How to Use the Dynex USB Wireless on the Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 gaming console does not come preinstalled with wireless capabilities, so you will have to plug an external adapter into the Xbox to connect to your wireless network. While Xbox makes an official 360 adapter, you can also use other third-party adapters, such as the Dynex USB Wireless adapter. Once you are connected, you can use the many online features such as On-Demand movies and the Xbox Live gaming network.
