Not exactly a new deal, but if you want to setup your Xbox 360 through wifi and haven’t yet, it’s worth a look.
Look, Microsoft sells their proprietary Xbox 360 branded wifi adapter for $99. That’s outrageous. A friend of mine recently wanted to get on Xbox Live and didn’t have access to a hard line ethernet connection. Well, $99 is way too much for something you can buy for under $50 most places. It’s just not “Xbox” branded.
So, here’s what you’ll need to do:
- Purchase a wifi bridge adapter, also known as a wifi access point (may I recommend this one from NewEgg.com at around $40)
- Then, follow these instructions from about.com on how to actually hook everything up (sorry, I’m feeling kind of lazy)
- Now you should be up and running for half the price of a “Xbox” wifi adapter
- And don’t forget to get your first month of Xbox Live Gold for Free
- Oh yeah, and Boom!

Boom!
