This is not a cheap piece of equipment by a long stretch, however i don't particularly find it overpriced, as wireless access points and wireless cards for pc are not much cheaper and are often much more of a hassle to set up. My verdict: It does what it is supposed to do without lag, and is easy to set up even for a complete beginner in wireless internet access. A top-hole item that i would highly recommend.

Once I opened my 360 box and saw a great big chunky ethernet cable I decided I would need a wireless bridge. I was horrified to realise that it was so overpriced. Anything that has the xbox 360 name on adds on so much more money. However this is a very good bit of kit and is essential in my view. I am using the Voyager 2100 and as far as I know most routers are supported. The signal strength is excellent and I only have lag on FIFA: RTWC, which is an laggy game anyway (I never play it really lol). This wireless bridge is easy to install in a few simple steps. It even picked up my neighbours Belkin router!!! Overall a great product but I would wait if you can to see if it has a price drop.

I decided to delve into the next-gen (I guess it's the current gen now...) by purchasing an xbox 360 - a second-hand one at that. I also bought one of these sleek (but HUGELY overpriced) adapters to connect wirelessly, as i'm not allowed to have an ethernet cable upstairs. However, to my dismay, the damn thing wouldn't be detected on the 360! Not my wireless network, but the 360. Customer support wasn't that helpful - I spent 30 minutes being told to reconnect it. However, after testing it on my mate's 360, I found it was a fault in the hardware (ironic that the second-hand xbox was working fine and the brand new adapter wasn't). So I exchanged it for another, and it works fine, connects, gets a strong signal and everything. However, next to my xbox is a computer. On this computer, I have a wireless adapter costing £10, which does exactly the same as this £60 wireless adatper. Now, why would something, which performs the same function as another slightly different piece of equipment, cost so much? Because microsoft are ripping you off. However, to its credit, it works flawlessly (assuming you have a working one). Worth it if you can't be bothered to find an alternative (like me) however, if you want to get an alternative, try belkin's wireless gaming adapter.

Once again, it's a quality product,
