The boards are slow there it would take awhile, and people HATE it when you make help threads.

You need a wireless adaptor to do it wirelessly. You can also use the included ethernet cable.

Translation : Yea, you need the wireless adapter plus the wireless router. Or... just plug the thing in with a network cable. As it stands, direct cables are still superior in quality and reliability to wireless.

WHY post this in system wars. Its not a 360 problem, its a networking problem. make sure the port is open and reset the modem and router. if that dosent work call MS and they will do it for you.

You can either get the 360 wireless adapter ($99) or you can buy a wireless bridge probably for about half of that.

Unless you bought that Wi-fi adapter for 360 you can't wirelessly connect to that router.

else use that RJ45 Cord (broad band cable) that came with your 360 and connect it to your router, have your internet 360 settings set to auto and that should do it.

The only mistake here is the ps3, for me the worst console I've ever seen, it is like it isn't a GAMING console anymore, and lol at that crappy gamertag.

$99!??!??!???!! I bought this used, it's a core with a 20gig hard-drive all for $300 canadian (360's are $100 more here), so no ethernet cable, strangley it came with absolutley EVERYTHING else. so can I buy a cheap 3rd party ethernet cable? and before any of you say 'OMG USED? HARDWARE PHAILURE LOLZ!' The guy who works at the store I got it from knows the guy who sold it there, he only had it for 2 weeks, but his wife made him sell it. So it's only 2 weeks and 1 day old, and I'm under the stores 30-day warranty, and I have microsofts 1-year warranty. So can I buy a cheap 3rd party or computer ethernet cable?

That was uncalled for. I don't go into "Need help with PS3 this or that" topics and tell them their first mistake was buying a PS3. You aren't doing anything any lemming fanboy wouldn't do, the only difference is that you are a cow. If you can't tell him where he can find help, what is wrong, or what games he should get, do not post in this topic. That wasn't even stating an opinion. That was just you trolling. Noone thinks your fakeboy acts are funny. If they were, we'd let you know.

Any third party adapter can work with the 360, some of which won't even cost you 30 bucks. Even the old Xbox 1 adapter works. Just find it used. You can probably get it for 20 bucks. Maybe 30.

yes you can go to basically any computer store and just get an ethernet cable to connect it directly to your router. I assumed you wanted to connect it wirelessly, if that is the case you'll need to purchase the wireless adapter or a wireless bridge. Good luck.

Don't pay $99 for a slower connection when you can find 50 foot cables for around $10.
