Hi, I'm looking for a random deal on a slightly used 360 Wireless Adapter, and I am saving up enough cash for one. I just want to resolve the laggy problems in MW2 and SFIV that's done with a birdged connection.
 
If you can use a PC to set it up, this is what I got my cousin when he moved in. At $37 with free shipping it is hard to do better new or used (unless you want to flash a DD-WRT router). Performance is decent in terms of reception to my wireless G network. I actually paid a bit more than this price.

The downside is that you have to configure it and the instructions are lacking. Make sure you use AP Client Mode! I found that out after about an hour of wailing and gnashing of teeth. I'm not the most handy networking guy, but I'm not a neophyte either. Check it out:

You'd be surprised at what you can find at thrift stores. I work at GameStop and some lady came in, referring to the new Wireless N-Adapter that hit the market recently, saying one was donated and still in the package. She said she slapped a $4.99 price tag on it.

Are you sure that this access point from the URL you gave me would fix the lag and random disconnection right after I get through the instructions, configure the settings, and activating AP Client Mode?
 
[quote name='phantasyx']I can sell you mine I'm not using it, 60 shipped if interested.[/QUOTE] And does it get the job done on eliminating lag in MW2 and disconnections in SFIV?
 
that all depend on your internet, any lag could come from a lag switch from a host or a poor online community and development like SF4 has. PM me though if you do want it, I wont be checking this forum anytime soon.

Oh, okay. Time to cut my money in a debit card in half.

I can't promise anything, as your network could be the culprit, but it should outperform bridging via your laptop. It isn't as fast as my wired 360, and our network sometimes gets a bit hairy. For reference I have a laptop, a Wii, 2 netbooks, a desktop PC, and 2 360s connected wirelessly (one using this Access Point) and a PC and 360 connected via wires into a lower level linksys G+ router, sharing 12 mbps from a cable modem.

I have switched the Trendnet AP with the others I use (for the other 360 and the desktop and laptop) and there is no appreciable difference. Again, YMMV, but you can't really do better new unless you can get the $5 wireless 'N' adapter at Goodwill.
