Xbox 360 Slim wifi problems

Smid Elm · May 11, 2014

It wont let me connect to my wifi at home, it worked while I was at school... my room at my house is located directly above the router, so I know I am plenty close to it. All it says is that I need a wireless adapter to connect to live. Quote from the message
they say....

"To use a wireless Internet connection, connect to an Xbox wireless Networking adapter to your console."

This is the only message it says and if I have a slim i shouldn't need a wireless adapter, I know it can connect to my wifi at my home because it has in the past and it did at school. I always take care of it when i transport it from area to area so i know
damage is not the problem.

If anybody could help in anyway I would very much appreciate that.

built-in wireless adapter

Hello.

If you have a Xbox 360 Slim (which as built-in wifi) and you are asked to attach an external networking adapter or an ethernet cable, then the internal wifi has malfunctioned and your Xbox 360 Slim will need to be repaired.

In most cases, this problem is a genuine hardware error and the console need a repair. Before arranging a repair, unplug the Xbox power supply and keep it powered down for 10 minutes. Reconnect everything and try to restore your console's network settings to
factory defaults.

If the above do not resolve the problem, you'll have to request a repair for your console at myservice.xbox.com.

Post back and let us know how it goes.

If you go there, you can see your type of problem, and then follow the steps to see if that helps you out.

When you test your connection, and then it fails, check what it tells you the problem might be, then fix that problem, and then maybe it will work.

Otherwise, if all of that fails, your wireless internet might not work well enough to support your Xbox.

Same problem here. My new xbox 360s connects to my network via internal wifi but it will not connect to xbox live. Everything else in the house connects fine. My xbox even connects when I plug in the old Adapter( from my last xbox) meaning the issue is with
the internal wifi. This is one reason I bought a new xbox slim(internal wifi) this is BS!
