Icecoldbagey 35 Report post Posted August 20, 2012 Ok so I've got a problem and I'm sure (I hope) someone on these forums will be able to help. Basically I have wired internet in the house but have moved my Xbox 360 into the garage (got couches in there etc) Is there anyway I can plug in a wireless router in the garage to pick up the connection from the router in the house, and then use an ethernet cable from the router to the console? I know if there is a way that it will most likely mean a crappy internet connection on the 360 but any help would be appreciated! If it does mean a slow console connection, then any help improving that would be appreciated too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw one of those fucking bastards in a thrift shop for a couple of quid and didnt realise what it was at the time. Felt like throwing myself off a cliff.

Icecoldbagey 35 Report post Posted August 20, 2012 Cheers Cyantist, just had a look on E-bay and they all seem to be in the US. There is one on Amazon for £23.50 (used with no box) or a new one for £80!!! Still don't know how badly it would affect the connection though : / Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still don't know how badly it would affect the connection though : / Loads of companies do them, I'd steer clear of Belkin though. I had 3 routers from them crap out so I doubt the access points are much better. I don't think there'd be many effects. You'll probably get the same connection you'd get off your normal wireless.

Icecoldbagey 35 Report post Posted August 20, 2012 Ok just a few more questions to bother you with I'm using a talk talk router in the house atm (I know) so if I plug an access point in the garage will it detect it automatically? (without the need for the access point to be connected to a computer) and then just a straight wire from that to the 360? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers I think you have to connect a computer by ethernet to it once, open the options on the router and select SSID in there, then it's just a matter of connecting the xbox to it. Is your connection enough to play Xbox on TalkTalk? I had the misfortunate of playing xbox online at a friends who had TalkTalk - Dire to say the least. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecoldbagey 35 Report post Posted August 20, 2012 Yeah it hasn't been too bad for me with online gaming to be honest. It's still not a great speed though, the internet infrastructure in this country is an absolute joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
