- Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2010The hardest part about this device is getting it out of the package! An exacto knife took care of that!
I plugged it in, followed the directions, and in 5 minutes, I was online! I love this thing.
Ya, it's $[...], but for that price I now not only play the games online, but I have Zune for free, with all the History, Discovery, National Geographic channel shows, and a bunch of TV show seasons I've wanted to see. If you have Netflix, you can also watch movies, and even more great shows, on your big TV, not the computer screen! without having to wait for them to come in the mail. Watch 10 a day if you want to. There isn't a limit.
For me, this little thing paid for itself, as I'm not buying movies on demand for the kids anymore, and again, if I want to see a movie, NOW, I can without waiting for it to come up on my Netflix cue.
Great device, easy setup, (Important to me, as I am NOT a techie), and X Box offers great features once you're on line with them.
Highly recommended! I wish I had done it sooner. I'm off to go watch the Civil War series.
Enjoy!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2010I bought this thing about a year ago to attach to an XBOX that gets light use most of the time, and heavy use during holidays and vacations when the younger set arrives. As for the product, it has worked great, no problems. I paid a bit more for it than I felt it was worth, but, like others have noted, the lack of hassle in hooking it up was appreciated, and who has time to fool around trying to get something to work? Better to just suck it up and fork over the dough, and avoid the agony.
I stopped in to write this review because in glancing at the description of this item while looking for other XBOX accoutrements, I noted that this product is now advertised as "A/B/G Networks Only"--it didn't say that when I bought mine, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. Why? I have an "N" network and it predates my purchase of this product. FWIW, when I made my purchase, there was no "N" adapter offered for sale, and the adapter I purchased worked, and still is working, JUST FINE on my "N" network.
I also notice that the "N" network version is a bit pricier than this one. Perhaps some expert can weigh in and tell us why the "N" version, at an additional cost, is better, but I simply wanted to report that my experience is that this particular adapter worked and continues to work with no issues on my "N" network.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2009First of all, the very fact that this is a product is horrible! Sony and Nintendo both offer wireless internet access built into their consoles, so why should Microsoft sell wireless connectivity for a giant $100!? Just when you thought paying an annual fee just to play your games online was bad enough...
Anyway, this product may not be worth the fortune Microsoft demands for it. I bought not one, but TWO of these darn adapters and not one of them worked! That's $200 out of my pockets and into Microsoft's swimming pool of money! My 360 is pretty far from my router, but I decided to buy a whopping 100 ft Ethernet cable from Amazon for the low, low price of only $11. That's a HUGE saving from that wireless scam Microsoft is pulling! What's better: spending $11 on something that works, or $100 on something that may or may not work? I think we all know what the better deal is.
In Microsoft's defense, the adapter is meant to work and people who bought it and got it to work say it's a great device. Just be warned that there's a chance it won't cooperate with your need to go online on your Xbox and an Ethernet cable can easily fix the problem.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2015This wireless network adapter worked great out of the box and was easy to install on the Xbox 360. You literally plug in the USB and snap it to the back. I haven't had any connectivity issues and the wireless networks setup through the Xbox interface was SUPER EASY.
The adapter is really compact and fits onto the back of the Xbox 360 like it's hardly there. It works for 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g wireless routers and access points. I haven't had a signal drop, even from the opposite side of my home.
My only complaint is the price, this costs as much as many home wireless routers! If you take in all of the benefits and utilize Xbox live enough, I suppose you can rationalize it. Being cord-free is pretty nice too.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2010Pros: Small. 1-5 minute installation, depending on how smart or dumb you are. Always On. It completes your LIVE experience. You can take your 360 anywhere where there is a TV & a wireless nonsecured signal.
Cons: Microsoft likes to give us choices....... how sweet.. It would have been better if they had just included the damn thing inside the 360. PS3 and Wii did good. (One clap for them both).
Summary: I bought this piece of white and gray beauty. I love it. It took me like a minute to set up. It actually took me longer to find some scissors and cut my way throught the damn packaging. Then the installation process which should not exceed 5 minutes, unless your home network sucks or you're just plain stupid. Well, I have nothing more to say, except that I wish it had been intergrated into the sstem like the other two competitors did into theirs. Oh, and that I STRONGLY RECOMMEND The Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter to anyone who has a 360 or is planning to purchase one in the near future.
PS. Microsoft,you bastards. I could have spent the money I used to buy this sexy beast to buy two of your 360 games. That's all I have to say. I Love you MS.
