    360 wireless adapter.

    I know im known for not making sense, So ill try my best to not fuck this up

    Topic: free wireless adapter for your 360.

    Reason: why not.
    People who can benefit: alot of us are college students so saving money is awesome.

    If you read the ebay add there is a way to go wireless's without the 100dollar adapter available from Microsoft. Im working on this currently and will see if I can figure it out. I know its only two dollars but I only got five to my name so this is something to keep me home and not wasting gas making up home depot projects. Is anyone else interested in figuring this out? chime in.
    K thx Bye.

    Couldn't you just configure your laptop NIC as a bridge and use the wireless on the laptop to let your 360 talk to the router?

      I'd imagine that is exactly what this "guide" tells you to do.

          Yup, friend of mine did it and it worked, not sure if it performs as well as the adapter or not though.

            considering the wireless adapter for the 360 is 802.11a, its very possible that your laptop wireless card (802.11g or n depending on what it is) will work better as long as you arent downloading a bunch of stuff on your laptop at the same time, but that might not even matter.

              does anyone care to make a little list or guide on how they did it?

              I want to post it up somewhere so anyone can see it.

                    Yea I tried everything in the book to get my 360 to connect wirelessly without buying the adapter, but nothing worked well enough to stay connected, I finally broke down and bought the wireless adapter. Damn Microsoft for not making the 360 come with one and not making it a blue ray player.

                      I went wired. I'll sell my wireless adapter for $75 if anyone wants it.
