No. You can't use the internet router for a wireless adapter, because the X-box 360 has a USB port in the back, where the $100 dollar wireless adapter goes. The router is the internet transmitter/receiver, while the wireless adapter is a receiver. And when I say a receiver for the router, it means it will only take the internet and transmit it to you.
There are tons of reasons. Most common are secured wireless is enabled, MAC table is enabled, your wireless adapter is not compatible with your wireless router, wireless router does not work properly and so on.
The Xbox 360 wireless adapter allows you to connect to a wireless router without plugging it in directly. You still need the wireless router, and the router must still be connected to the internet. So no. You cannot get free internet access through a two-inch usb device.
Your router WILL need to be wireless to connect wirelessly to your Xbox, but you can use an ethernet cable if your router is not wireless, straight from the router to the XBOX
Your PS3 must have a wireless adapter installed if you want to connect to the internet wirelessly. Otherwise, if you don't you will have to use an Ethernet cable. If you have a wireless adapter installed on your PS3. You will need to connect it to your wireless router. Go to the wireless network menu on your PS3. Find the (SSID) network name of your network. Connect to it!
Check to make sure the router is connected to the internet. I had a problem like this once. Make sure you put in the correct wireless key. It will still say that it can connect to the router but you wont really be connected to it.
