Connect Xbox to Xbox LIVE with a wireless router

[PC Prof]

To connect your Xbox console to Xbox LIVE with your wireless router:

1.   Set up a Router Connection from your wireless router to the Internet.

2.   According to your router manufacturer’s instructions, write down the SSID and channel of your wireless router. If you are unfamiliar with your router's SSID and channel, see your router documentation.

3.   According to your adapter manufacturer's instructions, connect your wireless-to-Ethernet bridge to your Xbox console.
 
4.   From the Xbox Dashboard, select Settings, Network Settings, Advanced, and Wireless.
 
5.   From the Wireless Status screen, select Settings.
 
6.   Your router can be configured to either broadcast or not broadcast its SSID. If your router is configured to broadcast its SSID, see step 6a below. If it is configured to not broadcast its SSID, see step 6b below. The Xbox Dashboard will list the SSIDs that your Xbox Compatible wireless bridge finds. If the Xbox Dashboard doesn’t show your router's SSID, your router isn’t broadcasting the SSID.
 
a)   If the SSID is broadcast, select the SSID (written down instep 2) of your wireless router from the list of SSIDs in the Select Network screen.

b)   If the SSID is not broadcast, select OTHER from the list on the Select Network screen. Then enter the SSID (written down in step 2) using the Xbox Dashboard virtual keyboard.

7.   From the Wireless Settings screen, select Network Mode as Infrastructure. Select Security Type and configure the Xbox Compatible wireless bridge with the same security settings (NONE, 64-bit WEP , or 128-bit WEP) as your wireless router.
Important:
The Xbox Dashboard supports 64- and 128-bit WEP encryption for Xbox Compatible wireless bridges. Microsoft highly recommends that you secure your wireless network by taking advantage of 128-bit WEP encryption. However, the use of WEP is not required for any Xbox Compatible wireless bridge to connect to a wireless router.

8.   Press A to save the new settings, and then B to go back.

 
9.   From the Wireless Status screen, check that your Xbox console is connected to the network name (SSID) specified in Step 6.

10.   Press B twice to go back. From the Network Settings screen, select Connect to connect to XboxLIVE.

11.   From the Connect Status screen, verify that the Xbox console connects to Xbox LIVE.
