Help... I want to wireless enable my xbox 360

But i don't want to pay more than i have to i.e This.
Is there a cheaper alternative? I hear the words 'wireless ethernet bridge' but not sure what that means, nor what is compatiable.
I have a D-Link DSL-G604T Modem/router.

Any advise would be appreciated.

    I presume you will just plug the connector into your 360 and it should pick up the wireless signal.

    I was going to purchase one but in the end I decided to wire it up to my wireless router and save £55 on purchasing the adapter so the money can go to an extra game.

    My router is in my bedroom so it is no big problem having it wired but if your router is not in the same room it will be easier to have the wireless adapter
  • ive got mines connected up with my router, no problems at all.

  • I have mine wired up already, but i'm restricted by the length of the cable as to the positoning of my pc. Also our little kitten is finding the lead very attractive and the router has toppled over once already. Hence wanting to get connected wirelessly.
  • You'd be better off buying one of these:

    because if you decide to sell the Xbox, you can still use it with other consoles or even a PC to connect to a wireless network. £45 in PC World but if you want to buy one a bit cheaper, PM me !
  • This or this. But note the latter only has 128bit WEP.

    :cool:
