I have a old D-link wireless G setup right now and with the addition of a new computer further away it is not cutting it anymore. I want to go and get this Belkin Router (http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?ref=cnet&product_code=316060&pfp=external&tabtype=rv#moreinfo) . Heres my dilemma I know that that router has exceptional range and that is what I need but my computer doesn't have an open pci slot to put a card into. So I need a Wireless USB adaptor. The only one that supports MIMO is a Linksys and I hate them but it seems to be all right. So I am wondering if the MIMO adaptor will even make a big difference. Also if any of you have experience, using N and a 360 if it will work. THX for listening one more time.

Right now N is not something to really be counted upon...the spec has not even been fully agreed to and hardware from one vendor has annoying habit of not working with hardware from another vendor. That means the Belkin/Linksys 'Franken-network' has a very good chance of coming up 'no connection'...

There is a Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO USB (http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=339481) Network Adapter, 802.11g, b that might cut it for you.
