I have set up xbox live before on a wireless network. But in Ames the wireless internet was free from the apartment building. I have a wireless adapter for my xbox 360. I am trying to set it up in my new place. I got the wireless internet to work and secured but I cannot figure out how to get the connection to work with my xbox360. I was looking at how to set it up and I cant figure out where to search for available networks so I can enter my network key and get on it. Does anyone know how to find the network with the 360 so i can access xbox live?

When you go online with a laptop, isn't the first screen typically some login screen? That could mess some things up.

Dude, its easy. Just go to your network setting on your Xbox 360 and there should be a place where it can detect your wireless network. If its secured, it will prompt you for the password and you just enter it using your controller.

is your wireless SSID hidden? If so, either you have to 'type' it in the XBOX settings for it to register or unhide it in your routers settings.

I couldnt find the spot to search the wireless networks availeble for me to enter the password. But I read the instructions found the spot and got it working. It was 3 sections down on the edit settings screen
