Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter

[Niliscro]

Before I cough up the money to buy one (although I do hope to find a deal on ebay), I have a couple of questions about the device that hopefully some of you guys can answer:

1)  How fast is fast?  I've heard that the connection is great, but I'll be on the second floor of my house, with the wireless signal below me on the 1st floor.

2)  N or G?  My router's box says "Works with wireless G, great with wireless N".  This is a little vague as far as determining which type to use, so I'd like some of your interpretations.

Thanks

Well since the Xbox 360 is basically a computer without the "computer" part I would say go for it.

(Nope, I don't have an Xbox, sue me)

1) The one I use at my dad's house craps out if there's too many walls between the xbox and the router, but there's two different ones, from what I've seen.  I use one that has one little antenna sticking up, and I've seen one with two.  I'm guessing the one with two is stronger.

2) don't know what to tell you.

I'd do it. Get the black wireless N one.

I connected my laptop to the xbox and bridged the connections and used the wireless from my laptop, it is easy and saves from getting an adapter if you have a laptop near the xbox.

There are actually 2 and they cost the same but the black one is apparently "faster, stronger, and more secure"

I have wireless internet, But not WI-FI.

What the forget?

The black one is Wireless N, the other is G and lower. The other one, not the black, can not receive wireless N.

I have it and couldn't get it to work lol.
I'm sure I have old drivers or some other simple mistake, but never tried again.

If its just for pc gaming, just get the corded gamepad lol (no not the wireless with the removable charging wire, the real hardwire controller)
I mean, how far are you sitting from your computer anyways. The magic of wireless technology isn't always needed. Function up

He's talking about connecting his 360 to a wireless network, not getting a wireless controller to connect to his PC.

N is better than G?
I always thought it to be the other way around.

N is better than G by far.
