Gear Live Poll

How is your Xbox 360 connected to your home network?

Submitting ...

Time to bring back the Gear Live , because we’re wondering what method most users are employing when they connect their consoles to their home networks. We’re talking about you. Did you spend the extra benjamin on one of the Wireless Networking Adapters? Do you run a long-ass cable from your router to the 360 to avoid latency (or cost of said adapter)? Something else?

Hit up the poll and let us know, and feel free to use the comments to give us a more thorough response!

i have a wireless adapter but i dont use it anymore becuase it doesnt compare to the speed of a wired connection.. if you want to win you need a fast connection and wireless just doesnt cut it

I had an old Linksys G router left over when I upgraded my network to N speed. So I threw DD-WRT on it and use it as a wireless bridge between my entertainment center and my network. (Xbox, DVR, etc) Works flawlessly.

I have mine plugged into my laptop which uses a wireless adapter
