Have amended my review score from a 2 to a 4.The package provides the installation files for Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter Driver version 19.16.17.976. Update - it turned out the problem was my old (but not that old) netgear router - works fine with new one, but still disappointed functionality wasnt built in by Microsoft. For now I'll just have to put up with the intermittent performance & keep on troubleshooting step by step improvements until it does what it's supposed to, reliably. When it works it's great - just what I was after & sort of what Microsoft promised - but I'm sickened by Microsofts 'add on' approach to such accessories - numerous friends have the ps3 and recommend it highly for online gaming but also the media streaming - if I hadnt invested so much in my Xbox360 and games I'd go and buy a ps3. Access via the adaptor to Xbox live can also be intermittent but is generally much more reliable than the pc media streaming function. However it seems to work intermittently as a media streamer (even when switching my anti-virus firewall off) much to my frustration.

I tinkered with dozens of variables to find what the problem might be and it appeared to be my anti-virus software firewall - when I disable this (though I dont really want to, but have no choice as I'm not able to set a permanent 'exception' for some reason) it works. Online play is at a good speed, and if you cant stand the sight of your ethernet cable, this product is DEFINATELY for you.Īfter spending ages and ages and ages (Im literally talking about an accumulation of hours totalling a few weeks) I finally managed to get this to work. It manages to connect to xbox live very quickly, considering how far the router is from my room (30m+ with walls and stairs to contend with). The xbox will guide you through the process, and even offer you the chance to test the connection. Provided you have your WEP key, its still a simple job.
Green meaning you're good to go, or red means it requires a little more fiddling around. When you turn on the xbox, the light on the adapter turns either red or green. Simply had to clip it in to the back of my xbox and plug in the USB part.
Delivery was very quick too! Setting up this product couldn't have been easier. BUT NO MORE! Amazon are selling this product VERY VERY cheaply compared to other sites. My previous xbox live connection involved a red 25m ethernet cable that had to travel up the stairs and into my bedroom at the back of the house.
