4 out of 5 stars Great piece of kit, though admittedly pointless   December 25, 2008

I say pointless as these days were typically expect the wireless capabilities of a gaming console to be built into it, not as a very overpriced add on. However, what you do get for your money (if you have a good internet connection) is quite decent.

Using the wireless bridge is quite simple, essentially taking it out of the packaging and plugging it into the back of your xbox, where it can sit quite happily. If connected properly a red light should appear on the device, and when the xbox is switched on you are automatically prompted to configure it. This process is also quite simple. It is also easy to find the mac address of the device, something that I find frustrating to locate sometimes.

Once configured you're in, and should sign into xbox live successfully.

Playing Gears of War 2 online was great, with very few if any lag even with 10 players in the match. Occasionally it would disconnect, however it would automatically reconnect, and after one week of owning the product I can confidently say that problem has ceased.
GTA4 online was also successful, though for some reason up to now the single player (unranked) deathmatch mode doesnt work, claiming connection can not be made. However all other modes including ranked single player deathmatch works perfectly, aside from all the noise you get in your headphones from frustrated players being killed.

So it works, and works well.

The pricetag is a bit much considering you have to buy xbox live gold to get the full experience, but the service provided lacks many of the flaws presented by other console's online experiences, such as ps3's annoying disconnections, and the wii's SUPERlag.

I do recommend this product highly though you may wish to consider shopping around for a smaller price or any package deals with xbox live subscriptions.

And now im off to play Left 4 dead online. Merry Christmas.



5 out of 5 stars Expensive but worth it   December 8, 2008
This is a very expensive product consedering that regular p.c. adaptors are much less. But this is a truly flawless adaptor that has not troubled me for the 2 years that i have used it, quick to set up i truly recomend it.

I live in an old house and have thick walls. Bought it and found the internet was terrible. however when closer it was alot clearer. however for cheaper you can buy theseMax Value 85 Mbps Home Plug, Double Unit Pack good value and no lag.

5 out of 5 stars Great product, terrible price   November 21, 2008

Very good product indeed. Took barely 5 minutes to set up and it receives great signal. The only negative thing I can think up for this product is that it is terribly overpriced. When I found out that the 360 had no wireless capabilities I wasn't too phased as I thought I could make do with the Ethernet cable. However after a while the cable can become troublesome and create a mess, this thing just clears it all up.
