How to Connect My Xbox to My Wireless Modem

The Xbox gaming system can connect wirelessly to the Internet for downloading content and joining multi-player games. Setting up the system to work with a modem requires a wireless networking adapter specifically designed for the Xbox. The adapter comes with software on a CD for quick installation on the Xbox. Configuring the system to go on the Internet takes only a few minutes.
