Default Wireless Connections

I've been told that wireless adaptors dish out BS (BULL SPIT?) connections. Can anyone confirm to me that the wireless adaptor is terrible?

Wireless connections - regardless of the adapter - are subject to interference and latency that ethernet doesn't suffer from.

The adapter for the 360 is perfectly capable however.
It largely depends on your home layout and the makeup of the walls, etc.

A home with a lot of wood panelling will render wireless useless while timber-framed (drywall) homes are usually ok.

My router is in the same room as my xbox. I have no problem getting a wired connection. I just don't like the wire running across the room. That, and it scares my pets for some reason.

LOL - Eccentric Pet phobias are cool!

My Cat hates keys. Even a slight jingle will have it running for the hills.

Now that you mention it, my dog is also afraid of rolled newspaper(lol) and balls.
Also, how can I stream my iPod to my xbox? It's an ipod touch, and I don't take firmware updates.

lol, evertime I use a the compressed air spray to clean my keyboard my dog takes off.

Even worse my friends pitt bull is afraid of balloons. We had one that was almost out of helium and sitting at just over her head level in the middle of the hallway and the dog just would not pass it. The dog was trippin to barking, digging into his crappy carpet and basically having a fit that the balloon was in her way but never did just go past it.
