XBOX on my wireless network?

[rms2001]

Talk about a weird set up. Why can't any one ever do it an easy way?

What you should do is make your whole network wireless, more or less.
Okay since you all-ready have one five port hub. I would use this in the living room. Meaning connect the DSL Modem/Router to the uplink on the hub than hardwire the new XBox in the living room to this hub.

Now your going to want to use a wireless access point. (Linksys - Instant Wireless Network Access Point) and connect that to the hub in the living room. Now you have to decide how you want to make the rest of your network wireless.

1) Buy two switches (Linksys - EtherFast 8-Port 10/100 Switch) an buy two wireless ethernet bridges (Linksys - Wireless Ethernet Bridge). From there hardwire each group of PCs into the new switches than connect the wireless ethernet bridge to the uplink on the switch.

2) Buy each PC its own UBS wireless network adapter (Linksys - Instant Wireless USB Network Adapter). And buy one wireless ethernet bridge (Linksys - Wireless Ethernet Bridge) for your XBox.

3) Buy each PC and your XBox its own wireless ethernet bridge (Linksys - Wireless Ethernet Bridge).


I would suggest #1 b/c it would be the cheapest and you would only have to config three wireless units insted of eight in #2 & #3.
