Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter
I received this product as used from an Amazon.com associate. Its purpose is to allow an XBOX 360 get access to the internet and to get on the Xbox live system. It has performed flawlessly. I was able to link up via my wireless LAN and get on to XBOX Live. I even was able to download one of the videos that are available at that site. It works great and I saved about [...] bucks by not purchasing this item new.

Good wireless adapter
I bought this Nov-2007 to allow my son-in-laws xbox to talk to my network so we could use xbox live. Then Christmas 2007 I got my xbox and have been using this since then. My son-in-law just bought one for his xbox at his new house.
Now that is the setup for the following just so you understand the setup. Mine has functioned flawlessly ever since I got it. It works with my older secured D-Link router just fine. I am running 802.11g, and have never had problems with my xbox online that I could say was my network connection. The xbox makes setup sort of easy, as easy as any wireless connection I guess, not saying that in itself is easy. If you are running a secured wireless router (and you should be) just make sure you select the proper security and password. My xbox is only 10 feet or so from my router, but through a wooden TV cabinet and a couple interior walls.
My son-in-laws is another story, is one reason I brought that up. He has a new house, and his d-link N series router is on the second the floor, in the far corner of the farthest bedroom he can get from his xbox. His xbox is on the first floor, in the opposite corner of his house. All the attic "stuff" like A/C and Furnace, is between his xbox and the router. We were playing four people on xbox live with no problem we could attribute to his network connection, even though my wife was using my laptop wireless also at the time and surfing the net. I would say line-of-sight between his router and his xbox is about 70 feet give or take, but has 4 or 5 walls, a floor plus the attic "stuff" in between.
One thing I like about this product is it hooks into the xbox, no external power source is required, and if you pack up your xbox to take somewhere else, it just goes along for the ride without a second thought.
Sure built in would be a better option, but it is what it is and even though I think this is pretty over priced, it is still a really good option.
