If you can specifically suggest a less expensive alternative method known working then your comment is welcome. Otherwise this sounds like a thread crapping.

I would also like to suggest the Logitech Play Link for the Xbox 360 if you can find one. I have one and love it, and it only cost about $15. There was a forum on it:

And here is a link to an IGN article about it:

It used to be available on www.geeks.com and amazon, but I think it's a little harder to find these days. Good Luck!

why it's worth it?
- matching look
- easy hook-up
- easy setup
- doesn't need external power
- supports 802.11a (!)
but if ur cheap like me, u wouldn't even pay a dime for it
I use Windows ICS - it's free! A bit of a hassle to setup the security/firewall ports, but it's as good as any.
Of course, u would need to have a nearby PC in the first place (in my case, it's my HTPC)
EDIT: I think above all, if I ever to buy it, it'd be for the 802.11a compliant.
My house is jamming with all kind of 2.4GHz sh!t, it'd be nice to move some to 5.8GHz..

I second or third the Playlink suggestion. I paid ~$25, and it works like a champ. *No* configuration whatsoever - just plugged it in and it worked. I've recently moved my Xbox 360 to the second floor, and it works great from there as well. This weekend I needed to temporarily network a PC - plugged in the Playlink to the PC.. voila! wireless access!

Yeah, the spec say 1.5Mbps. That seems to be fine for my purposes, at least so far.
I don't get the whole Media Player Extender thing.. what does it do?
