Cheap alternate to Xbox 360 Wireless adapter?

[Worldcup08]

I've read a few posts in the past about a cheaper alternate to the 360 wireless adapter and now the time has come where I actually need one.

Thanks

The WGA11B is definitely the way to go for a cheaper alternative to the IMHO overpriced 360 wireless adapter.

If your wireless network doesn't use WPA or WEP, it's dirt-simple to setup. If you do use WEP or WPA, make sure you download the configuration program from the Linksys website instead of using the one which comes on the CD with the adapter. The CD installer is bugged and doesn't work right.

I've had mine for about a year now, used it with the original Xbox and now the 360. I haven't noticed any problems whatsoever with lag or download speeds.

Got a wireless router + around $35 + some tech savvy + free time? I go wired myself (literally inches from my router), but bookmarked this article when I ran across it.

from what i gather you pretty much want a G connection especially if you stream content to your 360

I have the logitech wireless adapter. It's essentially a repeater and far less clever than anything above. But it works, no lag in Halo 3 multiplayer and at 15 bones(on woot) can't be beat price wise. I'm it can be found somewhere for less.
