Ok heres the deal, I would like to connect my Xbpx up the the internet.
I did this before with a Linksys router, which was easy I just ran the lines from the router to the computer and xbox.
Now my xbox is to far for me to run a wire so I want wireless. It has to be fast wireless too.
So I bought this wireless Nyko product. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5723782822&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT But basically its just a switch, so when I go to use it I have to cycle the modem, and I cannot use the computer the same time as the xbox and vice versa. Which is something I need.
So... I need a router..... I'm sure I could use the router and this Nyko product and it would work great. But was wondering what my other options are....
Wireless routers, does that come with a few recievers so I can just plug into the back of my xbox and be ready to go, or is it something else?
I see routers for sale on Ebay $10, wireless for about $30 (don't know if this comes with recievers or whats wireless about em)
So help me out and give soem advice please.
*** I was just looking up the wireless routers and apperantly I would need to buy a gaming adapter and the one I looked at cost an additional $80:scary: .. looks like I'm going with a standard cheap router and the Nyko device.
