Wireless Network adaptor

I have heard that you can use the old Xbox wireless network adaptor and not the 100 dollar one. Anyone know if this is true? Thanks form the noob

Yes i'm a first time Xbox owner and Sony has lost a customer.

and are there any other options for other than those two? i'm completely computer retarded pretty much. thanks guys and ladies

Hey Imaraidr. First things Frist Welcome to xboxaddict.com Where all your xbox and xbox360 wishes come ture. Next what is up with three post in a row. You could have put all that in one post.

Also I have no clue on how to answer you questions but I know someone can help you. later and see you around.

oh because i didn't think it all out at once it came in 5 min spurts posting while at work not the smartest thing

yes, you can use the old one. Believe me ;)

The adapter for the original Xbox will work, along with any number of similar devices available. Here's a selection of them from Dlink, Linksys, Netgear and Belkin. There's a good number of other brands out there too. Just look for a "Ethernet Bridge" or "Wireless Bridge". Given that you're not running a dedicated T3 fibre line or any such, you won't notice any difference in your gaming if you buy a 'G' or 'B' bridge. It will only affect the speed that you can transfer files to and from your computer. Some models may give you better range, but there's no telling which, and that mostly comes down to your router's quality anyway.

The other adapters like the old Xbox one are ethernet adapters. They just plug right into the ethernet port of the xbox.

I really hate saying this but, spend the money on the 360 adapter. I moved my 360 to a location without a hard line conection which really bothered me becasue of XBL.

Tried a few wireless configurations with ok success, but then I bit the bullet and bought the "Official" hardware and I have to admit it works phenomonaly.

Great connection, speed, and no lag. Grant it, it all starts with the service you have, but the adapter was quick, easy, and works really well.

This coming from someone who rarely goes with the "Official" anything when it comes to network connections.

BTW, hit up New Egg and get it for under $90 shipped.;)
