Simple to install, reliable, easy to configure BUT does NOT support WPA2 (supports WPA though). Even though theres an option on the 360 setup that says WPA2 (greyed out) this item does not support it whatever else you may hear. Theres even a knowledgebase article on www.xbox.com apologizing for some incorrect manuals that claim that it does support it. Come on Microsoft, even my two year old Netgear WAP can do WPA2! Second gripe is of course the price. Yes, its very neat, matches the 360, configures easily and nicely clips onto the back of the machine, but is that really justification for TRIPLE the price of any other USB wireless adaptor? No, its just a rip off. Sure put on some margin for the 360 badging, but times three? Get real. Given the pain WiFi can be, the ease of setup gets this to score three stars. Would have been five, but high price loses one star and no WPA2 loses another. Read More |
