A question about : Any Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter Alternatives?

Are there any cheaper than the Microsoft one as I'm considering getting one

Best answers:

• Could try this :

• Also consider if you can move your router to nearer the Xbox, I bought a wifi adapter and then realised I could have moved the router, so I did and returned the adapter
• i think you can use an ethernet bridge
• There are 4 ways to connect the 360 to the internet.
  the official wireless addaptor which is expensive
  a wireless bridge, buy an inexpensive wireless router and use it to bridge to your existing wireless network, as it uses the network port on your 360 it doesnt need drivers so it just works.
  there is an alternative wireless adaptor that some how works with the drivers in the 360. I just can't find the link to it, search for posts by me with xbox 360 or somthing I have posted it before. it
  or useing a network cable, there are loads of options to do that, lan over power gets round the running of network cables if the 360 is in an alternative room to your router.

• There is a Belkin wireless bridge on ebuyer for 38quid or so inc VAT though l would rather avoid the hassle and pay the extra 18quid and lose a power socket. Maybe wait for a special on the MS version??

  PS I am looking for this wireless adapter cheap. Any1 know if it will do WPA-PSK encryption?
• not sure I think its WEP or maybe thats my bt home hub, but it does have something on it as when you go into settings on your 360 its there,

• I just checked my official wireless adaptor and tried to connect to a neighbours WPA enabled router and it just asks for the key so it should work no problem.
  The console looks alot nicer with the oficial one just clipped to the back of the console rather than any other thing sat at the side, using a bridge would also require an extra power socket and more wires. no messing with configuration or anything it just works.
• Yeah I took a similar line of thought. I got the official adapter for Ј50, which is pricey but it works flawlessly. And clips in very easily.
• yes the 360 wireless adaptor works with wpa-psk fine as this is what i use
• HI I HAVE FOUND THIS;

  (YOU MIGHT HAVE TO PUT THE # AT THE END)
  THIS HAS A WIFI ADAPTER FOR Ј8 +P&P WHICH IS BETTER THAN 60-90 FO THE XBOX ONE.
  IT IS THE ONE WITH THE BLUE LID AND IF YOU TYPE XBOX 360 AND THEN THE WIFI ADAPTER ICON IT WILL SHOW YOU ALLL THE ADAPTERS THAT WORK
  PLEASE RATE IF USEFUL.

• This just came up in my subscribed forums and i did find a solution and moved house not specifically for the xbox mind
• Hey, Can anyone tell if this is the wireless adapter with the blue lid that people have been talking about and if it is how do I set it up if I buy it?

  Thank you
• I measured the distance from the router to my xbox, went to maplin and then bought the correct length cable. It worked out much cheaper, nailed over the doors means that I don't trip over it and I have had no problems with no connection (which I presume much surely be a problem with wireless adaptors)
• HI I have just looked at the adapter on the site and there is one for Ј6.99 which says its compatible with xbox etc. would this be the one i need to purchase please.
  Does this plug into the back of the xbox where the official one should ?.
  I am currently using the cable which i find sufficient but my brother is about to purchase an xbox and this will be much better for him to use and im very surprised to find such a cheap alternative to the Ј59.99 one.
  Does this really work ?
• I have just read this thread and I too am wondering if the cheaper wireless adaptor would work with the xbox 360? Any ideas please? Many thanks Mags
• you can get the official xbox adaptor for only Ј33.97 here. Kyresa posted about it the other day
