Connecting an Xbox 360 to a Wired Home Network

Connect to the Internet

The first step is to connect your Xbox 360 console to your Internet connection. Here’s how:

Plug one end of a network cable into a port on your router or gateway. You might need a long network cable, depending upon on the location of your router or modem. Note If you do not have a router, you can plug the network cable directly into your modem.
Plug the other end of the network cable into the back of your console.

Test your connection

Now that your console is connected to the Internet, test your connection to Xbox LIVE. To do that, follow these steps:

Press the Guide button on your controller (Xbox button in the center of your controller).
Go to Settings, and then select System Settings.
Select Network Settings.
Select Wired Network if you are prompted to do so.
Select Test Xbox LIVE Connection.
Select Yes if you are prompted to update your console software.
