Unofficial wireless bridge 360 problems

FunnyMan · 27th December 2006, 11:56 PM

I just got my 360 today, and when I tried to set it up for some online GOW with my USB wireless Netgear wg111T, nothing came up. When running the tests, after a split second it would just say 'unconnected'. The router itself works and is plugged into the back panel. The adaptor is reletively new and supports both b and g ranges

I was under the impression from several people on this board that 3rd-party bridges were compatible with the 360, which made me purchase this adaptor a while ago with the forsight of potientially using it with the 360.

Any help would be appriciated.

Can you explain how you have this set up...your comment "the router works and is plugged into the back panel" confuses me, makes it sound like the 360 is plugged into the router...which makes me wonder why you would need a bridge....

I thought you needed a wireless bridge for the 360 , the WG111T is a USB wireless adapter not a bridge.

Spot on. You need a wireless bridge, which you need to configure before hooking it up to the box.

A USB wireless adaptor will not work.
