Which is faster hard wired or wireless xbox 360 network adapter

Try rebooting your router. Do this by unplugging the routers power cable and reconnecting it.

To connect your Xbox 360 gaming console to a NETGEAR router's wireless network:

1. Turn off your Xbox 360 and disconnect anything from the I/O port on the back of the console.
2. Insert your Xbox 360 wireless adapter to the I/O port as instructed by the wireless adapter manual.
3. Connect the wireless adapter cable to your Xbox 360 I/O port.
4. Flip up the network adapter's antenna.
5. Turn on your Xbox 360.
6. • If you are using an unencrypted wireless network, your Xbox should connect to it automatically and you do not need to proceed to Step 6.
   • If you are using an encrypted wireless network click the System tab, and then click Network Settings and continue with Step 6.
7. On the Network Settings page, select Edit Settings.
8. On the Edit Settings page, select your wireless settings on the Basic Settings tab.
9. On the Select Wireless Network page, select your wireless network.
10. On the WEP Network page, type your wireless network key, and then click Done.
11. • The wireless network key is simply the password for your wireless network. If you do not remember your wireless network password, please see the following article:
      Forgotten or Lost Password for Wireless Networks and Devices
12. On the Apply Settings page, click Test Xbox Live.
13. If this is the first time you have connected your Xbox 360 to Xbox Live, you will probably be prompted to apply an update. If there are no updates, the Xbox Live Connection page shows that you're connected to Xbox Live. Press the Y button on your controller to continue.

If testing the Xbox it says DNS failed, then update your NETGEAR router firmware:

1. From your computer, open an Internet Browser and navigate to http://kb.netgear.com to download the firmware for your router.
2. Log in to your NETGEAR router by browsing to http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. Enter the username (admin) and password. By default, the password is password or 1234 unless it has already been changed.
3. Click Router Upgrade on the top left pane under Maintenance, browse for the firmware downloaded and click Upload.
4. Wait for the router to reboot.

Try setting your wireless to 54mbps ... you will need to log into your router to do this.

This is beacuse there is NAT on the router for which you need to open certain TCP/UDP Ports on the router . but firtstly you need to Bridge the Verizon DSl Modem set up the internet connection as per same .

ok, so if you want to do it wirelessly you need to get the wireless network adapter for the 360. i got mine at target for about 100 bucks. You also will need a Xbox live Gold card if you are wanting to play with your friends. you can also get your subcription over the xbox by using a credit card. The setup is pretty simple, just follow the on screan instructions. I am assuming your dashboard uses the "blades". if so, go over to the marketplace section, and go to join xbox live. then it will guide you through the process.

Hope this helps you.

Yes ma'am, that card will be fine.

You need to have the specific wireless adapter made for the Xbox 360. It runs about $100. Other wireless adapters (for some reason) will not work. I tried 6 different ones before I gave up and hard wired the Xbox 360.

yes, just dont run more than 2 computers while playing..from your router..

You cannot use the netgear wi-fi adapter as the xbox 360 will not be able to detect it. I suggest buying the wi-fi adapter specifically manufactured for the xbox360
