbox only profile that you wish to convert to live rename it to the name you want prior to signing up for xbox live. I made the mistake of expecting the live registration to rename my existing profile once I found a live account and this wasn't the case, so I had 2 profiles. I personally prefer 1 so I don't have to switch based on playing local and online.
Don't hesitate - buy it! Installs easily, great signal strength December 14, 2006

Chose this as an easy solution to internet my XBox 360.
Bought retail in Hong Kong for less than the price listed here though...
After plugging in the unit at the back and rebooting, the system hunted for wireless connections and quickly found my router. Then feeding in the router's security settings into the console & updating the console mac address into the router and Hey Presto :) I get 4/5 signal strength even though the signal has to pass through two reinforced concrete walls!
From opening the pack to connecting to XBox Live in less than 5 minutes...
A wonderful product which really deserves 6 stars!
 Beware of compatiblity issues January 8, 2007

I have a D-Link DI-524 revision E 5.1 Firmware. For some reason or another, the wireless adapter refuses to connect to the DI-524 E. I don't see any entries on the router. It seems that the Wireless Adapter can easily find the network, but I cannot successfully connect. I've tried using WPA and WEP, but with no success. I ended up giving up and returning the adapter. The DI-524 is on the compatibility list, but only for certain firmwares [which means, certain revision]. The latest revision of the DI-524 doesn't seem to be compatible with the XBOX 360 Wireless Adapter. I even have a Zonet wireless adapter for my laptop, and it connected to the router fine. I would suggest reading the fine print carefully about what routers are compatible to the wireless adapter. Having a newer firmware doesn't necessarily guarantee compatibility.
The range.. September 4, 2007

The range is terrible. I had this thing hooked up to my Xbox 360 a mere 30 feet away, and I get NO signal.
AT ALL.
EPIC FAIL.
