A lot of people seem to be having trouble with the xbox 360 windows media center.

I've had trouble when using wireless, however it works fine when wired.

Just wondering if this is what is causing the problems.

Could be a number of things, interference, position of the wireless router, concrete or metal based walls.

You could always modify your 360 wireless adaptor and have an external antenna.

I was using a borrowed xbox 360 wireless adaptor, with a router(g) in the same room.

Not a problem for me now, as I don't have the adaptor, and using cable.

Just wondering the success rate for others.

I'm having no issues streaming media wirelessly. I have a nice and stable router when it comes to wifi, although it does tend to reboot itself for no apparent reason sometimes. But that's unrelated. :p

.. I think.

You'd need at least 4MB/sec constant transfer rate to really support up to a 1080p h.264 / AC3 stream and you wont be able to achieve that unless you have a true Wireless N network. On that topic you would need a 802.11n router running in bridge mode to another 802.11n router bridged as 802.11n for a "Wireless connection" to get anywhere near that, to which CAT6 cable is a much cheaper option.

For UK'ers you can get 30m of CAT6 cable from Ebuyer for ?10-15 these days, which isplenty> to get a connection to your nearest Router's LAN port.
