To use a wireless adapter if you have a Kinect sensor:

  1. Attach the wireless adapter to the back of the console.
  2. Connect the wireless adapter cable to the extension cable.
  3. Plug the extension cable into a USB port on the front of the console.

This cable is included with most Kinect sensors. If you need one, you can order an Xbox 360 Kinect Extension Cable.
