XBox360 wifi

[thekirbyfake]

I've moved house and I'll be moving my router to another room so I'll need a wireless connection for my 360.

Microsoft's one seems to be £60-70 which is pretty steep for what it is.

I've got a spare unused router at home so can I just connect it to the 360 via an ethernet and then add in to my home wireless network?

Yes creating a wireless bridge should work fine. Plenty of tutorials on how to create a wireless bridge on the net.

I have seen the 360 wireless adaptor for £50, but I do admit it is a tad overpriced for what it is.

I'll be having a nas as part of my home wifi. Will I be able to use the 360 to stream videos from my nas onto my tv?

i just got the genuine MS one - its only £50 and less likely to have latency issues..

Where did you get it for £50 Ian?

Might just give my spare router a try and then go for the Microsoft one if it gives me any problems.

netgear powerline ethernet adapters work a treat

I have a spare unopened MS wireless connector (was free with my BT broadband) if anyone's in the Reading area... I'm sure I could let that go for a nominal(ish!) charge.

You can get them second hand from GAME for £44.99. I got mine from there. Brand new, just not in the box.
