How to set up xbox live wirelessly?

Question

How do i set up my xbox live wirelessly in a college dorm? The school says they allow it to be done, but for some reason xbox cant find the network settings.

Answer 1

you need a wireless router to go in back of your 360 these cost $100

Answer 2

I know it sounds stupid, but unlike most laptops the Xbox 360 does NOT have a built in wireless adapter. Unfortunately you will have to pay about $100 to get a good one with excellent connection. But if you go to your local Gamestop/Game crazy, you can get a cheaper knock-off brand (i believe its make by Buffalo) for about $60 (which is still expensive for a wireless adapter. The down side to that one is that it has bad connection and its much more bulkier than the $100 adapter. Ether way youll end up spending alot-o money and these adapters are very hard to set up if the network is secure (meaning it requires a WEP-KEY/password/IP adress, etc).

good luck

Answer 3

What wireless technology is you school using? The adapter may not be compatible with it.

Answer 4

To have your Xbox connect to Live without connecting it to a router or anything, you need to pay around $100 for a Wireless Networking Adapter for it. If you don't feel like getting it, you can also share your internet connection from your computer with an ethernet cable and allow your computer to act like the adapter. This is what I do, and it works perfectly.
