  • I had a problem with mine setting it up wirelessly and never sorted it out:(
    I just wired it directly to the router via the ethernet cable in the end!

    Have you tried this?

    The wireless part should be easy to set up,

    OP have you tried this from xbox.com,

    the wired option is easier, should be able to get a cable for maybe £10 or less
