    Sigh what a rip off. Buy a real router, flash with open source firmware, make it a wireless bridge. Congrats you just saved an ass ton of money that will work with absolutely every device and can support multiple devices all at the same time.

    Then again the people who actually paid $100 for a wireless adapter for the 360 probably weren't that bright to begin with. Can make the same thing for $20 with an old router off ebay. #madcatz

    @Jay467: Wireless-N, if you have it at 5 GHz, has longer range and higher transmission rate than wireless-G (current standard). If we're talking about the 2.4 GHz Wireless-N, then it'll have longer range and marginally better transmission rate than wireless-G.

    Wireless-G and Wireless-B both operate at 2.4 GHz but G has longer range, better overall stability, and higher transmission rate than B.

    Why do people buy wireless adapters for their consoles? Run an Ethernet cable across your house, or if that's not your thing, then hook up your laptop up to the Xbox through Ethernet and with Windows, share the Internet connection. I've done it before. It's easy. #madcatz

    Compared to say the Wii, PS3's built-in wlan blows. Compatibility issues galore with my router.

    An old D-Link 524, firmware shizzle doesn't help, and it works dandy with my wii, computer, mac, ds, and the other two computers in the household as well as the 360 back when I still had one.

    My life got so much easier after buying a set of homeplugs, and I can actually play online without the horrible wlan ping. #madcatz

    Um, yes but... It's still a Mad Catz. That crap consistently has a higher failure rate than the actual 360. Anybody who's been in retail can tell you that the return rate on that stuff is the highest of any comparable product. (whatever the product may be)
    That's why it's always cheaper.
    I remember having almost as much Mad Catz in the defective bin as on the shelves...on a regular basis.

    I don't know, man. Mad Catz has been putting out some quality stuff as of late. The custom Fender Bass for Rock Band is pretty awesome, and even their controllers are becoming more and more likable.

    I remember reading a year back or so that the new owner of Mad Catz was on a mission to legitimize the company, and that he knew that they were viewed as shoddy craftsmen. As far as I can tell he's been living up to that declaration. #madcatz

    Gaming over a wifi network makes me shudder. I opted for the 50ft Ethernet cable and just ran it along the wall under the carpet from the living room to the bedroom.

    There's really little point in adding 802.11n to a PS3 - 802.11g speed is considerably faster than anyones broadband connection anyway.

    @Rampage: 802.11g hits around 20 megabits/sec max under ideal, real-world connections (i.e. no interference and line of sight) which is barely enough to stream HD content.

    802.11n on the other hand can reach 130 megabits/sec under real-world conditions which is plenty fast for streaming HD content. However, I should warn people that wired always beats wireless in that there are rarely any dropped packets. #madcatz

    @digiboy123:

    I think he is referring to the maximum transfer rate.

    The theoretical (almost never realized) maximum for 802.11G is 54Mb/s whereas good ole ethernet can provide 100Mb/s and gigabit ethernet can give you 1000Mb/s.

    802.11N brings up the maximum (and the range) to somewhere above 100Mb/s...maybe around 150.

    However, it will likely never give you the maximum either.

    For internet use, all of them are faster than your connection. #madcatz

    I'll never understand why people think G isn't enough for right now.

    Before I moved my router, I routinely could stream 1080p w/ 5.1 dolby over my wireless G network.

    Now they is of course slightly more latency for gaming, but that has nothing to do with throughput.

    @AlexBadger's hat makes him look flyeth: yes. Make sure the router supports N, though. More range, better signal, etc are the plusses. My PS3s can't get nice signal and speed with G through several thick walls that have metal bars in them . #madcatz

    @somarix: Good to hear.

    We have an N router, but when I saw that AdHoc Party required that the PS3 used a wired connection, I'm hoping this sort of thing will trick it into thinking I'm wired.

    Using a wire just isn't an option here, unfortunately. #madcatz

    @somarix: I have the same issue with my Xbox 360. This is a much nicer solution then the $99.99 USD one that I haven't even seen around my town in ass-end-of-nowhere Canada. And I do already have a router that supports Wireless N because I was planning on upgrading the entire network eventually when I bought it. #madcatz

    In reply to Mad Catz Ships Its Own Wireless-N Adapter
    Then M$ issues a dashboard update that won't allow 3rd party wireless adapters to work. #madcatz

    @MrFresh: If it's possible to disable this via software, I'm sure Microsoft will find a way to do it. That would leave you with an $80 lump of plastic. #madcatz

    @MrFresh:
    But this isn't really a real wireless adapter the same way the MS wireless adapter works.

    This just basically plugs into your Ethernet port and tricks the machine into thinking that you have a direct wired connection.

    These devices have been around since the PS2/Xbox days. This one is just powered with wifi-n instead of wifi-g/b #madcatz
