LOL are you telling me Xbox doesn't have the option for wireless connections without that adapter?
Oh god, get with the times.

It does, but it requires you buy the wireless adapter!

Boo hoo you have to fork $20-$30 for a wireless stuff when you can just use the damn ethernet cable included.

$20-$30? No, not really.
More like $79.95 to $119.88

Even on NewEgg it's still loving expensive.

This thing is less than a router and yet it costs the same as one.

We could have done this for several places in my house but Ethernet cables hooked directly into a router or modem are just so much better.

A 100ft Cable is only 30$ now, I mean come on that's half the price of a new Xbox game.

And one third the price of the adaptor.

You're doing it wrong.

Daymn Son, i'm glad to be about 20$ off, the cheaper the better right?

Basically the adapters just dont cut it and unless you have like Wireless N or something playing xbox wireless will not work as well as plugging it into the wall. And if people are using that internet connection it just makes it worse.

It can be done on many basic OSs, including XP, Vista and Mac Ostuff X.

A. Go to start, connect to, show all connections.
 B. Make sure sharing is off.

Can't you just use any wireless adapter?

I would think, but if you have a laptop, try this.
