XBOX 360 Compatible 
2008-02-25
This product works great. It found my wireless network instantly. And all i needed to do is plug it up to my xbox 360 and BAM!!!! i had XBOX live.
Works for Xbox 360 - but need to set up on original Xbox. 2008-02-11
I used this on my Xbox 360 as a cheap alternative to the 360 specific USB wireless adaptor.
I had to set it up using my original Xbox, then moved it to my 360.
Set up on the original Xbox is extremely easy - I didn't even use the included set up disk. Set your wireless network on broadcast, have your security key and the Xbox will walk you thru the process. Once it works on the Xbox, move it to your 360, go to the dashboard, check connection and go.
A smaller concern might be wireless network security as it only supports older standards.
Not WPA 
2008-02-09
This adapter works OK but it should be made clear in the description that it is not WPA compatable.
no WPA, no PSK 2008-01-20
does not support WPA PSK so is not very good.
somebody upgrade the thing. Typical microsoft problem.
Microsoft Nails the Hardware 2008-01-17
I bought this shortly after buying my Xbox in 2004. However, before I bought this, I bought the Linksys WGA54G Wireless-G Gaming Adapter since I already had a Linksys Wireless-G Router. It ended up being DOA, as well as the second one I got. I stopped at two strikes and Linksys was out.
Microsoft stepped up with its Wireless Adapter that is smaller than the Linksys and works with the Xbox right out of the box. When trying to resolve the issues with the Linksys gaming adapter I already found out about the incompatibility with UPnP and had it turned off on the router. I simply plugged this in to the Xbox, searched for and connected to my wireless network and I was on Xbox Live.
I bought an Xbox 360 when it launched and right at launch they made it so this adapter work work seamlessly with it. In fact all I had to do was disconnect the ethernet cable from the original Xbox and plug it into the Xbox 360 and it was already connected to the network. All I had to do then was recover my Gamertag which is easy if you remember your hotmail address and password that's connected to your Xbox Live account.
My only gripe remotely related to this is that it would take forever to enter a WEP key using the Xbox controller, but you could connect this to a computer and set it up using a browser as well.
Not perfect, but gets the job done.

I bought this to use with my 360 (you have to set it up using an Xbox, so be warned, if you don't have the original Xbox, do not get this for the 360). It works and works fairly well. It's a bit slow, but I don't game online with the 360 as much as I use Xbox Live for downloads and whatnot, so I'm not needing anything all that fast. This is probably not the best product if you're looking to bump up your multiplayer gamerscore on Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, but it'll do fine if you want to merely download a tv show or the occasional demo.
Easy Setup 
2008-06-13
Incredibly easy to setup, just plug it in. I didn't need to use the installation disc that came with it. Only thing I didn't like is it only supports WEP. There is supposedly a firmware hack available to enable WPA encryption, but I can't attest for that personally.
Works With The 360, $50 cheaper Than 360 Adapter. 2008-06-13
This adapter is designed for the original XBox but it DOES work with the 360. The 360 wireless adapter is $100 and this one is only $50. That alone is worth it's weight. Setup is easy on the 360, first plug in the bulky power supply adapter into an outlet. (Yet another power plug to add to my growing collection behind the TV.) Plug the included ethernet cable into the adapter and the other end into the 360. DO NOT use the included setup CD ROM! You don't need it. Once everything is connected, turn on the 360 and go to the dashboard and into the network settings. Have the 360 scan for available wireless networks, pick your network, enter your WEP key, tell it to test connection and you're done! It connected right away to my network and XBox live. Great!
I just wish Microsoft would take Sony's approach and build all of this into the 360. I have the HD-DVD Drive and now the wireless adapter, which, combined with the 360 itself, halfway fills up a power strip with cords.
If you want to get your 360 online at half the price, use this XBox adapter and not the 360 one (which is $50 more)
Purchased for my original xbox. Works great with my 360 Elite 2008-05-12
I had originally purchased this for my Xbox about five years ago. I got the Elite and hadn't hooked it up yet and had been looking online for a wireless adapter when I found this one in a box. I don't know why I hadn't expected it to be compatible but I held my breath as I hooked it up.
It works like a charm and is pretty much invisible to my day to day use. I rarely notice it except at night when I turn off the lights. "Oh yea" I say as I see the green blinky lights and recall the money I saved.
Fantastic reception 2008-03-28
I was looking to go wireless on my XBOX360 so I could put it in the living room area where my projection tv was. As soon as I hooked the device to my system, it saw it automatically, but had to input my wireless g username and password to see the network. EXCELLENT product and from the reviews, got a better rating than the newer one that sold for $100
