Wireless xbox connection?

Hello!

Having just purchased some wireless equipment for my broadband (see my previous threads), I was wondering what I would need to connect my xbox (first one) to the wireless modem router - I think microsoft might sell something but this will obviously be incredibly overpriced.

Any help will be much appreciated!

    It can be done but I'm not sure what you need . https://www.xbox-hq.com will have the answer for you. They have a newbie section on the forum and they're very friendly unlike a lot of similar places so ask on there and you should get a very quick response.

    Is this the sort of thing I would connect to my xbox?

    Gaming Bridge

    or this one:

    netgear

    More expensive than i thought!

    Hey sj cooper, hows the footie game going? lol

    The xbox doesnt have no inputs for any kind of wireless card so you still need to run a network cable to something. And you've got it right, a gaming bridge will work here. Run a cable from xbox to the gaming bridge, then the gaming bridge communicates with your WAP (wireless access point).
    I'm better off without you.
