They're letting me return it and purchase the xbox 360 adaptor,which cost $50 more. While Shoko at World Wide Sales was very helpful, I don't know how I missed buying the wrong one. I don't know how I missed it, but the adaptor was for the xbox not xbox 360. Shoko sent me a link to update the adaptor to the 360 but that didn't work. Oh well.
I believe it will work with practically any device with an ethernet port once configured. The initial configuration was a little tough and it can't use WPA encryption. I bought this for my brother's Xbox 360 for Christmas and was pretty pleased with it. By the end of the setup, though, I had it working with a standard Xbox, an Xbox 360, and his older desktop computer. A good value.
Well That about sums it up. I really think this is a good item because you can set it closer to your wireless router and run an ethernet cable right to the back of your Xbox or Xbox 360. And it worked. I got mine for 39.99 when I had an original Xbox. Once I upgraded to the 360 I went ahead and tried it out. But the price really makes me ticked off.
It's a bit slow, but I don't game online with the 360 as much as I use Xbox Live for downloads and whatnot, so I'm not needing anything all that fast. I bought this to use with my 360 (you have to set it up using an Xbox, so be warned, if you don't have the original Xbox, do not get this for the 360). It works and works fairly well. This is probably not the best product if you're looking to bump up your multiplayer gamerscore on Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, but it'll do fine if you want to merely download a tv show or the occasional demo.
Only thing I didn't like is it only supports WEP. Incredibly easy to setup, just plug it in. I didn't need to use the installation disc that came with it. There is supposedly a firmware hack available to enable WPA encryption, but I can't attest for that personally.
