Im currently running a ethernet cable from 360 to my wireless router , but tripped over it early so would like to go wireless.

Ive looked at the official adapter but dont fancy paying £55 for it! considering a wireless usb adaptor for my brothers pc cost £30.

Ive noticed some by linksys which connects via ethernet but has anyone used anything like it?

I have the Official MS Wireless adapter and I'd say it's well worth the £55, I know others will disagree though.

I'd stick with Ethernet if I could though. Nothing like it.

You can get an official one for £35 from CEX (http://www.cex.co.uk/product.php?sku=882224035699) if you have one local. I got mine from there and it was brand new in the heat shield re-entry packaging that you get in stores.

NOOOOO! official looks sooo much cooler (wit the clip on et al) and is easier to set up!

Both my 360's are connected via the Wireless adaptor, both work flawlessly and where setup in minutes.

Just run some wide masking tape over it, that'll keep it down and non-tripable. Thats what I do, and thats alot cheaper ;)
