How Do You Set Up Xbox Live Wireless?

Xbox is a popular game console developed by Microsoft. The console not only allows users to play single-player and multi-player games offline, but users can also sign up for an Xbox Live account and play online against people all over the world. To prevent your Xbox from hogging up your Internet modem, you can set up a wireless router and your Xbox will then be able to connect to the Internet using that router.

Things You'll Need

Wireless router already setup
Wireless Xbox game adapter (can be purchased from most major retailers)
Xbox Live account or subscription CD (can be purchased from most major retailers)

Instructions

  Turn off your Xbox.

  Plug in your wireless Xbox game adapter. Then, insert one end of the network cable (that came with the adapter) into your adapter, and the other end into Ethernet port on the back of your Xbox.

  Power on your television and Xbox. Your Xbox will automatically connect to the Internet if you are using a wireless setup that doesn't require a password. If you require a password, go to the next step.
