Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter Review

360 is within the basement, router is on the 2nd floor. My main reason for upgrading was as a result of whereas watching streaming netflix movies, it'd stop and downgrade the standard to stay up with the streaming movie. this does not happen on my laptop or after I moved the 360 one floor nearer to the router.

The package comes with an guide, installation cd and also the adapter. The CD sleeve tells you to place it in initial before connecting the adapter. I place it into my 360 and it simply stared at me. most likely as a result of I had already downloaded the most recent 360 update through Live. The directions weren't clear on this however I feel it's for folks that haven't updated their 360 and want the WPA2 configuration put in to run wireless n. To clarify, to use wireless N you need to use WPA or WPA2. you can't use WEP encryption. If you are doing not amendment it on your router configuration, this adapter can run in ABG solely. NOT N. you need to even have a wireless N compatible router to run at wireless n speeds (duh).

I already had the older MS ABG adapter wirelessly connected to my 360 and linked to my router, thus I simply shut it down, unplugged the usb cable and plugged this one in instead. Rebooted and ran "test association" and it kept the recent configuration memory of the connection settings (MAC and ip addresses, passwords, WPA2, etc), except it connected full "4 bars" robust and stated the association sort was n rather than g. I checked this on the router moreover through my laptop. association speeds had varied from twenty eight to fifty four mb/s however currently jumped to fifty two to 108 mb/s. Tested the unit completely with MW2. No hiccups in voice or association issues with server throughout multiplayer or spec ops. conjointly tested netflix streaming. No issues here either. Watched a full movie with no recalibration/interuption. This has never happened before even on an honest day.

The adapter comes with very little fold out feet on the lowest thus you'll be able to stand it remotely if you get a usb extension cable. terribly handy feature if your 360 is buried in an entertainment rack.
