No. A WiFi Router is not needed to use a WiFi USB adapter. You just need the internet and a compatible PC/Laptop like Windows XP / Vista. Just plug the USB in while you have the internet running and you are on WiFi.

Can a xox 360 Kinect connect to any xbox 360?

Yes here's how: If you have an Original Xbox 360, you will have one extra step. In your Kinect for Xbox 360 packaging you will find a power cord/USB adapter cable. With the Original Xbox 360, you simply plug the sensor into the adapter, the power adapter into a power socket and the USB portion of the adapter into the rear USB port on your console. Yeah, I know there are USB ports on the front… but using the rear USB port ensures you always have enough USB bandwidth for the sensor to work! Now remember, you will need to have that adapter plugged into a power outlet, so make sure you have one free. You might be thinking "Hey! Where do I put my WiFi Adapter then?' Also in your box, you'll find a handy USB extension cable-plug that cable into a front USB port or your 360 and then get the WiFi Adapter plugged in- This will allow you to plug the sensor into the back USB ports, and have your wireless adapter plugged into the front, also as the adapter is on an extension cable you can now adjust it's position more easily!

Adding detail to my question... I have a laptop that has full wifi, and another with no wifi, and it cannot use an adapter... Is there any way I can connect wirelessly to a spare router I have, as well as my internet enabled router (I have a USB WiFi adapter I could use to make 2 connections), and then connect the laptop with no wifi to the spare router via ethernet to get internet?
