Need Help using WRT54GL as Wireless Bridge for Xbox

Hi.
I need help configuring my WRT54GL as a wireless bridge for my xbox.
I have a Billion BiPAC 7404VGO currently in service as my main router/modem. i.e. I have my ADSL connection and PC connected to this. I also connect to this with a laptop.
I have an original xbox at the other end of the house (cat5 NOT an option).
Basically I want to connect my xbox to the rest of network. I have a WRT54GL I can use for this. I just dont know how to set it up.
The WRT54GL has Firmware Version: v4.30.7 (out of the box).
My Wireless network is using WPA.
I have a VPN setup through to work via the Billion.
The idea is to stream media from my PC to the xbox (media centre).
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

A wireless router is a device which requires its own wired internet connection. A wireless router is not a wireless access point like the Linksys WAPs. A wireless router does not connect wireless to other wireless routers/APs with standard Linksys firmware. With Linksys firmware you need a WAP54G or similar. The WAPs support wireless bridging and repeater mode.
If you already have a WRT54GL then you have to install a 3rd party firmware which adds wireless bridging capabilities. Read the wikipedia article on "WRT54G" for information about which WRT models support 3rd party firmware and an overview of projects and links.
Remember, however, that you may brick your router if you install a 3rd party firmware incorrectly and you probably void the warranty if you install 3rd party firmware (it is even possible to find out after you restore the original Linksys firmware if you don't clear the NVRAM before).

  • Help using powerbook as wireless adapter for Xbox 360

    Ok I need help partially opening my NAT. I have a Linksys WRT54G. And I play on Xbox Live a lot. The other day I moved the xbox into my living room where our new tv is and then I hooked my G4 Powerbook up to the xbox and did internet sharing because I have no internet connection in there besides wireless. Whenever I use a wired connection on the xbox is says my NAT is open. But whenever I use my laptop it says my NAT is Moderate, and it makes it hard to get into any games. I don't want to chip out the money for a $100 microsoft adapter because I will rarely play xbox in their. So how do I go about opening up the NAT the rest of the way.
    http://www.ofzenandcomputing.com/zanswers/61 there is how I did it, but I setup the xbox with a static IP
    On my router I have ports 88 and 3074 open which make the NAT open on wired connection. So I am thinking I may need to open those ports on the laptop itself? I am not sure if I can open ports on the laptop for outgoing connections.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Thinking of buying an AEBSn - Need to use it as a Bridge for Netgear - Pos?

    Hey,
    I just moved into a new apartment where my landlord is providing free wireless access (yes, it's included in rent... so i wont be stealing it). What I want to do is purchase a new AEBSn to extend the network so that I can hook up my XBOX 360, External HDD (Time Machine), and Printer to the AEBSn. The main router upstairs which is providing the wireless is a Netgear WGT624 v3. What I want to do is grab that wireless signal with the AEBSn and redistribute it as a wired connection and wirelessly to take advantage of the features it provides when used with my macs (Time Machine, Easy Wireless Printing, File Sharing, etc).
    Essentially what I am wondering is if it is possible to set up the Airport as a client of the Netgear.
    *I would set it up as the main router, but that would mean giving my shiny Jonny Ive epitome of industrially designed wireless perfection to the common folk upstairs and then running an ugly Netgear down here... which just wouldnt be right.

    You cannot set up an Airport base station as a remote base station to a Netgear WGT624. Doing this requires you to set up a wireless distribution system (WDS), and Netgear's wireless router does not support Apple's WDS system. And no, it wouldn't work the other way around either (Airport Base Station as the main, Netgear WGT624 as the remote).
    What you can do:
    1. the XBox could be connected to an ethernet-to-wireless adapter. All the major companies selling WiFi products to consumers sell such a device.
    2. the printer could be connected to an Apple Airport Express, which in turn could be configured as a wireless client to that Netgear wireless router. Note that anyone connecting to that Netgear wireless router would also have access to the printer
    3. Time Capsule would need to be standalone, on its own wireless network. You'd be better off just buying an external hard drive to cable directly to your Mac for doing backups.

  • Need help using wifi on my iPad for computer

    Hi guys sorry if this question has been asked before but i wasn't able to find my answer anywhere so here goes :)
    I just bought an iPad mini and it's awesome i love it. But due to some problems my wired internet connection to my computer is not working anymore and i am unable to buy a new wire for about a week.
    Just wondering if there is a way for me to use the wifi connection on my iPad to connect my desktop PC to the internet as i am unable to stream movies and play games without the wired internet connection. I am aware of the personal hotspot option, however this only allows me to use my  data on my SIM card (i dont have a lot of data to spare so this isn't really effective for me, especially since i will be playing games)
    Your input is greatly appreciated :D

    No, the personal hotspot is your only option.

  • I have a Mac Pro 4,1 quad core intel Xeon running mac OSX 10.6.8 and I have just moved studios and now need to use the Internet wirelessly but there's no airport facilities on this model can anyone tell me what model of airport card I would need for this

    I have a Mac Pro 4,1 quad core intel Xeon running mac OSX 10.6.8 and I have just moved studios and now need to use the Internet wirelessly but there's no airport facilities on this model can anyone tell me what model of airport card I would need for this mac

    Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

  • Use of sync async bridge for webservices

    Hi ,
    We have a scenario where we need to send a data from ERP system to PI via webservice. PI communicates with a third party system via webservice.
    The data can be posted to this third party system using webservices. The third party system then reads some data asynchronosly and sends the data to PI . We need this data to be sent to the synchronous webservice from ERP system.
    Can we use the sync async bridge for this scenario. Some details on how we can do this will be very helpful..
    Thanks
    Bharathwaj

    Hi Abhishek,
    Thanks for the immediate reply.
    The scenario is 
    ERP <---WS/SOAP--->PI -----WS /SOAP of 3rd party---> 3rd Party system (X).
                                                       PI  <------- WS of PI
                X posts the data to a backend. THe system X then picks some processed information. This system is not capable of sending the response synchronosly. It can post this data to PI once the data is available. Now PI needs to take this data and post it to the WS request from ERP.
    Hope I have provided some clarity on the scenarion..
    Thanks again.

  • Wireless Bridge for gaming

    I am using an Airport Express to create a wireless network in my home, with WPA/WPA2 encryption.
    I would like to buy a wireless bridge so I can connect to the internet on my Playstation 2 and play games.
    Does anyone know of a good wireless bridge for this purpose? One that can be used with WPA/WPA2 encryption.

    What is your router brand?
    I believe some router can be tweak using its web based interface to dedicated bandwidth for gaming.
    Are you using wireless for gaming, maybe if you step up to N protocol, it might help you too. But you have to get wireleen N router and have macbook that capable with wireless N protocol.
    If you using wired online gaming, consider one with gigabit port.
    Good Luck

  • Using libraries vs. Bridge for graphics in placeholder frames

    Hi,
    I do not understand the advantanges of using libraries vs. Bridge for my purpose:
    Purpose:
    I am working with templates using graphic placeholder frames. The frames are anchored in table cells and have object styles applied defining e.g. the placement of the graphic within the graphic frame.
    I want to set up central graphic library for all graphics used in all my documents.
    The graphics should then be linked into the documents
    Idea:
    set up various InDesign libraries and then drag the graphics into the placeholder frames. Then, when the graphic needs to be changed, do the changes in the library and have all my documents updated at once.
    Problem:
    Dragging graphics from the library into the placeholder frames does not seem to work. They are simply placed onto the page and NOT in the graphic frame. On the other hand when I simply store the graphics in various subdirectories in my file system and drag the graphics onto the page using Adobe Bridge, they ARE placed in the graphic placeholder frames.
    The library therefore seems a disadvantage, so why should I use a library instead of the Bridge?
    Also, will be upgrading to CS5 soon an want to use the live-linking caption feature. Should I use libraries or the Bridge approach?
    Stumped on this issue

    I like the idea with the snippet, but when dragging a snippet from Bridge there is still the same problem as with the library item: The graphic is NOT placed into the graphic placeholder frame of my template but is a free-flowing new graphic item which has to be placed manually.
    Interestingly, a JPG-file simply saved in the filesystem and dragged from Bridge and dropped over the placeholder frame WILL place the JPG into the frame!
    Why won't snippets do this??

    I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

    Two different things
    If you forgot the password
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
    The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

  • Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my SL

    Hi...Im in needs of help in my new OS Mac World.Had my Logic Pro 9(9.0.2) install in my Snow Leopard(10.6.3).Need help on buying FIREWIRE/USB-compatible for Logic Pro 9.0.2 on my Snow Leopard.Just a real basic audio interface that works with my Macbook pro Specification.You're help will be much more appreciated..
    Best Regards:RatzyMazzy

    In any case I would suggest to get an audio interface which is *Core Audio* compatible. This means that you just need to plug it in and it will work with OS X’s integrated driver. I once had an M-Audio interface which needed its own driver and it had latency problems because of them. I am currently using the EDIROL FA-66 with 10.6.3 on my MacBook Pro. It still works flawlessly and has worked without problems in the past with 10.4 and 10.5, too. Here is how it looks like: http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=731
    I have also heard good things about the FireWire interfaces from Presonus, like the FireBox.

  • I need helping using iAds in my application.

    I need helping using iAds in my application. I currently am not using any storyboards. I am using Sprite builder for my UI.
    I attatched an image ot show all the different file name I have.
    Everyone is being used & they all work fully.
    The "iAdViewController.h & .m" files are just example codes I looked up and was messing with so that my iAd can work.

    I wouldn't even be able to use the Mathscript node in an executable? 
    What I am trying to do is make a user configurable data stream. 
    They tell me how many bytes are in the stream and what parameters they
    want to be put in to it.  Currently I have to make vi's that are
    called dynamicaly to make the parameters.   Then recompile
    the code and send it to them.  This is somewhat of how the config
    file is set up so I know how to make the data.
    Data_Type  foo
    Bytes 30
    parameter_name        
    function           
       byte#          format
    sync              
    foo_sync            
    29               int
    time                              
    foo_time             
    1,2,3,4       double
    If I can't use MathScript to allow the user to make there own functions
    is there another way that I might be able to do this so I do not have
    to recompile the code atleast?  Were I might just be able to make
    the new function and send that to them.
    Any Idea would be great.
