Don't pay for an Xbox wireless adapter




If your too far from the router and can't use a wired connection.  The next step is go wireless but  your going to pay $50 to $70 to get a "wireless N Network adapter".

With all the expenses associated with gaming, there's no need to spend the extra money to buy equipment that you really don't need. Take it from me, my whole family games and it can get expensive. 

That's why were going to show you how to use a laptop as your wireless adapter.
 
I'll write the steps out photos included.   If you want a video on how to hook this up
let me know.


Step, 1) Your need a laptop, Xbox, & ethernet cable (Network Cable) .














Step, 2) Plug in ethernet cable to Xbox.  Then to the laptop.

Step, 3) Go to the start menu on laptop.  Type "Internet connection" you'll see "view network. connections" click on it.


















Step, 4) You'll see local area connection & wireless network connection.   Highlight both of them. Next, right click.  You should see a list. Click "bridge connections".  A router should appear
This will take a few minutes to connect.


















Step, 5) Turn on the Xbox & it should sign you in right away.  If it does not sign you in automatically, simply sign in to your account.



                               *** You can still browse the web while the connection  is bridged.



HOW TO UNBRIDGE YOUR CONNECTION

Go back to "view network connections".  Highlight the "bridge".  Right click.  A list will appear.  Click delete or Disable.




Well, that's it, I hope this helped out if you have a question let me know.
