Hey Guys,

I would like to stream video from Media Center to X360. I have to have wireless on 360, but I don't know what type of adapter to use. I am currently using an old wireless gaming adapter but would like to upgrade it to wireless N. Any suggestions?

thanks

dunno if there are any wireless n gaming adapters i have a 125mbps adapter that works by using the ethernet slot but its G only
the official adapter USB the only USB adapter works is wireless G only go to the TPU clubs and look for xbox 360 club join it or just ask some questions i can answer your question there and there are more 360 users there
you can use a G wireless adapter and it will work with your N setup but it will be 54 or 125mbps MAX
125 or 54mbps is fast enuf for xbox live tbh id get the official usb adapter as it requires no setup at all and is 54mbps but is of high quality for that speed
more you pay more you get unfortunatly

soz i use this http://www.zoom.com/graphics/datasheets/networking/0176_4400_Wireless_AP_2 .pdf

you need to get the acces pojnt to connect to your wireless network it must be WEP or WPA protected tho coz thats the only adapters youll get
the adapter i use just requires the name of the network the security settings like the wep key and thats it you need to use a browser and type in a IP to get the confic screen to come up for the access point it has a set by step guide tho so its easy

you need to use your pc to setup access points tho
