psionicinversion Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I was wondering if its possible to use a different wireless adaptor on the xbox 360 or do ya have to go and buy the official one?? There so expensive If ya can go buy a normal one (i noticed the xbox one uses the usb port anyway) will it allow the drivers to be installed on it?

Roger H. Veteran Posted March 21, 2007 Veteran Share Posted March 21, 2007 no, you can only use those "Wireless Game Adapters" from Linksys or other places that plug into the LAN port on the 360 and then convert to wireless. Only the official 360 one would work as designed. You can also buy the older Xbox wireless adapter that's cheap now and plug it in... think you'd be limited to .11B tho... i don't think those had G with them.

Dijital Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I actually bought the old 802.11g one for the original xbox and can say with confidence that it would work great if yo ucan find one, on ebay they are like $40 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilsbury Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I had endless problems with the official 360 one - which wouldn't connect reliably to any 802.11a wireless router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted March 21, 2007 Veteran Share Posted March 21, 2007 ok yeah.. ooops.. it does work with 802.11G but it's missing WPA or WPA2 or something that lines so you'll have to use WEP. The ones from Linksys and DLink and the others have WPA (i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoadorable Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 the official controller's good enough and not too pricey at that...i even dropped them on a few occasions but still it works. wait a minute this could explain my lack of progress in certain games...
