Xbox Help

[S Freud]

So I want to hook my Xbox up to play Xbox live with, I heard that you can use a router to pickup the wireless signal. I was wondering if someone could tell me if This Router would work. And I was wondering if someone could tell me how to set it up.


Thanks

WRONG FORUM

I use this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a...99-101&CMP=KNC-overturesmx&ATT=product
and it has never had any problems.

To configure it, you just plug it into your computer and then use the disc that comes with it (or dl the prog from their site) and it will auto configure the adapter for you (unless you have an encryption, you have to type that manually)

Thanks JDrake, I will try that.

oh yeah i was gonna get this but iirc it doesnt support wpa

edit: there was a zonet or something wireless router on sale in hot deals, you might want to check that out ... it was wireless g. i dont think it matters with xbox though, since not that much data is being passed back and forth

AFAIK they don't. WEP only.

Get a linksys, flash it with 3rd party firmware and turn it into a workgroup bridge.

oh, and OP - WRONG FORUM. The networking forum has a ton of really knowledgable people that can easily answer your question.
