Xbox 360 Wireless Networking

The Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter is a simple method to connect your Xbox 360 to your existing wireless network. The USB adapter is dual band, 5GHz and 2.4GHz so it is compatible with 802.11a/b/g networks. Wireless connectivity to the Xbox 360 allows online play via Xbox Live, and streaming of videos and music from a Media Center PC.

The adapter simply plugs into the Xbox 360’s rear USB port. There is no need for an external power supply as the adapter draws its power from the USB port. Setup is a breeze. Once plugged in simply select the corresponding wireless network from within the Xbox 360’s system blade. A security utility has been included on the Xbox 360 so that wireless security configurations can be done right from the console.

The fact that the Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter is dual band adds even more versatility. Users have the choice to use either 2.4GHz or 5GHz. This is useful if there are interference issues within the house. Some devices like cordless phones and micro-wave ovens are common appliances that cause interference.

Being built specifically for the Xbox 360 it had to be small in construction. As for speed and range, it performs just as well as any other larger wireless bridges. It also does not create any interference with the Xbox 360’s wireless controllers.

If you enjoyed the Xbox 360 experience without the wireless capabilities, be prepared to truly love the Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter. Streaming video and music, playing online on Xbox Live, all without the clutter of wires is truly amazing. I highly recommend this wireless adapter.
