The Netgear Universal Wi-Fi Internet Adapter<\/a> can connect anything with an ethernet port to your 802.11n network, be it an Xbox 360<\/a> or a TV. But so can many other devices on the market. What’s better about this one?<\/p>\n

Much like the Xbox 360 Wireless N adapter<\/a>, Netgear’s latest wireless N adapter is tiny, easily squeezing behind components in your home theater. Plus, it runs off USB power, meaning you don’t need to ferret around to plug it in to a powerstrip.<\/p>\n

Really, taking into account the convenience, the Universal Wi-Fi Internet Adapter might be the most cleverly designed Wi-Fi adapter since Microsoft’s high-priced 360 dongle. And it works on anything with a USB and ethernet port, from your TV to your Blu-ray player, without special drivers.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, it’s similar to Microsoft’s dongle in more ways than one. This puppy will run $80 when it’s around this May.<\/p>\n

By the way, if you’re just looking for a cheap way to connect the 360 to a Wi-Fi network, check out our feature on the matter here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Universal WiFi Internet Adapter (WNCE2001) for Home Theater Devices and Gaming Consoles
\nNETGEAR is also introducing the industry’s first compact USB-powered Universal WiFi Internet Adapter (WNCE2001) that works with Internet TVs, game consoles and Blu-ray players. The first of its kind, the adapter is the only affordable solution in a small form factor that delivers optimal Wireless-N performance and works universally with any Ethernet-enabled CE device. This saves consumers from the confusion and expense of purchasing separate WiFi USB adapters for each CE device in their home theater.<\/p>\n

The Universal WiFi Internet Adapter is powered by the USB port, avoiding the need for a long wire to the power outlet and making it more visually pleasing in the already congested home theater environment. With NETGEAR Push Connect technology and CD-less set-up, it is truly a plug and play experience.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
