Hi, i want to connect my xbox 360 to play online games.but i dont know how to. i heard that there is no inbuilt wi-fi adapter in this console.will a normal adapter that is used in computers work on the xbox 360.if this doesnt work please tell me a way to get my console online using a wired connection.Thanks.

Plug it in to a cable and it has internet. You have to sign up for XBox live and pay if you want to game online though.

I just have mine next to the router so I can plug it in. There are bridges and stuff you can use if you want to use wifi. Some linksys routers can be flashed to provide that functionality. You could also just get a wireless adapter for it like this

The Xbox 360 has built in Wi-Fi. I do recommend getting online as soon as possible, they're offering free games if you have a gold membership both for your future library when upgrading to Xbox One, as well as a seperate list of free games for your Xbox 360.

the elite models came with wifi built in. so it should be as easy as going into the settings and telling it what wifi signal to use.

if it does not work then one of the adapters microsoft sells (what megeman posted) is the other option assuming your not close enough to the router to plug in via ethernet.

i have seen these adapters in used stores for pretty cheap these days. can save a few bucks if you happen to have a used game store near you.

It does not have built in wifi. All fat 360's (not the newer slim ones) did NOT have built in wifi. You needed the 360 wireless adapter.

Oh, I confused it for the slim model. I remember it came with one of those adapters though, perhaps not required if you buy used.
