Can I use my Pro as a WiFi receiver for my 360?

[TurboFool]

lol, talk about fanboy garbage. Xbox 360 doesn't have WiFi built in, and also costs $100 less than a comparable PS3. Hmmm... what a coincidence. Sorry guys, I bought my system for the games, not the Blu-Ray, so considering the selection, I'm a lot happier with my 360 than I would be a PS3. To each their own, but just think for a second about why things cost what they do, and why people would have reasons to buy the systems they did before trashing the competition blindly. I love my 360, and wouldn't consider trading it for a PS3 for anything. Also love my Wii.

Um, no. Also absurdly impossible.

PS3...pff...that thing stinks. I don't think this is a stupid question at all and it deserves some attention.

The 360 can't run internet through USB, only through the internet. There are multiple ways to get around it, however. For one, there are some generic ethernet Wifi connectors that will work for the 360; I know they sell a few at Best Buy. Once you find a compatible one, you can find it cheap online.

Second, and my personal favorite, is running your 360 through your laptop's wireless connection. I've been doing this flawlessly for around 2 years now and I've had no problems; all you have to do is bridge the connection from your wireless to your ethernet port, and run a cable to the 360.

Now HERE is where the phone comes in. I haven't tried it myself, but theoretically if you use the phone as a modem, you MIGHT be able to bridge the connection to your 360. To make a completely portable gaming system, look up the Adaptec gambridge, which will allow you the plug your 360 into any computer (laptops included) and play through the screen via an accompanied program. It works really well, too, even through standard USB as mine does. If you can't bridge the connection, you could always set up your phone to "send out" it's internet, acting as a quasi-wireless router, and pick it up that way. Hook the phone to your PC to charge and VOILA! You have internet gaming!

i have done a variant on this idea, i have the 360 wireless adapter and i will connect my TP to the laptop, bridge the TP with my wireless network connection and create an adhoc network. connect the xbox through the the wireless adapter, and again VOILA! it works well.

Meh, My wii sits on a table getting dusty. No good games for it. My 360 and PS3 sit too. But my ps3 and 360 sometimes get played when a new title comes out thats good. Otherwise i just play My pc. PC ftw!

Yea get wifirouter and you can use your TP as an Internet wireless access point for OS3 or xbox. Also for xbox you can go chaper by buying a $40 router, instaling ddwrt, and putting it in client bridged mode to be uses as a wireless card. works much better than a wireless card in my experience

LOST PLANET & FORZA 2!!!!!!!!!!!

theres several people out here with several easy methods

People sure seem to have lost track pretty darn fast of what the OP asked for, which was to be able to use the Touch Pro as a WiFi adapter without using his internet connection. His question's been answered, it's not possible.
