Microsoft’s told Joystiq that the Xbox 360′s 802.11n WIFI adapter is, in fact, real.

The tiny marvel was recently spotted on an Italian Xbox ad and in an FCC filing.

Unfortunately, Microsoft stopped short of revealing anything, well, new. No release date, no price – nothing.

So, uh, as you were, then.

The FCC has revealed through recent filings that its currently testing a wireless 802.11N Wi-FI adapterfor Xbox 360.

According to testing from the FCC, wireless speeds will be faster and a second antenna is included on the gadget to improve reception and is attached to the console through a USB port.

While no announcement has been forthcoming from Microsoft on the matter, the FCC filing has occurred within a few weeks of the 360 fall update which will bring 1080p Zune video compatibility along with the existing Netflix HD.

The full details from the FCC can be found through the link.
