How to Connect to Xbox 360 Live Wireless
If you have an active Internet connection in your home you can connect to the online service called XBOX Live through your XBOX 360 game console to download content or play games with other XBOX Live users. Normally you would need to connect an Ethernet cable from your console to your router, but if you have a wireless network setup you can also connect wirelessly by taking advantage of a special network adapter sold by Microsoft.
