 Great product, terrible price November 21, 2008
Very good product indeed. Took barely 5 minutes to set up and it receives great signal. The only negative thing I can think up for this product is that it is terribly overpriced. When I found out that the 360 had no wireless capabilities I wasn't too phased as I thought I could make do with the Ethernet cable. However after a while the cable can become troublesome and create a mess, this thing just clears it all up.
Perfect November 18, 2008
I was put off by the price at first but with my modem sitting quite a distance away I had no choice.It picks up the signal very well, it has not dropped off once unlike my laptop.
A great alternative to ethernet cables. November 6, 2008
I bought this because my X-Box 360 is located quite some distance from my PC, at first I was skeptical; but it's proven to be a great alternative to the wired option. Simply plug it in and search for your wireless connection via the console itself and it works. - It looks sleek too, not taking up too much space on the back of the console. 100% recommended for people looking for the wireless alternative.

Easy to set up and little or no lag while gaming. Though if you download a lot of content you might want to keep that 30ft ethernet cable handy because it does seem very slow. Took nearly half an hour to download 50% of a demo (about 500meg). canceled it and used a cable and it took 5 minutes.
Good. But.... October 5, 2008

If you CAN put your Xbox360 near to your wireless router and run a cable then you SHOULD.
Wireless is NEVER faster than a cable.
However, if like me, this is not possible then you must have a bridge. After all, why have an Xbox360 if you are not going to play online?
It is very, very easy to set up and install as long as you have the information that you need about logging into your router.
My own wireless bridge took literally 5 minutes to install.
My work colleague asked me to do his for him and it took over 2 hrs, mainly because his router had a security setting on it which meant that you had to manually type in the 'code' of the machine trying to access the router.
This said, both mine and his have never had any problems.
3 stars only? Because you CANNOT shop around and buy this cheaper. It is a monopoly and should be questioned by trading standards or something?
NOTE: One thing to check. Go to the Xbox360 website and look to see if your router is on their compatible list (non compatible ones generally give a bad NAT rating). I had a Belkin and ended up buying a Netgear because if your N.A.T. setting is not 'OPEN' you cannot play properly on XBOX LIVE. You can always do 'port forwarding' but i'd rather pull out my own teeth with rusty pliers than get into that complicated load of old nonsense!! :o)
