Do You Need A Special Router To Connect Xbox 360 To The Computer, Wirelesly?

by GamePlay on July 13, 2010

I just got a 360 and i want to connect it to the computer to get LIVE. Its too far away to connect with a cable, so i need to connect it wirelessly.
I have a wireless router already for my computer, and i can connect my laptop, wii, and ds to it. Can the xbox connect to it too, and if so, do i need any special routers to do so? Thanks!

You got 3 options…
The dearer one ..
Buy a wireless Network Adapter
Or connect through the laptop
Get an ethernet cable and plug one end into xbox the other into laptop.
On your laptop ..Either
Go to your Network Connections. Select the LAN connection and your internet connection. Right-click, Bridge Connections.
Or
Connect using ICS Internet Connection Sharing

Well since the 360 doesn’t have built in Wi-fi,i think the best thing you might need to get is the (Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter) which is like $100.You can get it at places like Gamestop Wal-Mart Target etc.
Hope that helps!

Yeah you have to buy a wireless adapter for the 360. It costs like 100 bucks.
