Wireless network/360 help

Mp4 · 24 Nov 2008 at 17:09

Hi all,

I have a DG834N Netgear 270MBPS, But the issue i have is that the router is at the front of the house and the signal cuts out about half way of the house is there anyway i can boost the signal? or will i have to get about 40FT worth of cable and do it that way?

you could get hold of a other router and use it as an access point. This will then give you a larger wireless singal.

Would it need to be a high powerd router like the dg834N ? / what max does the 360 wireless take? 54mbps ?

It wouldn't need to be too powerful (unless you live in a lead house!) basically stick it on the edge of our main routers signal, turn DHCP off on the new one and configure it so it picks up the signal from your main router. I have no idea what the xbox360 uses speed wise, but I'd be surprised if it isn't 54mpbs.

Have a look on google, you might be able to find a guide on how to set it up, I like to help more but I'm about to go out so..

Hope it helps.
