Hi Shaz, I used to use the M$ wireless adapter until I got these, www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000TV7FJ4/ref=ox_ya_oh_productWould recommend them to anyone as Lizzie says they are brilliant. Just plug them both into a wall socket and with the ethernet cables provided, one in the xbox and one into your router and job done. You are as good as hardwired. ;D |

I use Netgear homeplugs.
All I can say is that they are brilliant. I used to have loads of lost connections with the wirless adaptors from M$. But after having these my ping went down and they are just great.
Well worth the investment.
Plus the netgear ones have an encryption feature so you can use them in flats if you share a ring main - so it can basically pair them up such no one else who plugs in can nick your internet.
Plug and play as Camel says and dead easy to configure the encryption if you want to use it. If you live in a house with no shared electric consumer unit you dont need to bother with the encrption jobby.

www.ebuyer.com/product/160665Bought these ones from Ebuyer.....worked brilliantly, and lthough i don't need it there is a setup disc to allow encryption....£48 200mbps....... And they don't take over a double plug socket, (although they are quite large)
