making xbox live wireless


Recommended Posts

I work at RadioShack, and I had a customer come in and ask how to set up a wireless network for their xbox to play xbox live. I sold her a wireless router and a USB wireless adapter to plug into the xbox. That should all work, right? (I don't own an xbox, so it was mostly a good guess)

well which wireless USB adapter did you sell her? Some generic thumb USB thing? IF so then nah, they will be back soon :) The router is fine and should be good but they'll need either the older xbox wifi adapter or the newer 360 adapter. I think those are the only 2 that works.

Oh, I assumed you sold her the Xbox-branded Wireless adapter (either the Xbox v1 or Xbox 360 adapter), that would of course work. If you sold her a generic USB wireless-thumb adapter then that may or may not work.

Basically, if it has the 'Xbox Certified' seal, it will of course work. Almost any Ethernet-to-wireless adapter will work as well (it may take a lot more configuring, however). And the Microsoft Xbox branded adapters will all work without fuss.
