2 Xb360s, 2 Wireless Router/modems

[leungie]

Hi guys,

I have this problem that both my housemate and I have the XB360. I've got my 360 on the bottom floor and he's got his 360 on the first floor.

We both have a wireless router / modem.

Is there a way that both of us can get online without having to fork out $ for the wireless adapter thing for the 360?

Your help is much appreciated.

if you have a router you can run ethernet cables to both consoles from the router. its a more stable connection (i've noticed less lag against US players online) but you may not be able to stream audio/video/photos this way. i cant at least, maybe i am doing something wrong

edit: ps : ive just quoted the first post in a thread

note to self........give yourslef an uppercut kamma

Could be worse. You could always quote something that isn't all that relevant itself and by doing so add nothing whatsoever to the topic.

I use the wireless adaptor and can stream up to 1080 no problems from the PC. However I know that a lot of the 1080 files would have smaller bandwidth than say, HD-DVD.

You should be able to do this if your wireless routers support WDS. You put one of the routers into bridge mode. It also helps a lot if both the routers are the same make and ideally even the same model. I tried with two different brands of routers and couldn't get it to work so had to shell out for the 360 wireless adaptor.

i may have misunderstood you post or you have misread my post or didn't quite understand me.

if you have misread my post, i am using a ethernet cable from my wireless router. my pc and HT are in the same room so its easier for me to run a cable. but in doing so i have not been able to stream anything. it doesn't bother me that much because my avr has ipod control with osd for music and i have vga splitter box and a cable from the splitter box to back of my plasma to view avi files, photos etc on it.

so its pretty sweet so i dont really worry about it.

if i have misread yours, are you getting much lag while gaming? streaming was never a problem, just gaming
