Xbox 360 Wireless dongle alternative??

[Liambo-201]

Anybody using a third party dongle for their 360? I have red it can be done on a few sites but need confirmation from people i know i can trust.

You mean to add wireless ability to an original 360 (white ones primarily) and not use the official MS one?

 

[Liambo-201]

Bingo! I have seen on other sites people have added wireless ability to their (white) 360 not using the official wireless dongle.. But wanted to know if anybody else has done this.

I would just hard wire it into my router but its down the stairs and a fair bit away, and my wireless repeater is not far away but a bitch to run a cable to, so i would rather not.

You can buy Ethernet wireless adaptors for bugger on eBay. Or get a cheap old wireless router put it in adhoc (bridged) mode and use that. I've used both methods for cheap wireless access on a 360

Given the cost of the non-MS ones, it's generally not worth bothering with the hassle, not mention that they look more clunky.

Wireless bridges work, but are generally more of a faff than they are worth.

I'm not aware of any 3rd party xbox usb adaptors.

Thanks for all the input guys, im going to check out a few things and get back to you lot

Also i don't know why i said dongle because it's not so much a dongle as it's not USB.

I bought a ethernet cable for my 360 elite. About £4 for 10m cable from my local computer store. Boom!

The only way is the two options I gave you.

3rd party wireless USB adaptors do not exist.

Bite the bullet, break the bank, get a 360S

Built in WiFi and doesnt sound like a 747 on full take-off thrust... and less chance of RROD

Wireless is poo, I've invested in some home plugs for my 360 upstairs.

Amazing bit of kit and highly recommended
