Question for people with the Wireless Network Adapter

I'm thinking of buying a Wireless Network Adapter, but I have some concerns. First of all, how fast is the connection? A friend told me that he is not able to host online games when using the adapter. Secondly, can it reach through two floors? I have been able to get a signal on my DS in my basement, so I'm assuming this won't be a problem.

My only other option is to run a rediculously long cable up two flights of stairs and down two hallways, so I'll probably buy the adapter no matter what. Still, I would like to know how good of a connection I will get.

I have a wireless adapter and it works fine. No trouble hosting online games and whatnot. But then again, my adapter is on the same floor, so I am not sure how effective it is through two floors. Sorry

ive been thinking of getting one out of practicality. im likely getting a multiplayer game soon, and ihave the orange box. plus, im up two flights of stairs from my router.

whats a "good router"? when you say good, do you refer to how fast the connection is (my laptop and my brothers ds work great up here, although not the same for the wii) or are you referring to the router itself? (my adaptor came with our broadband so it may not be the best out there)

I had a netgear n- next router... had nat problems, but I read directions on configuring port forwarding which resolved the issue.. it runs super fast now.

I'd say Linksys or Dlink. There are some routers that will give you NAT issues. There's a list somewhere on the xbox.com site with routers that will definitely work. I don't know if it's been updated but that would be a good place to start. There are also routers that have that Xbox Live certified sticker if you look around.smokeypotts
