Works fine for awhile
So the adapter itself works quite well for me. However my biggest complaint is that this is my second time having to purchase the device.

Not good unless you are sure of good signal
This product did not work for me. My wireless roughter is less than 100 feet away from my xbox 360. I cannot connect to it.

Wireless adapter
The product overall seems to work pretty well. It was [...] on Amazon than in any retail store. That is really the best thing about it. Regardless, […

Yes, I would have to agree with other reviewers here, this item is on the expensive side. But I believe it is worth the price because Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter is easy to install and easy to set up. In short, it works and I don’t mind paying extra for something that works as intended with no hassels. To install, you simply insert the USB plug into the USB port on the backside of the Xbox 360. This Network adapter snaps into place so it never moves and the cable is just long enough preventing clutter. A very intelligent design. Software set up was a breeze. In my situation, it was automatic after a few menu selections. I did have a concern that there would be a problem because I am using an Apple Airport. But, no problems at all. Also, the range I receive is better than what others have mentioned here. I live in a two story house. My Airport (wireless hub) is located on the east side of the second floor, in a book case next to the outer wall. My Xbox 360 is located in an outer corner of the den on the first floor on the west side of the house. Basically, the signal is going from upstairs to downstairs and from one side of the house to the other. I was actually surprised that it worked without me having to rearrange either room. So, yes it is expensive, but it works without any problems for me. So many things I buy make you almost jump thru hoops to get them to simply do what they are suppose to.

I was using a basic Linksys wireless game adapter with my 360, and it worked fine. However, it needed to be connected to a PC for firmware updates (making it impossible for Mac users), and was generally more difficult to set up than the “official” adapter from Microsoft. I ended up getting this adapter on sale, and setting it up was a snap. It gets decent throughput, and saves some energy over an external adapter, because it only uses power when you have the Xbox 360 on. It was also nice to see that this supports WPA networks. If your time is valuable to you, this is probably worth the extra few dollars over similar products. You just snap it on, enter your network’s password, and you’re off.

A wonderful product, if you ignore the price
I got my wireless adapter from GameStop about a month ago, and I’ve been using it the whole time with absolutely no loss in in connection quality.

Must have for Xbox Live users.
If you have a Xbox 360, Xbox Live, and a wireless network; then you need this. Their is no installation necessary, just chose your wireless network and your ready to play…

Well, I must say after purchasing the Linksys WGA11B Wireless-B Game Adapter that while yes this adapter is overpriced, it does work and considering that I only got the Linksys adapter to work once and then it shut down in the middle of an update I must say the price looked worth it. I can’t vouch for your financial situations but after speading nearly 3 days trying to set up the Linksys when my wife finally said I should get this instead – this hooked up and connected instantly. No problems and I guess for the price it does look nice hooked in to the back of the Xbox. So you may not have as many problems as I do with the Linksys but if you have any questions or limited computer/networking ability this will be “worth” the price (only because nothing simplier does exist). So I would recommend this product if you want true plug-and-play which I don’t believe the Linksys to be. I’m sure plently of people are happy with the Linksys, it just didn’t work for me. So think first to avoid paying for both. I would go back and never buy the Linksys if I could.

Amazing
Love the adapter, it works just as stated, and if you were like me who couldn’t connect to xbox live with an ethernet cable, this is the product for you!

It’s ok
This product is ok. It’s not as accurate as it should be. It’ll connect for a good while, but while I’m playing with friends online, I get kicked off because the adapter loses…

Excellent product
Possibly the easiest thing ever to set up. I plugged this into the back of my XBOX 360, found my home wireless network right away, and was on XBOX Live.

Less Wires!!
Bought this for my husband because I’d rather not deal with him having to run wires through the walls, and having to see a bunch of wires everywhere.
