I was just wondering, as my pc doesn’t have a wireless adapter working as i cant find the drivers ( ralink rt2560 ) which i cant seem to find anywhere on the internet, can i use an xbox 360 wireless bridge as a usb wireless adapter in my pc? and how? or if that is not possible can i connect my pc to my xbox via ethernet cable and use the xbox as a access point? so i connect to the internet through my xbox 360.
Seb.
I am in the market of buying a new wireless router. The wireless router, needs to have great range, great wireless speeds, compatable with 2 Xbox 360′s playing toghter Simultaneously on Xbox live(one xbox will be wired to the router and the other will connect to the router threw a wireless bridge; I am using a linksysWGA54G wireless game adaptor), Nintendo wii,Nintendo DS, Ps2,Ps3 and a Windows xp computer.
Please note:
If you reccomened my a wireless router, please let me know if you had to do a firmware update, on that router.
Let me know if the router has needed a power cycle because something went wrong, like drop connection.
Please make sure, that for the Xbox’s that the router is going to make the Nat stay open.
Thank you for your time.
Here’s the scenario: We used to have two separate routers in our home network- some Westell router and of course the trusty Linksys WRT54G router as a range extender. However, when we switched to the AT&T internet, those guys brought their own special router, which replaced both of our existing ones. So the deal is, those two perfectly good routers have been sitting in the closet, collecting dust and god knows what else. And we happen to have an extra PC in the basement, also gathering dust. Since we’re always fighting for the computer that has the printer attached to it, especially when it comes to school projects, I decided to set up a home server from the computer in the basement, with a printer attached to it so we can print from anywhere in the house. Since the ATT router is upstairs, I have no way of connecting the basement PC (soon to be server) to the home network except for a wireless adapter, which, considering the amount of wireless junk we already have, I really don’t want to buy.
Bottom line: is there any way I can configure the Linksys router to be used as wireless adapter for the PC, or
would configuring it as a Wireless Bridge allow it to "talk" to the primary router
thanks for any feedback
I’ve done my homework as far as DD-WRT is concerned; however, the one thing I didn’t understand was, after downloading the new firmware, how does one "flash" it to the router? I heard that you have to transfer the new firmware to the router by means of the web user interface, but I have yet to find such an interface. Thanks for responding!
Here’s the deal:
I have a Buffalo router (main router) upstairs, running Tomato firmware. Every device works fine with it (wirelessly) except my Xbox 360 which just can’t see it for some reason. So I have a Linksys WRT54G v4 running Tomato that I plan to set up in the basement along with the Xbox 360. How do I set up the Linksys so that it acts as a client and connects to the Buffalo upstairs? Do I need WDS mode, or "Wireless Client" or "Wireless Bridge"?
Thanks!
Hello, I’m thinking about setting up wireless internet in my home, mainly for xbox live. My question is that my computer is downstairs, and my Xbox is upstairs. Will my router be able to reach the wireless bridge upstairs connected to my Xbox? Does wireless internet spread throughout the whole house, or just the level where the router/access point is?
I’m thinking about buying a linksys router that is also an access point, and of course a linksys bridge to connect to my xbox.
Hi
I’m trying to beam internet up to my friends house using a wireless bridge (approx 320m LoS) with 20dB yagi antenna’s and so far it seems to be working alright, except i have a mess at my house from all the equip, so far i have a modem connected via cat5 to 2 routers. one single antenna router wireless(g) which is connected to the yagi to send internet up to my mates place and a 2-antenna wireless(n) for internet around the house.
my question is, can i buy a 2-antenna wireless(n) ADSL2+ router and have the yagi conected to one antenna jack and the omni-directional on the other? or do the clients have to see both antenna’s?
(cos the omni-directional definatly wont reach 320m
So I have a computer desktop that I am wanting to connect to the internet through a wireless bridge. Its a lynksys wireless-B Ethernet Bridge. I recently moved into a house where other people have internet on Mac Laptops, however I just have a dell desktop. When I plug my computer into the bridge through the bridge, I get three lights to come on. Power, Lan and Wlan. When I go to netowkr places I cna see that some packets are being sent and fewer recieved. However I have absolutely no internet connection. The other computers work fine but I cannot get my computer to connect for the life of me. I am not especially computer savy so any help would be much appreciated. Any help would be very appreciated as I am having to take a mandatory online class for college this quarter. PLEASE help. I have no one else to ask!
Oh and I know my computer works properly because I just brought it here two days ago and it worked fine at my other residence. I however there was connected by a direct connection to my tower.
Oh and also too I disabled firewall with no change
Let’s say that I have 2 computers, both desktops, and both in far separate rooms. I can’t reach both of them through Ethernet wires from my router, and I just did some research and found out that a "Wireless Ethernet Bridge" seems like a good idea.
My question is, what does this wireless bridge do exactly, and if I’m thinking right, the computers will have a sort of wireless plug from the back of the computer.
Last thing, is the ‘wireless plug’ into the back of the computer USB or does it go into the Ethernet port?
Thanks in advance.
I already have a modem that is connected to a router. This router feeds off 2 long wires to 2 different computers, I just want an easier way for them to have internet without all the hassle of wires everywhere.
I have 2 computers in my house.
Computer A is connected to a wireless belkin router using a wireless usb adapter. Internet works fine as you can see.
Computer B does not have working usb ports and thus cant use a wireless usb adapter.
I have another belkin router that I want computer A and computer B to connect to. How do I setup a bridge or ICS so that computer B connects to the internet through the belkin router and through computer A’s wireless connection. Both computers are windows xp pro SP3.
I have tried a simply ICS and comp B cant connect. I tried a lan/wireless bridge and for a time comp A could still use the internet but comp B could not. As soon as the bridge connected to the lan, comp B had a balloon popup that said there was an IP address conflict. I dont know where I would need to change the IP addresses since both the wired and wireless belkin routers use the same default getway of 192.168.2.1 and with the bridge the wired router is "unavailable". help?
I do not have the money for a wireless card in computer B, but I need B online and dont know where or how to setup Ip address manually nor know much about networking. If I were to connect B to A directly using ethernet cable I have concerns due to the mention on other sites of cross-over cables and null modems. I need a way to share computer A’s wireless internet to B with little to know money involved. Please.
