our Admin pages for the sucker. It's reasonably straightforward but it does
come out of the box with some restrictions that may need to be overridden
to 'see' the adapter. There should be a MAC address on the adapter that
may need to be punched into the router's Admin pages for it to recognize
it, but that still wouldn't make the full connection. The router's default is
a secure connection with the WEP key he indicated, but the weird part is
the 360's not recognizing the adapter hardware to allow him to punch all
that in - thus I suggested testing the Ethernet connection out on hardwire
first to see if the 360's got an unusual, but not impossible, issue.
