Ok... i just bought a new Xbox 360 ( never had one before) it came with the wireless network adapter Ok when I turn on the Xbox and attach the adapter I can find my desktop PC's Internet connection. ON the modem the wireless light is on. It says iam connected to the internet. however when i run the xbox live tests it keeps failing the IP address testing. Do i need a Router for it to work? or would my wireless Internet suffice. the only hardware i have is my modem and the wireless network adapter.
take it back, get a refund.... then... bridge your connections between your xbox and your pc/laptop! Bang free wireless xbox live with a daft $40 wireless adapter!
i really dont want to take it back. TOTG... will that adapter be enough to connect or do i have to have a router(which i dont have)
You will need a router if you have the wireless adapter.... You really should just bridge your connection between your xbox & pc... easier and you don't need an adapter or router.
To use a wireless adapter you will need a wireless router. To get on xbox live just bridge like they said or if your modem has any extra ethernet ports just get a real long network cable and run it against a wall or something
k thanks for answering that guys.. I think ill just bridge the connection. as i dont want to spend another 50 bucks on a router.
