have mine on a wireless network adaptor... what would the difference be if its hard wired to a router or wireless?


add yes 100% lag free, they have more than enough band width for live... just as long you dont have 50 other computers on the network too. Here at all times its always 2 xboxs and 4 computers and still no lag

Well the difference is that in the m$ it sees all the settings....When I go to the x3 dash and evox it wont see it!!! Are there settings that I need to change so that the wireless will register?

Im not too good when it comes to networking(still learning), but cant you use your pc to config it... yea I use Linksys wireless game adapter... no programing or drivers needed its plug and play

No its not G it is a B which is still more then enough for xbox live, just as long as you dont live in a huge house... use your head

yea wireless bridges are awsome unless you have a lot of other wireless devices running in your household. Which is the reason my d-link wireless bridge (DWL-G50 capable of packet transfers up to 108mbps) has gone to waiste. Any time someone calls my house BAAMM, i lose connection. Because of all the wireless phones at my place on the same 2.4ghz frequency.

The only problem im having is that the M$ dash will see the wireless network, but evox and x3 wont??? not sure why.... I guess this is my main question... Is there settings that need to be changed in x3 or evox to see the wireless network? Thanks guys...

I dont think you have to have any special settings .... mine works fine in the dashboard and in the X3 bios.
I have my wireless setup with the Access point upstairs in my computer room and then the wireless bridge sits on top of my cable box which then connects into a 4 port hub. From there i have the RJ-45 cable running into the Xbox. Hope this helps.

all the settings for these things are stored on the network adaptor itself, and what in sends 2 the machine is the same as a wired signal, so the xbox won't notice any difference in the signal type. but the only thing that can be effected is the amount of data being sent/howfast witch is determined by signal strength and inferance, I use Wireless-G. but u need 2 consider what ur going 2 use it for tho, if the only connections made 2 your XBOX is for XBL, then wireless-B is good enough, but if u also wish 2 FTP wirelessly, I really suggest a wireless-G network. check this out

Wireless-B runs at 11Mbps(MegaBit), witch is only 1.375MBps(MegaBytes), and 2 achive this speed u must have almost perfect connection
Wireless-G runs at 54Mbps(MegaBit), witch is 6.75MBps(MegaBytes)

Now I have wireless-G for my system, and most of my FTPing is done in XBMC, and with a Good Connection/48Mbps(Megabit), I usually can only manage 2.5MBps of data transfering

now lets put this into a time frame, say u wanna transfer a game 2 ur PC that is 2.5Gbs, with perfect speed on Wireless-B it would take you 30 minutes 2 transfer, and with Wireless-G it would take only 7 minutes, tho with all the interferance that effects wireless so easily it takes closer 2 18 mins, and since it triples the time on G, triple the B time and ur waiting a long time. tho the speed will vary from location of the Router(best 2 locate as close 2 the center of your house as Possible) and location of the Network Adaptor, plus it's best u don't put the router 2 close 2 ur Monitor, try and keep it about 2 feet away as that should help reduce some interferance.

I think by default the X3 LiveConfig and Evox network setting are set to Static IP. If you have a Dynamic IP, go to network setings in Live Config and set to DHCP. In Evox, go to network settings, make sure "Setup Network" is set to yes, and "Static IP" is no.
I didn't have to enter anything manually.

My router is only 5 ft away from the xbox adapter... I just cant seem to get any connection when in the x3 or evox dash??? I also just got a 5.8ghz phone so that wont effect it either... I do use a wireless keyboard and mouse, but I wouldnt figure that would effect the x3 and evox dash, but not the M$ dash.... If I get this garbage sorted out I will update here....

I use the Xbox wireless adaptor and have no problems. The only thing I can think of is a problem with your router settings or something. As long as you have DHCP enabled for your X3 and/or dashboard, everything should work fine. Also, you may want to make sure and configure your settings in the original MS dash too; there are more options if you are running 128 encryption and such like I am, so maybe that will make a difference for you too.

Thanks for puttin your foot down there BUD...!! Well I figured I would post with a resolution to my problem scince noone else came up with the answer.... The firmware that I had for my router was too old for xbox live... If you have a linksys router, your firmware must be newer than version 2.0!!! Thanks for all of the replies guys!!! Sorry for the drawn out problem!!!

I don't fully trust Wireless, and I'm a Network Engineer. I have a cable ran over to my consoles/Entertainment Center and there I has a hub to connect my Xbox and PS2 to my network. I still can transfer faster to my xbox via cables no matter how you cut it.
