Hi guys, just got a new wireless N router for the house. At present i have one of the old wirless adaptors on my xbox 360 which is about 3 metres away from the router. When i tune the network for media centre i get to the last bar of suitable for tv on the bar chart, but i can't get into the suitable for HD bands. Now the question i'm thinking now is, is it worth paying out for a new wireless N adaptor or going back to an old school wired connection? Does anybody still use a wired connection? What sort of performance you getting, theoretically it should be excellent, but i've read posts where people say they have no connection issues with wireless, but get problems with wired, i can't see that this is true, but there can be gremlins in anything i guess, so please discuss

Um, no. If your connection goes down when your computer crashes, you are doing it wrong.
If you can go wired, do that. For most single floor houses, apartments, dorm rooms, the normal G adapter is fine. If your wireless router is on the other side of your house, or you are only getting a single bar for some reason, change the location of your router, or go with an N.

I like wired connection best if its an option but for me its not without laying cable all over my floor so I use wireless and it makes things alot easier with no noticable difference.
