What Wireless Adapters are Compatible with XBox 360?

One of the most popular features of the Xbox 360 console is Microsoft's Xbox LIVE service, which allows gamers from all over the world to connect for competition and socialization. To connect to Xbox LIVE, establish a working Internet connection. If you have a wireless router in your house, select one of three devices that allow the 360 to communicate with the wireless network.

- Before you begin hunting for an Xbox 360 wireless adapter, double-check which version of the Xbox you own. The Xbox 360 S has a built-in wireless adapter and can pick up wireless networks without the need for additional hardware.
Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter
- The Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter was built by Microsoft to help connect the 360 console to a wireless network. It connects via USB to a port on the back of the console. Configure the adapter to find your network, allowing you to share data, play online games and stream marketplace content.
Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless N Adapter
