Hey guys, its been a while since i last logged in. I didnt really use my xbox to play games because i usually play online games and my xbox is in a location (living room) because i like to use it for multimedia. I want to play games online but i dont want to buy a wireless microsoft xbox router. I know there is cheep wireless routers out there but i received one for free from fonera. Can i somehow update the firmware on this router so that i can use it with my xbox and connect wirelessly. I remember seeing a tutorial where someone put the wireless router inside their xbox can someone post the link to that i cant seem to find it. Also, any ideas on how i can mod this router to recive wifi signals from my main router? _________________

From what I have read is that the microsoft wireless xbox router is basically the same as any other router except for the color of the casing and yes you can use it as an access point. _________________ hayrides in progress drive carefully.

if i can figure out a way to hack this router or something everybody will benefit because the la fonera company mails out free routers so basically others can share your wifi connection. i am not much of a programmer but if someone can hack it and get it working as an access point, then you can basically use it to network to the xbox, play online games, etc. I am pretty sure this is the guide to hack the router http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/LaFonera_Howto_Chilispot. Someone will need to program a code for the xbox to run the router on it. ANY ideas? I am willing to help, i got two of these routers _________________

You can blur the info on it but can you post or send me a screen shot of what you see once you have logged into the router thats running the DDWRT, i gave it a go and it cut off the top 10% or so of my screen and i had to do the pull power, plug it in, click firmware update trick to get it back to good.
Right now im running the thibor 15 c on a wrt54g v1.2 seems to do the job and all even got kai to run off it with no probs.

I can give you the configuration settings file if you need it. You will just need to go in the firmware and update the settings. Then just change the ip according to your needs. Let me know. Sorry i don't come on that much. _________________
