This one works great. I have the previous wireless b version. Just hook it to your computer and set it up. Then take it to your xbox.

Does it matter where you connect the wireless usb adapter, because i was unable to hook it up in the back, and was able to in the front.
And it didnt work. Help would be great.
Thanks

I believe the reason one why m$ adapter is dearer is because it's 802.11A? I'm not sure, or maybe it's a faster deritive of G.
B&G are compatible with each other. A is not.

Has anyone got any ideas as xbox support is useless and have given me no support whatsoever and have not returned my call in over 8 days.
Has anyone else come up against this lack of support as I have tried to complain but cannot get any email or phone number.

It works in the front port and the back ports.
It's meant to fit on the back. usb is just above the ethernet:
It looks messy when plugged in the front.
I had an ASUS 802.11b ethernet bridge which I used with the original box which used USB for power (via xbox-usb convertor from ebay):
Worked fine for live (red line is the power - i made these pics years ago to show a mate)
item is Asus WL-330 dirt cheap now if you can find them.
can be used as an Access Point or an Wireless -> Ethernet Bridge

I'd like to save some money and use one of these:

There are about three other ones which are similar, and with the same price.

Loserkid, that's what I used
Well actually the model up, but same thing. I got mine for £19 in a bargain bucket but unfortunately I didn't get the USB power cable 
I'll get one off eBay one of these days.

Hey loserkid, jus been looking at these nifty little units and read that a cd comes to install them. How did u go about installing any software or does the 360 jus recognise the equipment??? Let me know as this is the cheapest (and smallest) alternative ive seen yet to MS's unit.

Normally you just connect the bridge to a PC to set it up, then save the the settings, and install it into its spot next to the xbox. Easy stuff.

Kirkyjism - to set it up you need to cennect it to your pc first, I did have a setup CD but you just need to go to the IP of the device: 192.168.1.1 i think and then use the web based interface to connect to an AP and set encryption etc.
Once it has rebooted, just plug it into your 360/xbox1 and you can access Live
will have a look tonight

guys im a noob and dont fancy giving £60 for the 360wireless adapter.
Was thinking of either getting this

or the ASUS WL-330 to set up a wireless bridge to my xbox 360.
Whats best ( and easiest ! )
