Wireless XBox (1 Viewer)

[Todd Henry]

I got my XBox live all set up with the XBox connected directly to my router, but I can't get the wireless portion to work.

I bought a Wireless Access Point (WAP11) to connect to the XBox. Most of the how to's mention a bridge (WET11). Will it work with what I bought?

Thanks

You'll need both the WAP11 and the WET11 in order to get a wireless connection to your XBox. The WAP11 gives you the wireless access point while the WET11 gives you the bridge needed to give the XBox a way to connect to the access point.

Thanks.

That is what I thought. I also bought the 4 port wireless router. I will try to go back to CompUSA and return the WAP and see if I can get the WET11.

Yeah. it gets confusing. Especially when the WAP has a bridge mode. What isn't clear is that the WAP's bridge is strictly for bridging two wireless networks together, not for adding wireless access to a device.

Good luck on your Live gaming!

I exchanged the WAP11 for the WET11 and when I try to install the bridge it tells me it can't locate the bridge. Are there some lights that I should look for to see if it is hooked up right?

Thanks

I got it working, I think. I had to connect the bridge to the router first to configure it, but I got the WLAN light to light up.

Moving this to Hardware.
