Xbox live wireless help

Question

ok it appears my ethernet connection to my laptop which has a direct connection to my router won't connect me to xbox live so i need to get the wireless adaptor and i want to know how much will that cost me

Answer 1

lol yea they aren't build to work that way. you can't get the xbox to connect to the laptop to connect to the router thru the laptop.

simplest solution: get a wire for the xbox. ($20-50 depending on how long you need)

that said, the official 360 adapter is like 100 bucks. (d**n, ouch.) so if you know your wireless stuff, trying the previous poster's idea of getting an access point and configuring it might not be too bad.

Answer 2

I bought a wireless access point (AP) from newegg.com for $31 + shipping, what you need to do is change its settings to an "AP Client" which will then connect to your wireless and you can plug your xbox straight into it.

This is the item I bought, and it works great:
