Admin Mk2Jo Posted October 9, 2009 Admin Report Posted October 9, 2009 Right then ... I know fook all about computers and stuff My son has got X-Box Live for his birthday next week. I have a computer - not wireless. I have the X-Box 360. I have the X-Box Live Disc. What do I do please to get it up and running (in simple terms please ). Thank you
SmokeEm Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Ideally you need to go wireless Jo or else his X-Box cable will have to plug into your current router. Doesn't cost much to go wireless
Admin Mk2Jo Posted October 9, 2009 Author Admin Report Posted October 9, 2009 How do I go wireless then?
Copey Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 you buy a wireless plugin thing for the back and then go into settings and connections pick the wireless network you want to connect to and then enter your WEP or WPA code in the xbox and hey presto youre done EDIT: thats assuming you have a wireless network at home?
Admin Mk2Jo Posted October 9, 2009 Author Admin Report Posted October 9, 2009 I've been told I need a wireless router AND the XBOX wireless adaptor ... sounds like it's gonna be expensive
Copey Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 righty, for a cheap decent router get a 3com one we had one and it was ace! much better than the netgear ones this is the one we had, i will see if we still have it and if dad would sell it http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3com-Wireless-Rou ... 286.c0.m14 and the xbox one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Microsoft-Xbox-Wi ... 286.c0.m14
Admin Mk2Jo Posted October 9, 2009 Author Admin Report Posted October 9, 2009 cheeRS mister .... I have a router coming to me now from the IT guys at work as my internet is all configured through them and this will come all ready to go However, that is a good e-bay link for the adaptor and I shall go for that. Thanks mate Much appreciated
Copey Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 no problems, if you ebay x-box wireless adapter there are a load on there, some ending sooner than that one

Badgerman85 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 awesome, all you need to do is tap the wireless passkey into the xbox ( providing youve got the wireless adapter for it ) and away you go
Admin Mk2Jo Posted October 12, 2009 Author Admin Report Posted October 12, 2009 Still got to order the wireless adaptor but can't afford it this month
