Wireless Xbox360 Live

Hello. I recently moved and had my 360 wired, but now its in another room. What are my options other than the official adapter ($100) (or running wire)
Thanks

Any other usb adapter or bridge should work. I have to say the official works great and is a nice small size.

If you have a wireless router, then I would suggest the bridge option as well.

I use the Zyxel P330W wireless router because it can also be set up as a bridge. So one of the P330W is the wireless router, while another one is set up as a bridge to the XBOX 360.

Others use the P330W as the bridge, and get the newer Zyxel XtremeMimo X-550 for the wireless router.

I've used the official wireless adapter. It fits well, and has decent performance. I abhor lag, so I use a wired connection.

i have found some slow down with my wireless connection while downloading demos and trailers for games. I haven't noticed any lag while playing in-game, though

Well, amazon.com sells it for $87.99 with free shipping and no tax. Slightly cheaper than $100.
