How To Set Up Xbox Live With a Wireless Adapter

Microsoft's Xbox Live service allows Xbox 360 owners to play against other Xbox Live subscribers in gaming competitions via their favorite multiplayer games. It also allows individuals to purchase Xbox Live Arcade games as well as download demos, purchase full Xbox 360 games and use third-party applications such as Netflix and Last.FM. However, if you would like to use Xbox Live in a room where your modem and wireless router are not located, you can use the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to connect to Xbox Live from any room easily.

Things You'll Need

  • Broadband Internet connection
  • Wireless router connected to broadband modem

Instructions

    • 1

      Turn off your Xbox 360 home console if it is powered on. Look at the back of the console and find the part of the console labeled "I/O" and a part of the console above the "A/V" label that has two small holes.

      Plug the end of the wire of the Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless adapter into the "I/O" part of your console (the place you plug the wire into is above the Ethernet port). Place the two prongs of the device into the two holes above the "A/V" part of the console. This is where the wireless adapter will rest as you use your Xbox 360 console.

      Raise the antenna of the wireless adapter so it is pointing into the air. Place the console where you had it previously and power it on.

      Click "Right" on the directional pad of your Xbox 360 controller and navigate to "System Settings." Select "Network Settings" and select "Wireless Network." Find your network you will be connecting to and enter the security key of your router (if you do not have a security key, your console will automatically connect to it). Select "Test your Xbox Live Connection" to make sure you are getting a connection to your Xbox 360. If everything goes well, you will be able to connect to Xbox Live by signing into your gamertag that is associated with your Xbox Live account every time you power on your Xbox 360.
