The Xbox 360 does not have a wireless adapter built in. You must connect it through a CAT 5/5e/6 Ethernet cable, or purchase one of the Xbox Wireless Network adapters.

I want to connect my xbox 360 to xbox live through my dsl-200 modem but it only has 2 ports, what do I do?

D-Link routers empower gamers to easily connect their Microsoft xbox to network and experience lag-free online gaming. All you need is a D-Link router to go along with your broadband connection and xbox Live subscription and you can go head to head with friends and adversaries from around the world.

The D-Link DI-624 Wireless Broadband Router, DI-614+ Wireless Broadband Router, and the D-Link DI-604 Broadband Router have all passed the tests for compatibility with Microsoft xbox Live with specific firmware. Just download the specific compatible firmware listed below to your D-Link router before connecting to xbox Live.

  • Click here to upgrade your firmware.
  • Click here for xbox Live setup instructions with a router.
  • For xbox Live support, please visit www.xbox.com.

  • Thumbs back!

    Want to set xbox on line havnt got a clue

    If you have an original Xbox the online capability is obsolete and will no longer be supported by Microsoft if you have an Xbox 360 you need to purchase an xbox live account either at a retail location or online through your xbox dashboard (internet and credit card required). You need to connect a network cable to the back of the xbox the other end to your router or modem to access Xbox live. They also sell a wireless network adaptor for the 360 that you can use instead of a wired connection.

    Wireless not working

    Run the network tests from within the 360 menus - looking especially at the result for network address translation (NAT). If this is either limited or fail, you will need to change your router for one which is compatible with xbox live. Try xbox.com to work out which routers are recommended.

    As far as your router kicking him when you connected your pc, then you must have altered the access permissions of the router maybe by accident.

    If all else fails, turn off the pc, router, modem and 360. Find the reset button on your router and press/hold this for at least five seconds. Turn on the modem, then the router. Let that settle for a minute, then connect and setup 360 and laptop.

    XBOX Live & Netgear Router Help!!!!!!!!!!!

    You need a excellent signal to your Xbox. Xbox requires a constant connection. My son as an Xbox and we had to run a wire connection to the Xbox no problems after that. Or you need to move your wireless router to the same room as your xbox to get a stronger connection.

    Please rate my response.

    Xbox live stops working

    It is a conflict with your router and modem. If you have a WRT54G linksys router and a Ae60 modem then this conflict will happen. To stop it, buy a new modem or router OR connect to XBox LIVE wirelessly using the XBox 360 wireless adapter ($100).
