Title: Wireless adapter
Post by: UnagiPower on September 23, 2007, 05:45:33 AM
I want to play Xbox Live, but I don't have an Ethernet cable long enough. I was going to get the official Xbox 360 wireless adapter but it costs $100. Is there a cheaper alternative?

The official one looks like this:

I don't think there is a wire that can reach from my basement to a whole floor up.  psyduck;

Yeah they are. I know we have cables going through the walls, but going through the floor/ceiling is a whole 'nother deal.

They probably do make them long enough, look around, you can always tape it against the floor/wall so it's out of the way.

I have the wireless adaptor.

Sometimes, it doesn't feel like working, but when it is working, I always get 4 bars.

Any USB wireless adapter will work.

I know, I made this thread asking for any cheap ones.
