What's great about it: Easy to install
What's not so great: Range
My XBox360 is literally less than 20 feet from my router and it has a hard time streaming. It says its because the signal strength is low. 20 feet!!
Since its the only wireless connector for the xbox I'm stuck with it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Got this as a gift for my young nephew. He had no problems setting it up and was able to organize his entertainment center. This made his mom very happy. No more network cables for people to step over walking into the TV room.

What's great about it: it was very easy to set up, provides good connection
What's not so great: way over priced
this product was fair. it was easy to set up.(just plug it in!). it provides movies, music, downloads etc. BUT...... it is really over priced. i think it should of been cheaper due to buying other products with it (gold membership, Microsoft points). but i think it was great anyway.

outside of the $99 price tag, this was easy to set up. you simply plug it into your xbox go to your system settings and enter your wifi information, test the connection and you're on-line wirelessly

What's great about it: compact size
What's not so great: price
The Good - the xBox has a spot on the back that the USB plugs into and holes that allow the adapter to latch on. There's really no need to take it off.
The Bad - I had to dumb down the wireless modem (WRT54G) security settings to get the adapter to see the WIFI.
The Ugly - If you're uncomfortable spending $100 for a wireless adapter, then this isn't for you. If you're always on the go (like me) and you're xbox is connected to your hip, it's well worth it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's not so great: Piece Of JUNK!!!!
I bought this a little over a year ago and it worked fine for the first year. No problems. It was a little difficult to hook up, but I figured it out. Like I said, it worked fine for the first year and then after that I have had nothing but problems with it. Slow connection and always signing out of XBOX LIVE. I bought the most expensive Netgear router and our computer is wireless and works fine, so I know I dont have router problems.
For the money it is WAY to expensive. You are better off just buying another Modem and only spending $80.00. After you buy another Modem get a two way spliter and split the cable box from the T.V to the Modem. Then hardwire the xbox360 to the new Modem. Anytime you can hardwire a connection it is ALWAYS better. I have done this and have had no problems.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: you don't need to be close to a place to plug it in
What's not so great: you need a good network to connect to
Well i've been using this thing for about 6 months and it's worked fine... EXCEPT when there is a bad connection to a network. If I was asked if i would pay 100 bucks for it, i would want to pay less. I got mine on sale for $75 at best buy and it's great. Another thing is that what i've noticed is that if you have a computer and you're on it or someone else is on the network it is much slower. Now i'm not sure if it's just the games or if its the network so just heads up if you're going to buy this. Other than that it works great. ;). Peace Out!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Instead of buying this you can bridge your xbox through your computer. Also you can buy a simple usb wireless adapter that does the same thing for much less.

What's great about it: wireless
What's not so great: price
compared to other wireless usb network adapters, this is tooooooo expensive, but it works, as i always say, its ms and they make stuff to math their console, but you have to pay for it
apart, if you dont own a good router, sometimes youl get disconnected, its like a lil more sensitive than a pc adapter, watch out !!

What's great about it: It allows you to play X-Box online with others.
What's not so great: You HAVE to have it.
The only reason I would recommend this to a friend is because if you cannot hook up a wire ALL the way through your house, you're out of luck. This also applies if you don't have wireless internet or a really long cord. Its unfortunate that both PS3 and the Wii have this same feature built into their console. No wires, no plugs, no set up. Plug in and play anywhere wireless is available.
The cost is absolutely ridiculous. Its $100 for something that is built into other gaming consoles. This adapter does nothing but plug into the back of your console. That's it. No fancy lights. It doesn't make you breakfast. It does nothing more than weakly capture the signal of the internet when its down the hall from you or in the same house. I'm not trying to pick up my neighbor's internet and it still gives me 1 or 2 bars when I'm 50 feet way. Consider it an automatic price that has to be tacked onto the cost of the console if you don't meet the conditions above. Go get it...only cause you have to. Use the cords if possible. It can really save you some money.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: easy connectivity
What's not so great: price
This wireless adapter is pretty good. It connects easily to your router. You plug it into the back of the console and then it instantly connects to any router within its range. The only bad thing is the price. I mean 100$$$$. WOW! But get the product anyways because it is really worth it. See you on LIVE.

What's great about it: Easy to install and set up
What's not so great: No WPA2 security support, low reliability
This adapter functions well enough to get you connected. However, the security type is misrepresented as WPA2 capable when it only supports WEP and WPA security. Aditionally, the adapter fails to power-on during system start-up and requires you to unplug and plug in the adapter to initialize it (this may be just mine, but it is mentioned in the support section on the product web site). Other than that, as I said, it does it's job, though there are other options available.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: No cables to route through your house
What's not so great: A little expensive
This is the solution for the modem/hub that is upstairs while your console sits downstairs, and well you dont want to run 100' of cable through your house, under the carpet and essentially poking through your ceiling. The range is amazing, basically sets itself up. My XBox is at least 50+ feet away and downstairs and I always have full bar connectivity with my 2wire modem. And it clips to the back....unseen. A must have!!

What's great about it: It works and its out of the way, isn't that what you want?
What's not so great: The many hopes that shall be cut down by lack of knowledge.
First...and O most certainly foremost. Also have a wirless internet router, or its a paper weight. sorry. Other than that, not much to really say about it. (umm...looks cool.) But do not worry...wirless routers do not cost WAY to much.
A+ does what you want...there you go JUMP IN
