[quote name='Destromas']The xbox adapter sucks. I have one collecting dust on my shelf if anyone wants it. But it has a lot of trouble with network recognition and it requires a ridiculous amount of power cycling just to get it to work correctly.[/quote]
I got the original xbox adapater and also kept having problems with it recognizing my network and found that I kept having to troubleshoot each time I restarted the console in order to get it to work. And when it did work, the connection was lousy.
After a couple weeks I just sent it back to Amazon and decided to stick with my ghetto "ethernet cord connected to my computer utilizing its wireless" technique. It may look a little ugly, but it's definitely reliable.
