Tutorial: Connecting Xbox Wireless-G Adapter to Xbox 360

Over 100,000 Video Views, I like to thank all those who view, rated, and commented this video. :D!

This is a brief and simple step-by-step process in using the Xbox Wireless-G Adapter for the Xbox 1 Console that can also be used on the Xbox 360 by following these simple steps,

1. Connect a ethernet cable from the Adapter to the 360.

2. Go to System Blade and in that go to Network Settings.

3. Then go to Wireless Mode to search for your Wireless Network, if there is a password required to enter it will automatically ask you what the password is and input it.

4. Make sure you set IP and DNS settings on Automatic. You might need to input the MAC Address on Additional Settings if it says IP Fails which you can find out the MAC Address by using your PC.

- Go to Start/Run and type CMD

- Then type ipconfig /all

- A list should be on there and one of the things listed is the MAC Address, copy what you see there and input it on the Xbox 360.

After that test your connection and you should be good. Remember you only pay around $60 and below instead of buying the Xbox 360's Network Wireless Adapter which costs $100. I hope this video helps out for those in need and I hope it saves up your money to spend it on games or whatever.

NOTE: Some people might have problems trying to get it to work with your console, though issues may vary and I don't have answers to all of them. Your best bet is to call Xbox 360 support, since both products are Microsoft 1st party products they are willing to help. Their number is 1-800-4MY-XBOX. Hope this Helps!

@ndawsome the setup at my dad's place at the time is wireless and the modem is in the basement

does this still work??

[FLIPINOM4D]

@kaybuttaondeck as of now it should still work though note it won't work for everyone's 360s but it should work.

keeps saying invalid WEP key which is not true what do i do?

[uagrad89]

@uagrad89 I figured out my own problem, which is really pretty simple - the old wireless g adapter uses the WEP security algorithm while wireless-N routers use the stronger WPA. Unless you hack the MN-740 - which I am not willing to do - you have to set your router back to the old standard which precludes you from using wireless-N, which sort of defeats the purpose. If you're using a wireless-G router I would think this way is fine.If not there's always the Ethernet over power line option.

[uagrad89]

For the record, Microsoft's official policy is that this adapter will NOT work for the 360 and they will not offer tech suppot for doing so - I have tried to get this set up for about 3 hours with no success so far, using the MAC addresses and everything (my computer has 4 and I've tried every one), and I don't know what the problem is, but I'll get it connected eventually. Microsoft's online help was not very helpful when they realized which adapter it actually was.
