Pricey but worth it.
After my mum was complaining that I was always using her TV I thought it was about time I took my 360 to my bedroom. The only problem was that I couldn't play online as my xbox was no where near my wireless router. So I had to take the plunge and splash out £50 to have the convenience of wireless. At first I thought the price was extorcionate but now I have no regrets. I can play on xbox live as much as I like now virtually lag free considering my router is at the other end of the house. If you are considering buying one just do it.
welcome to wireless
This is a nice item, and a must have if you have a wireless home network and want xbox live without miles of chunky grey cabling. It has a nice range, and works pretty much lag free even in between floors of houses, and I can even see my next door neighbour's wireless network. Very easy to set up, pop in your network details and away you go. I have known it not to work properly with a friend's router, from Belkin. However, another of my friends owns a belkin wireless router and it works perfectly. I use it with a BT voyager router and haven't looked back.
This is not a cheap piece of equipment by a long stretch, however i don't particularly find it overpriced, as wireless access points and wireless cards for pc are not much cheaper and are often much more of a hassle to set up. My verdict: It does what it is supposed to do without lag, and is easy to set up even for a complete beginner in wireless internet access. A top-hole item that i would highly recommend.
Excellent item but overpriced
Once I opened my 360 box and saw a great big chunky ethernet cable I decided I would need a wireless bridge. I was horrified to realise that it was so overpriced. Anything that has the xbox 360 name on adds on so much more money. However this is a very good bit of kit and is essential in my view. I am using the Voyager 2100 and as far as I know most routers are supported. The signal strength is excellent and I only have lag on FIFA: RTWC, which is an laggy game anyway (I never play it really lol). This wireless bridge is easy to install in a few simple steps. It even picked up my neighbours Belkin router!!! Overall a great product but I would wait if you can to see if it has a price drop.
