Hi there, my xbox is downstairs, and rather than wire it up to my hub, id like to use my WIFI to connect to it.
I hear that MS are releasing an official xbox wifi bridge around Christmas..
but there are a lot of devices that plug into any ethernet port,.. connecting to wifi,. no drivers or anuything neeeded..

does anyone have one of these for sale or trade, or where would be the cheapest place to get one ??

thanks for any info u can shed on this,
paul

how well does it work?
does it automatically work on xbox? does xbox see the shared adsl or whatever over wifi ?
thanks for info

hi there, just bought one :)
cost me £73.43 from dabs.com
postage on other sites was more expensive to n.ireland
i got to keep the cost a bit of a secret from the wife..
so far this weekend, ive got xbox, few games, and the mod chip :/
better stop buying stuff...

is his xbox far away from his pc wifi card ?
at max speed its 11mbs, this is slower than the probable max speed of 100mbs to the box when using an ethernet cable, but shouhjldnt be any slow down on xbox live, as adsl/cable aint that fast in comparison to file transfers..
ill know soon :)
