As i think we all know, the official Wireless Network Adapter for the Xbox 360 is indeed very pricey, however ive been eharing her and there about an unofficial one and i assumed there was one as well, however after a good look around and even on eBay, i just cannot seem to find one!

can anyone help me out on this? what ones are there? ad are they any good compared to the official ones?

I can't speak from experience but a Wireless Ethernet Bridge should allow the 360 to connect to your wireless router.

Something like this should work:

You have to configure it whislt attached to a PC and then plug it in to the ethernet port on the 360.

This site refers to a Linksys model too:

Every solution I looked into a few months ago was going to cost in realm of about $80 to $120. End the end, I decided it was worth the extra $20 (or the saved $20) to get the actual adapter that would actually work right out of the box.
