If you cba to run Ethernet around your house.

Shame, I just sold an official one for £20 on Christmas Eve.

If you want the cheaper option look for a 'wireless ethernet bridge'. Should be around £15-25 new for a cheap one and it'll do the same job. None on ebay at the moment I don't think, but a guy was selling them for £20.

Sadily I also havn't got the option of running a cable to the x box as the router is downstairs and the xbox is upstairs.

Went into game and they wanted £60 for the adapter. Seen the copy's on ebay for £35. Don't know if they are any good though!

COULD I RUN AN ETHERNET CABLE FROM MY WIRELESS MODEM INTO MY XBOX?

edit sorry about caps

Another option. I couldn't as my Xbox is pretty much on the opposite side of the house to my router :(

Can you not just hardwire the 360 to your modem, that's what I did.

Fuck wireless it's too laggy anyway.

Microsoft=Robbing ba57ards!

Yep! Pay for the connection gear, then pay for the connection. Bit sneaky really.

Don't think it will work with the netgear part.

"It is not possible to use generic USB wireless network adapters with the Xbox or Xbox 360 game console. The reason: generic Wi-Fi network adapters require the installation of device driver software that standard Xbox consoles cannot accommodate. Although it is physically possible to plug these adapters into the Xbox, they will not function properly without the accompanying drivers in place."

That Idea is out of the window then!

Think i'll nip and get one out of the shops, Be less hastle. I like how they expect you to buy all their products that cost a small fortune!

Not sure to be honest. Never tried, I hear they work though. Have a look on Google: http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&safe=off&&sa=X&ei=W1kWTe7bM8i6hAeGzdW3Dg&ved=0CBUQvwUoAQ&q=Xbox+Live+using+USB+dongle&spell=1&fp=de610b7113b09eab

I have one of these lying around at the minute, Would this do the job?

Also got an Orange USB dongle aswell, Might give that a try too!

I think USB dongles can work, but you'd be best getting: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/black-wireless-n-xbox-360-adapter-1/835365

Its one of the older ones, same as this

Is it a new Xbox S? If so they are Wireless N from the box.

Just got an xbox and want to get xbox live. I know I need an xbox live subscription, But how do i go about connecting the xbox to the net.

I already have a belkin n1 wireless modem, and have a belkin n1 wireless usb adapter going spare.

Will i need to get the one that x box make or will the n1 wireless usb adapter do the job?
