Going Wireless on the 360

[zamboni]

Don't really want to buy an expensive adapter- any other options to go wireless? Moved the 360 to the bedroom, where my router is

BTW, I do NOT have a laptop.

If you're router is in the room why not hardwire it? It will be faster and more reliable.

If you find out a solution to the wireless problem, let me know. I have my router on the main floor and my xbox in the basement. No way to hardwire it and I don't want to buy a $100 antennae. That's ridiculous, but par for the course with Microsoft.

I have an ethernet running straight out the door to the PS3- the 360 in the bedroom is in a touchier spot. Even though in the same room, there will be a wire running across the floor. I can imagine in the middle of the night snagging it and pulling the 360 down to the floor.

You can buy patch cables in differing lengths, get one long enough to run the trim around the floor.

I found mine on the list for 25 bucks. Works just fine. The white one is the older one. I wouldn't pay more then 50 bucks for it unless it is still in the packaging. The black one with two antennas is the newest one. There are several on the list. I just checked. If you contact someone make sure they have an 360 or something to test it. I never tested mine before I bought it, but I also only paid 25 for it so I didn't care if it didn't work.

There is no around the floor. It is across the floor, unfortunately.

across the ceiling?

Powerline Ethernet Adapters? Never used them, but they work.

I worked for a place that used data over powerlines, worked, but worked very poorly, very unreliable.

I have never used it, but have read quite a few reviews on some of the newer models that seem to work pretty well. Wouldn't be my first choice, but it wiring ethernet jacks is out, it is an option.

I am not so sure about in the house, but this was over long distance.

He only needs to get to the other room. These are made for in house wiring, not over the power grid.

I've used a linksys wireless N gaming adaptor. Set it up on a computer and then move it to the xbox and connect with a Ethernet cable.

I forgot about those. You can do this with a router capable of running DD-WRT firmware as well. You set it up as a wireless bridge and it will do the same thing. Many cheap wireless routers on the bay or list capable of running DD-WRT.

Or just by the 360 adapter off the list and be done with it
