Few questions about the wireless adapter...

1.is it simple to set up?

how long does it take?

2.sense i dont have a wireless router in my home can it pick up a connection from somewhere else?

My friends didnt have a router and they got a network from somewhere else so i know its possible, but does it pick it up all the time,when u setted up yours did it pick up a network from somewhere else?

3.is it a reliable

Even tho my enternet(my pc)stays on for longs periods of time there is a time where something might come up and my mom cant pay the enternet,which is the reason i want a adapter so i dont have to rely on my enternet to stay on, so i need to know does the adapter usually break have yours ever broke?

4.How many connections?

When setting up your adapter how many connections did u get,is there a limt of how many connections the adapter can pick up?

5.in your opinon is it simply worth the $100 spent?

How did u feel after setting it up and playing on the connection, did u regret it? or did u feel its a great buy and felt u would reccommend it to anyone.

thx to all who reply;)

@Sonny360Elite:

i played my DS lite online before and i connected to a access point wirelessly, so i can connect to that access point with the adapter right? and the 360 wireless adapter has to have a stronger search for a access point than a DS im sure, so it should pick that access point up with no problem right?

thx

Yes it's very simple and reliable. Worth the money. I have had no issues with it whatsoever and lag is almost never an issue unless someone is sucking up all the bandwidth in your house. So yes I would highly suggest it.

2. Possibly you can find a connection. There isn't a definite answer to this and all depends on if anyone is using a wireless router in your area. Most wireless connections have a WEP security code which is up to 8 digits in order to connect to their internet connection, so you won't be able to use those connections.

Most connections use WPA now due to how insecure WEP was. WPA keys vary in length.

5. Not really worth $100. Why? Because there is a new wireless adapter coming out before the end of the year which is supposed to give a much bette connection (it's what I'm waiting on) The wireless N adapter. However, the current wireless adapter is now being sold on Amazon for $75 new and you can possibly even find it for $70 new right now. The price is dropping with the new wireless-n coming out so you should be able to get one new for about $70

The wireless N would only be worth it if you can use the extra speed. If the router only goes up to G, then there's no point in waiting for the N because it'll still only be working at G speeds.Sonny360Elite

Def. Worth it...no problems with mine

The official Xbox 360 wireless adapter is extremely overpriced. I use a Netgear adapter I bought years ago for my original Xbox for like $25 on sale at circuit city and I don't experience any lag or anything. In fact, I get everything I stream on netflix in HD if it's offered. The only problem I've had is that I have to do a quick connection test every time I turn on the console. And I'm not even sure if the official adapter would fix that... it might just be some kind of DNS thing in my settings or something. And even if it did fix it... I'd rather suffer the minor inconvenience of having to do a 20-second connection test than shell out a hundred bucks for something that should cost no more than half that.

I'd suggest looking online and seeing which third party gaming adapters work with the 360 and picking up an inexpensive one. There's absolutely no reason that a wireless adapter like the one they're selling should be priced at $100. And definitely don't spend that much if you're not even sure if there's any bandwidth to steal in your neighborhood.
