Are you looking for an Xbox 360 wireless network adapter alternative? Microsoft’s Xbox 360 game console is without a doubt the best system on the market right now. Sporting a large choice of games and a dedicated community of users on Xbox Live, the first of the current generation consoles has been able to score higher on both user reviews and product sales when compared to its competitors.
To make matters worse the Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter is expensive, ringing in at a price between $80 (when on sale) to as high as $120! If you just purchased a new Xbox system and are not looking to cough up the extra coin to pay for the official adapter then you’re going to need an Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter Alternative.
Plug one into the power outlet next to your Xbox console and plug the other one into the power outlet next year broadband router. Use a small Ethernet cable to connect your Xbox console to the first transceiver and another to connect your broadband router to the second transceiver. With this done you are now able to connect your Xbox to your router using the electric power cables in your home.
Unfortunately, buying the transceivers can cost almost as much as the adapter itself. While this will help you save a little bit of money it’s still a relatively high cost method of connecting to Xbox Live.
The best solution is to “borrow” the existing wireless connection of your laptop computer. Simply by placing the laptop computer next to your Xbox 360 game console and connecting the two together with a standard ethernet cable, you can bridge your computer’s connection from its wireless card to its LAN card and be gaming online in as little as five minutes.
