deaf_girl Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I asked this on another forum and no one really answered it.My cousin got a Xbox 360 and has a question about connecting to their home wireless network. Does he have to get the adapter from M$ or will a regular USB adapter (like Linksys) work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jwbirdsong Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 As long as they have the wireless adapter for the Xbox ( to receive the 'signal'...seen HERE ) any wireless router should work fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deaf_girl Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 They already have the wireless network setup. What I want to know is if they have to use the M$ wireless usb adapter or can they use a USB adapter from Linksys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garmanma Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 If I remember correctly, you have to kiss M$ and choke up the money. I've read this a few times but I can't remember where to provide you any linksMark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deaf_girl Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 This is what I've read so far. That with the M$ adapter, it's for the most part easy to set up and get going. With using a third party wireless adapter, there can be problems with drivers and such, to get connected. So, even though it's way overpriced, it's the easiest way to go.Thanks for your help guys. I guess he has to wait for Xmas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
