Xbox 360 Slim lacks 5Ghz Dual Band

So I've recently discovered that the Xbox 360 Slims internal wifidon't have 5Ghz Dual Band support. However, I was wondering if you hooked up the attachable Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless N Adapter (the black one, not the white one) to the Xbox 360 Slim, will it over-ride the Slims internal 2.4Ghz and allow you to take advantage of 5Ghz? I'd like someone to shed light on this question if possible. If the Xbox 360 Slim can't support 5Ghz even with the Adapter hooked in, I'll just buy an Elite and buy the 5Ghz Dual Band Adapter.

Waste of time and money, won't notice any difference between 5ghz band and the normal N. 5Ghz band actually gives you a weaker signal and is only faster if you're transfering files over the network, pc to pc. It also sucks going through walls and objectes. If you want the best connection and speed go with wired.

yup no reason for you to go through the effort as you wont see an improvement. The built in stuff already plenty fast enough to have lag free(no such thing actually) gaming and for whatever else.

It does work though. I've had to do something similar because my wireless sub interfered with the 2.4GHz band.

It should work, but, I recommend those Wireless Adapter that has ethernet output. With that, you can look onto X360, Desktop, Laptop, Internet TV, and more. I am using it myself because the slim couldn't receive my signal from upstairs while the one I bought can get the signal very well.magicalclick
