I wanna get my xbox live. I have a Linksys router, but not sure which wireless adapter I need.
I saw this type on ebay 
what's the USB plug for? shouldn't it be ethernet type wiring? |

It picks up your wireless signal. Put in any security measures you've got any you're away.
The other option is to get an ethernet cable and hardwire the 360 to the router, which is what I do. | |

on that note, is around $60 shipped a good deal for one of these? | |

I tried wireless but the signal just drops all the time (admittedly that was from a PC). And that'll especially be the case through floors I think  | |

It's different for other people depending on how good their internet is, and if the wireless does the trick for you then just stick with it! If it keeps disconnecting you periodically and stuff (like my crappy wireless does) I'd consider drilling a hole if you intend to play online often. It can just get frustrating when you keep getting disconnected from Live all the time. | |

But if wireless is more convenient, go for it.

Join Date: Nov 2007 Posts: 3,137 Location: Boise, ID | As someone who's currently and always has been on a wireless connection, compared to my wired connection friends I have an awful connection. Absolutely awful. I'm thinking of moving my router and just making it a wired one just to see the improvement. | |
