Xbox 360 802.11n Adapter Now Shipping

The new 802.11n wireless adapter for the 360 is now selling at an MSRP is $99.99 but it’s currently $87.99 at Amazon. It plugs into the USB port in back of the Xbox 360 and has dual-antennas, giving it a rabbit ears look. To achieve the best signal, you will want a USB extension cord so you can put the antennas up high rather than down behind your AV cabinet. What really stands out: the new adapter supports not just dual-antenna, but dual bands, both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Now, if you want to segregate your video game traffic to 5GHz, leaving 2.4GHz for data on computers, then you can. (You’ll need a dual-band wireless router for that.) It doesn’t support Wi-Fi Protected Setup for easy security, but does go up to WPA2. Give yourself an easy pass-phrase key; entering them with the controller might drive you insane.
