Xbox 360 router question?
I just recently bought an xbox 360 and was planning to get a wireless router for my system. When I went to amazon I found the standard XBOX 360 wireless router, and the wireless router for the original xbox. The reviews for the original Xbox router said that it works just fine with the 360. So my question is, what justifies the extra 50 dollars I would spend on the 360 wireless router, when I could spend 39.99 on the original xbox wireless router. Here are some links to the mentioned items:

If the original model works with 360 though, what benefits would I be missing out on?
First, those are wireless adapters – not routers.
The 360 Wireless Adapter plugs into your USB port, and can only be used with the 360.
The “Original Xbox Wireless Adapter” is actually an ethernet to wireless bridge – a MUCH more flexible product, as it just uses standard ethernet to connect to a device (it doesn’t even have to be a Xbox)
Get the Original Xbox Wireless Adapter. It’s cheaper, does exactly the same thing (functionality-wise) as the 360 specific product, and offers more flexibility in terms of setup. One of the user comments explains how to get this to work with your 360.
