 Works well if you have your router set right November 21, 2009
M. Owens (El Dorado Hills, CA United States)
I was getting ready to ship this adapter back after two days of tinkering with my network to get it to work with no results. My old Xbox wireless-g adapter worked fine, albeit with marginal connectivity and speed. I upgraded to this wireless-n adapter to solve those problems but found that it worked so poorly that I barely had a connection and couldn't use media center at all.
I spent two days tweaking everything I could think of on my network and then, as a last resort, I just switched my router (Linksys WRT330N) to operate in the 20MHz band instead of the 40, where I had it set previously. That was all it took, and now it works great with a strong signal. So, if the adapter doesn't work for you, make sure your router isn't set for wide-40MHz channel.
 a few frustrating minutes - but wireless goodness at last November 21, 2009

I had my system set to launch to the dashboard by default, and it was reading the driver disk as "mixed media disk." At first i powered off the system, but no luck when i turned it back on. It kept reading "mixed media" and wouldn't play the disk. I had to set it to load to disk by default and power off the system. When it came back on, it read the disk and everything else was groovy. The troubleshooting section of the manual didn't have this info. It was just a few frustrating minutes, but frustrating nonetheless. Other than that, all is well.

Optimum performance - Buy it! November 20, 2009
David L. Betancourt (Montana)
The XBOX 360 Wireless N Adapter performs beyond expectations. The connectivity test on XBOX LIVE registers at 4 out of 4 bars. We also tested our wireless network map and it read at the 100% signal level. The physical distance between the router and XBOX wireless adapter is about 18 feet with a wall separating the devices. Thus far we are enjoying lag free wireless gaming.
Microsoft has released a product which outperforms any on the market. Our experience with other XBOX 360 compatible wireless gaming adapters was not a positive one (Please note other review). We highly recommend this product.
Pricey but effective and completely worth the upgrade!!! November 19, 2009

Bandwidth is what we all need with HD over IP becoming a reality. This adapter definitely fits the bill with the extra gain in speed that is achieved. If you are an XBOX 360 user and use it as a media device to stream your content and or Netflix, etc...then this is something that you absolutely must get. We are using our 360's for Netflix more and more and with the addition of the new PlayTo features in Windows 7 the 360 is becoming the center piece of our home theater and family room. Naturally the old wireless adapter worked well but there were some delays and sluggish performance...with the addition of Wireless-N to this adapter the delays and sluggish behavior has all but disappeared and the performance is awesome.
My only negative is the price....in the end its a simple wireless-n adapter with a USB cable on it...why not make it cheaper and let more people enjoy the ecosystem that now exists for multimedia streaming. Are you listening Microsoft???
5/5 - even with the price - but it could sell a whole lot more and get adopted faster if the price was in the 49.99 area.
If you have any questions about this device and or need more information, please comment and I will answer as soon as I can.
