XBox 360 Wireless network adaptor

stevemcol

Hello

I've bought one second hand off ebay as a present. No instuctions and I'll probably have to help set up. Any tips?
Can I test it with my PC? It tries to install but then looks for a driver that I don't have.

It will be used with a netgear router that is already happily working wired.

Thanks

Steve

Quick set up guide HERE. From what i remember the drivers are already installed on the xbox.

Because it's a present, I'd like to test it first. Is it possible to do this with a pc? Haven't managed to so far.

I have looked in the past and there were no drivers for the PC for the wireless controler, the 360 has them built in and it isnt possible to put any other wireless adaptor in the 360 as there are no drivers sneeky microsoft.

to install is easy, the harest part was getting it out of the packageing, you plug it in and clip it on to the back of the console, if the wireless network is DHCP enabled you will get the IP details automatically and get connected. Hopfully your receiver of the gift will have a wireless router with some security and they will need to enter the wireless network key whihc an be a pain the onsccreen keyboard isnt the best of things butt hat is all there is to it.
