Xbox network adaptor
 

Evening All

I want to get my son a wireless network adaptor for his Xbox360 but my question is do I need to use a genuine Microsoft one or not as they are extortionately expensive.

I can find a Datel adaptor which is compatible but is still £35, can I use an even cheaper one?

Yep any will do! You may get a touch of lag with games like COD, getting shot with invisible rounds and such but you get what you pay for, I paid 79euro's for the one on my old 60gb xbox and that was better than the built in one to the 260gb one I have now!

Difficult to tell with wireless. All depends on how good it is normally in Your house, if you've got interference then even the best stuff may not cope.

It will cope OK I have the PC hardwired to the modem by ethernet then 3 laptops, 3 android phones, a cheap android tablet, 2 Xboxes and a Smart TV all connected and everything works quickly, its just this extra xbox in his room that isn't connected.

I've got the genuine wireless
More stable TBH (mines a old one too). If you follow microsofts router set-up it'll work decent

What is MS router set up, it that when it says wireless network found etc?

No its porting on the router itself, was the only way mine would run with Telewest cable at the time. Most newer ISP provided ones won't allow you to do this (because most are ****e and locked out to the point that makes it useless)

Depends who your provider is as to whether you need to bother but it wouldn't work with three xboxes anyway.

Just plug the next one in like the others.

So in short I can use any wifi adaptor?
