Going wireless with the 360
 
If I recall, using an ethernet cord, gives a little more reliability than wireless which I've been using for the last couple months. I'm now at a point where I would love to consider wireless because my 360 is a pretty good distance from my router and DSL modem. I'd rather not spend $100 on the Microsoft adaptor so I'd like to know what anyone else has used to connect wirelessly. Is there any solutions that are relatively inexpensive, reliable, and easy to set up? I know I've read things that other people have used but can't find anything on the net.

A wireless ethernet bridge will work.

I use the MS one and think its worth the money. no wires or power plug needed, just plugs into the back of the 360 with usb.

I use a wireless bridge for my original Xbox. I bought a refurbished one from Overstock for about $30 a couple of years ago.

Yep. I'm still using the bridge that I used on my original Xbox. Works great.

Do you get a better connection with wireless or with an ethernet? I'm tired of losing connection with the server when I play Shadowrun!

Do you guys have one that you would recommend? Price? Does the wireless bridge sit right next to your 360 and sends the signal across your house to the router? How difficult are they to configure with a home network? I always have a difficult time setting these up.

Thanks guys!

My wireless signal hardly ever was dropped, but when I tried to download something, it took forever. So I moved the router to next to the 360 and plugged it in and downloaded the NCAA demo and it was finished in <30mins. Forza 2 took like 8 hrs on wireless.
