thats sounds better than dishing out 100 bucks
but not better than just plugin in a ethernet cable lol
i may try this tho
10 bucks says that doing that would lag like crap.
my router is on the 2nd floor and the xbox is in the basement. i just got a 60tf ethernet cable and hid it along the wall and in the basements ceiling, becuase my ceiling in the basement is a bunch of tiles you can take off
instead of buying that contraption...(crappy linksys router) just hardwire it to your laptop and turn on internet sharing. If your already wireless on a lappy then your xbox will pick up the signal. honestly tho why would you want to play wirelessly especially because its not intergrated. there is tons of lag...lolodadonthis is true. i tried doing that same idea with my laptop and received a fair amount of more lag than being normally hard wired. it was still "good" but def. not better than being hard wired. (i was also in a basement, so that added to the quality of the connection). its a killer when your about to line up a head shot then all of a sudden your screen starts jerking back and forth :/.

Well there is the added annoyance of needing your laptop on whenever you want to play Live, which is also a needless waste of energy. The linked method is much more practical.

all i said was if you have a laptop its a little bit easier just to turn on internet sharing then to have to configure and plug into a router. also if you already have a laptop then you also save the $14.

You can do it with a pc to.instead of buying that contraption...(crappy linksys router) just hardwire it to your laptop and turn on internet sharing. If your already wireless on a lappy then your xbox will pick up the signal. honestly tho why would you want to play wirelessly especially because its not intergrated. there is tons of lag...lolodadonExcept that whatever computer you do this with, won't be able to stream any media to the xbox. And that can get very annoying. And for what it's worth, the MS wireless adapter for the 360 can then be configured directly from the 360's config, which comes in handy.
Thanks for the heads up. The main reason I don't have a 360 yet is how expensive the wifi dongle is. I'm a single player kind of guy, but want my system connected for updates, and to download XBLA games, demoes, expansion content etc. Lag isn't a big issue for such things, so this gives me a cheaper solution and a reason to take the plunge.
