Just wondering has anyone setup live via a wireless network??

Just wondering if it works ok or if there is high latency etc??

Wireless XBOX gaming works a treat! :D

There should not be any difference in wireless speed to that of normal routered or direct XBOX connections; just avoid ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) through MS Windows, that will slow you down.

In addition to your Wireless router you will need a wireless Bridge, which makes your XBOX wireless. The Linksys Wireless bridge of choice is the Linksys WET11 (http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=36&prid=432).


There's a guide going to be released in the XBOX Useful Information forum (http://www.nthellworld.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=16) shortly. ;)

Cost me £160 including VAT and delivery from www.scan.co.uk
bit cheaper than the linksys one.

Lets hope cheap price dosent mean cheap hardware!!.

Now hopefully ill be online more!! havnt bothered because i hate playing on the xbox on my crappy tv upstairs and cant be arsed cableing downstairs!!
