McPhee Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 What is you're current one? Only one i know for a fact works is the Netgear WG111T because i was using it up until Acer released drivers for my PCI card. Oh and the Broadcomm 205, which is the card inside my laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I had to get a Ralink driver for a Belkin wireless card, even then it was extremely buggy and had to switch to wired networking. My laptop which has Vista on it uses a wireless, god knows what it is though... but i've had no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirtynine. Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 word. I have a wired connection but my 360 needs some interweb loving and buying a wireless adaptor for my pc is a hell of a alot cheaper than one for my 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 So you're after a wireless adaptor so you can put you're 360 through you're PC? You could use one of these: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/cat/Wireless/subcat/Games-Adapters-/-Bridges £10 off if you go through Google Checkout so they're a pretty reasonable price and you could put you're 360 and PC into them making both wireless for about £30! A lot less hassle than ICS and Network Bridging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirtynine. Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Well my current set up is a 12meter network cable from the basment where the router is to my bedroom. Since I am going to be playing online on my 360 i figured that using a wired connection would be a better idea. The wireless adaptor i got with my router wont work on vista as orange broadband lick balls and havent sorted out any drivers yet. Do you think it would be easyer to get a pci wireless card rather than USB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
