The 360 can't be connected by USB, it has an Ethernet port if you want to wire it into the router.

You can do that by buying a long Ethernet cable and running it from one of the spare sockets on your router down to your 360.

Alternatively you can buy a wireless adaptor for your 360 from anywhere that sells 360 stuff, Tesco would probably be your best bet for getting it cheaply or look on eBay. New, they're around £60 and it's the only way to make your 360 wireless compatible - gotta love Microsoft.

Whichever method you choose, the 360 should work it all out automatically and if you get any problems check out the support info on xbox.com - very useful

make sure your routers NAT settings are set to open or you will find it very unreliable when playing online!!
