    Xbox 360 WiFi adapter solid red won't connect?

    Hi,

    Which adapter are you using?

    See this page for help

    support.xbox.com/.../wireless-network-adapter

    It either isn't being recognised or ready to connect, depending on which adapter you have

    Connect a wireless adapter (original Xbox 360 console only)

    If you want to enjoy the Xbox LIVE entertainment experience, you have to first connect an Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter to your original Xbox 360 console.

    Steps to Follow

    1) Use the plastic tabs on the adapter to secure it into the slots at the back of your console.

    2) Plug the USB cable of the adapter into the USB port of your console.

    3) If you have any network cable plugged into the back of your console you should unplug it.

    4) Flip up the antennae of the wireless adapter and check the light on it. If the light is green, you are ready to proceed to the next step.

    If there is no green light on the adapter, you have to troubleshoot it.

    If you have a Kinetic sensor, you should read instructions for Extension cables and USB hubs with the Kinetic sensor.

    Which wireless network adapter should i buy?

    If it is only around the corner and short distance away from your router id personally just use a long ethernet cable to connect your xbox to the interne. Most computer and electronic shops have them, be sure to get a Cat 6 fibre optic ethernet cable. A,B,G
    and N are all wireless connection signal speeds. If look at your router to see if it supports N, id get the N adapter for your console if your router is compatible with N connections if you want to go the wireless route. Wireless G is okay for gaming but isn't
    as good as N type connections. Personally if your television is just around the corner id go and get a good quality ethernet cable.

    Ah ok fair enough just go for what you can afford and get a G adapter for your 360. Also I forgot to mention the N band signal also offers more signal coverage but you probably don't need to worry about that either as your router is only around the corner
    from your television. Nether or less whatever you decide on both adapters will do what you need them to do. The only thing you might need to worry about (though rare) is other devices that could potentially block the signal if used at the same. Some microwaves,
    wireless headsets and lawn mowers can possibly disrupt the wireless signal if they work on a similar frequency as the adapter. Just keep that in mind when using a wireless connection.

    Xbox won't connect through cell phone WIFI hot spot

    Greetings!

    Just to clearify one thing. For example, the internal wireless N network adapter do not have the same chip, nor the same driver as the external wireless N network adapter. So basically, you can not compare these two with each other. There are cases which the
    internal N adapter can not connect to certain wireless gateway's where the external N adapter can without any issues. In such cases, the wireless gateway's firmware are not compatible with the internal wireless N adapter. The first thing one should do is try
    to update the router's firmware (if this is possible).

    Do you still have the external wireless network adapter?
