Router to Router Wirelessly - Can it be done?
 

I'm trying to figure a way round throwing cables all over the house and not splash out on a wireless receiver on the xbox and came up with this maybe...

I have a spare wireless router, could I connect this up to the xbox with the ethernet cable and then connect wirelessly to the actual real wireless router downstairs that we all access from our PC's in the house to use the internet?

I think 3-com offered router-to-router connectivity on one of their models. But it was limited to other units of the same type so pretty much useless for most of us.

I suspect your best bet will be to look for an access point on Fleabay which is effectively a wireless to 10-baseT bridge.

yeah you can with a lot of routers. Just set it up as a wireless access point (WAP). Which model router is it?

Google is your friend :)

Not really Stu unless its a feature of the router. You can buy wifi network range extenders to do this though.

Also, you can buy a wifi adapter that you can connect the Xbox to.

I did this with an old homehub I picked up for peanuts on ebay

I worked with my billion adsl modem. Otherwise have a look at using powerline comtrend plugs for connecting up using the mains network in your house as an alternative

good idea, I use these to connect up my Slingbox at the other end of the house

Like I say, I have a few routers kicking around at home, so was just being tight I suppose. Those Comtrend powerline plugs look a good idea.

A lot of routers have this function as standard, and a lot of routers you can hack easily.

I use my laptop's wireless connection to connect my xbox to live... wirelessly :rolleyes:

Microsoft can get fudged if they think I'll pay £60 for a wireless card.

yeah i think some of the belkin range offer this feature and you bridge the connections i have never done this but im sure it can be done.
