Excellent Investment
True - £50-60 is a good deal of money to splash out on one little bit of kit. But boy, is it worth it! I can connect to Xbox LIVE wired or wirelessly, and the ONLY sure-fire way to connect without any wires is this little beauty.

The investment is definetly worth it. If you want/need wireless connection to LIVE, this is the way forward.

Job Done
I'm just going to reiterate what people here have been saying. I got this, plugged it in, it detected my network and I was online in a few minutes. DONE!

The reception is very good even between 2 walls and a ceiling. The instructions are rubbish but it's quite simple (go to network settings, EDit settings, Network Type (or something), input WEP key DONE!

The only real downside is the COST! However, this appears to be quality bit of kit & stops my wife from complaining about the wires.

Wireless bridge- costly, but reliable and worth it.
How much of a hit this product will be with you depends on how simple you find it to set your console up to your network.It took me weeks. However, it took me weeks with a D-Link router, to work with with this bridge, and it never worked properly, but it took minutes to set it up with a netgear router. Since then it has worked fine, and opened up X-box live to me. Get it if:
You can't really get wired
You are good with computers and networks or know someone who is
You have a good router ( i recommend Netgear ADSL2)
((( I rated this products fun on xbox lives fun, and i took a star off for price and how long it took me to set it up.

Totally unreliable
Well, I would have to agree with pretty much all the previous reviews, the positive ones mention all the good points and the negative ones mention pretty much all the problems I've found.
On the plus side the adaptor is very easy to set up, and at times it works perfectly. Unfortunately the majority of the time it lags like mad and becomes totally unusable. There doesn't seem to be any reason why it switches between the two, making it extra frustrating. Overpriced to start with, it's just not worth the money.

Update: Here is something you might like to know. If you own a laptop with wireless internet you can actually use this to connect your xbox to the internet! Just set your laptop to allow shared connections and run an ethernet cable between the laptop and the xbox. I didn't realise you could do this but it works perfectly, no lag, no random crashes, it only ever goes wrong when there is a problem with my network! I can't believe microsoft are flogging this adaptor when all you need is the cable that comes with your xbox. I'm assuming if you have a wireless network most of you will have a wireless capable computer so for most of you this is £60 totally wasted!

exactly what it says on the tin
it seems a shame that microsoft feels the need to squeeze every last penny out of us, i dont belive the ps3 needs one of these things, but this bridge is good, very simple to use just plug it in the back and it even clips onto your xbox. it certainly saves having a thick black wire trailing through your house. This bridge is as good as your wireless...i can pick up 6 differnt wireless networks from my room: two of which is guessed the password for :)

in my opinion this could be abit cheaper but there is no point shopping around cuz this is the going rate (even after 3 years!)
