The original xbox adapter works and can be found for under $50. Their is a non MS brand wireless adapter I saw at bestbuy for $80. I am using a wireless bridge. I picked it up for $30 after rebates that works just fine.

Can't you just use any ol' USB Wireless network adapter?

From what I've read, no. The official adapter is a little pricey, but most a/b/g adapters are roughly the same price. I recently bought one, and it's really nice. I like not having to plug something else into the powerstrip (gaming adpaters) and it's really easy to set up.

as said above...the original xbox linksys adapter works, but you have to have a pc to configure it if you need to have the encryption and stuff setup. I'm using the original xbox one...I bought it for 35ish from buy.com on sale a while back.

It's only a B - which means it runs at 11Mb per second, but your cable modem even in the fastest scenario only runs at 6Mb per second so no worries at all.

I have NO lag on mine whatsover in multiplayer gaming.

QFT, I'd only worry about getting the actual 360 one if I was using the media center extender capabilities and therefore streaming video over the network. Otherwise, the original Xbox one will do fine.
