Customer Review: Worked for 2 weeks
Summary: 1 Stars
If you like being on the phone while kid sits and waits get one. I quit now wife has spent 4 hours two days in a row after 2 months of membership have laps. This is a joke and a waste of time and money. Xbox support wanted a coference call with my Inernet provider, LOL. I have 3 laptops all wireless and no issues, need a coference call with xbox management!!!!
Customer Review: It works, but security is tricky
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the only product I know of that works with the X-Box. It's overpriced, but it does work well. I am all for less clutter so the price was worth it for me.
The only issue with this device is you cannot change the security channel. What I mean is that I like to have my 128bit key on channels 2,3 or 4 but you MUST use channel 1 for this to work with your router (and your router must also have its 128bit key on channel 1).
Other than that, this is another fine hardware product from Microsoft.
Customer Review: Save your money. Buy the B variants

Don't buy this overpriced adapter from microsoft. The reasons for the extra $50 is the microsoft brand and the g format. You can play online without either of those. Buy the logitech 802.11b (wga11b). its half the price and does exactly the same thing. Don't worry about what the sales rep at best buy said, hes just trying to get you to spend the extra money.Customer Review: Response to previous person

I was reading this article to see if this device would be a good idea for my xbox. But the person before me asked a question which I would like to try to answer. Just to say I have the same router which works great. Now about the product. You can plug the xbox direct into this router with a ethernet cable if its close by. But if you want to put it somewhere else in your home you would buy this product. According to what I heard and my experience with other wireless products you just plug this device into your xbox find your network on the xbox controls (Also the xbox is suppoest to set itself up with this device) set your settings and play. Thats about it. It also doesnt matter that the makers are different the products should be compatiable because they both use the b and g standard as does your router. But before buying look at the things it says and compare to your router to be 100% sure you wont have problems getting the devices to communicate. Anyway hope this helps. Also before you buy this product you should shop around more on this website for similar products because you might find the same thing by a different maker for less. Anyway good luck.Customer Review: Astounding. Yet for how much?

This product is very amazing and helpful. It will only interfere with your other wireless items if they are on the same channel. Consult your wireless router guide to find out how to switch channels. The only thing odd about it is that it costs 100$. You can find other wireless adapters for a lot less.
