Need help from Xbox 360 users.

Post » Mon May 07, 2012 5:15 pm

Hi everyone! I'm new here, and need some advice/help. I don't have xbox live nor do I have broadband internet connection. I have two questions.
1: is there ANY way to get game patches with out xbox live?
2: if 1 is out of the question. If I have a wireless adapter (which I don't yet.) Can I use my dads hTC phone from Sprint that can emit WiFi to get patches/updates? We have the unlimited data plan.
I tried looking it up but didn't get much out of it, and I'm not very net savvy. Thanks :)

1. No.

2. Yes- you have to tether the phone to your Xbox somehow though. And you'll need an Xbox live account, which is free.

Ok thanks :)
When you say tether you mean directly hook it to the xbox with some sort of cord? Most likely a Ethernet cable or something?

Turn off Wi-Fi power by touching Apps > Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi.
Touch Apps > Settings > Wireless &networks > Tethering & portable hotspot.
Touch Wi-Fi hotspot to turn on the hotspot.
Touch Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings to change hotspot security and configuration:

Network SSID – Enter a unique name for your hotspot and touch Next.
Security – Select Open or WPA2 PSK. If you select WPA2 PSK, enter a unique password. Other users can access your Wi-Fi hotspot only if they enter the correct password.



Touch Save when the settings are complete.


Alternatively - if you have no wifi capability on your 360 - plug a usb cable into the phone and plug the other end into your 360 then set the phone to act as a usb modem in the drop down menu ( im using my 4g atrix here so it may be a little different for you)

Ok thank you :) that's a perfect explanation, I won't be able to try it until later but I'll let you know if it works. Again thank you :)
