Product Review Summary: Works .... Sometimes

I've had one of these adapters before, and after changing the security settings on my wireless network, it worked fine without a hitch. When that one finally went belly up, I did not hesitate get another of the same type because the first one had worked so well, and why spend the extra money. Right? The second one has been a big ole pain in the rear from the get go. It took me two days to get it up and running the first time, absolutely would NOT recognize wireless network, unplugged/replugged, reset, rebooted a zillion times ... nada. I spent hours reading user forums, and finally tried someone's suggestion to connect it directly to wireless router from which it "read" the network configuration, reconnected to XBox and got it working. For a couple of days. Then lost connection and had to start all over, had to manually enter network settings, got it going again. For a couple of days. This scenario has recurred about four times in the past three weeks. Today absolutely nothing worked, including the connecting to wireless router that had worked before. At that point, I did the only thing left to do. I took it out on the back porch and beat it with a hammer. I hated like heck to pay so much more for the new one specifically for the 360 (tell me again why every other system has wireless built in), sometimes you just got to bite the bullet for the sake of your sanity.

So. Yes. It will work with the 360. If you're lucky. Or maybe not.

Product Review Summary: great price, works great, even after a year

had it for over a year and very happy. I keep it in my basement and the router is on the upstair level and I keep a solid connection. Great price, fast shipping, super satisfied.

Product Review Summary: Prepare to throw this out your window...

It DOES work for the XBox 360.....when it feels like it. Buggy doesn't even begin to describe it! For some reason, this piece of garbage only fully connects at night...is it a vampire? I don't know.
Drops out of connections ALL THE TIME....and then takes fifteen minutes to reboot...just to DROP OUT AGAIN!!!!

I hate this thing almost as much as my original XBox!

What is WRONG with you,MICROSOFT?!??!?

Product Review Summary: Makes Sense

It's great and far cheaper than the Xbox wireless version and without utilizing your USB port. It's a must have.

Product Review Summary: Didn't work for my 360

I'm somewhat technically savvy and I could not get this to work for my 360. I bought the newer (360) adapter and that worked without a problem.
