That’s why I have a 100ft USB cord running down the hall and into the 360 Lutz. That, and I am cheap – er um – refuse to pay $100 for the wireless adapter.

I’m sure you could find one for about 20 if not under on E-bay Stephany.

True, Gek – and I have seen them, I am just wary of used wireless sticks.

so MS is possibly going to come out with a new wireless adapter, about fucking time, i got the old wi-fi adapter, 80% of the time it works okay but the other 20% of the time it is problematic at best and at worst a pain in the fucking ass, hopefully this new wi-fi adapter isn’t going such a pain in the ass

An access point is the better/cheaper solution for 360 wireless. Keeps your USB slot free too.

I;m certain that wireless will be built into the console when they release the inevitable X360 Slim nest year.

i flashed a wireless router to act as a repeater, plug that into my xbox via ethernet, connect it via wireless and done.
