mamejay Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Hey Mickey, i have seen these external network adapters to convert non-wireless devices to wireless. Used for XBOX1 etc. I have had a hunt but cannot see any. i am sure they have the on eBay. I will post up a link if I find something. Found a link. something like this will do the trick http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2-4GHz-Wireless-Gaming-Adapter-Suitable-XBOX-P2-/270693412790?pt=AU_Video_Game_Accessories&hash=item3f0695afb6 Edited January 20, 2011 by mamejay Found the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewitson Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 That's not a very good one.. Only supports WEP. I reckon you could probably get a proper wireless bridge with 4 ethernet ports for about the same price as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamejay Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well then, Why don't you post up a link to a "better one" then if you think you can find one? I am just trying to help another member. Pointing him in the right direction and letting him know there is another option than using a laptop. Why did you not suggest this before I posted? Are you just waiting in the background to add your negative spin to anyone's posts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan555 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I remember back in the day you could use one of these on the original xbox. D-Link DWL-G810 http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=241 Can not buy them new anymore. Maybe these could to the job? http://www.dlink.com.au/products/?pid=663 or http://www.dlink.com.au/products/?pid=848 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattT Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 It's a Unix system! I know thi... *ahem* Yes, router as bridge is the way to go. Just went through all this again yesterday after my modem fried itself. Here's what you do: Grab yourself a wireless router than can be flashed with DD-WRT (check their site for a list of compatible hardware - I got a Linksys WRT54G), then flash it. It's really, really easy. Grab yourself a laptop. Disable wireless. Open the TCP/IP properties for your laptop's ethernet and give it a manual IP 192.168.1.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.1.1 Plug in the router and connect it to your laptop with a cable Browse to 192.168.1.1 and log in (root / admin) Setup > Basic > change router IP to 192.168.1.100, default gateway to 192.168.1.1 (assuming this is the IP for your modem), disable DHCP server, save settings Browse to 192.168.1.100, log in Setup > Wireless > set mode to 'Client Bridge' Setup > Wireless > Security and match the settings of your modem Status > Wireless > scroll way down > Site Survey > click to join your wireless network Save all your settings, checking they're still as above (I've noticed sometimes 'Client Bridge' changes to 'Client' for some reason) - reboot the router Unplug the ethernet cable, change your laptop's TCP/IP settings back to auto, count to ten, plug it back in Open the command prompt and type 'ipconfig'. You should have received an IP in the 192.168.1.x range (eg 192.168.1.3). Crack open your browser and confirm you can surf the net. If all is OK, just unplug the laptop, plug in your Xbox and turn it on. If all isn't OK, start trouble shooting. Troubleshooting Fire up your laptop's wireless and confirm you can connect to the modem. For some reason people like to take this opportunity to change their wireless security settings, but don't reboot their routers. Hell, just reboot the router and the modem anyway and try again. Triple check that your wireless security settings match. Check that you changed your laptop ethernet back to auto. Check that you changed the router's IP to something different to, but in the same range as, your modem, and that the gateway is your modem's IP What's that? It's not working, and your ethernet connection has a weird IP and you can't connect to the router anymore to check its settings? Don't panic - go into the TCP/IP settings for your laptop ethernet again, and change them to 192.168.1.x as above. Wait a sec for the change to take effect and you'll be able to connect to the router again (you need to be on the same 192.168.1.x subnet!) It looks like a lot, but it's really just 'Control Panel > manual IP > 192.16.1.1 > change a few settings > save, save, save > back to auto IP > all good.
