Xbox Live using Wireless adapter Headache!

    Hi All,

    So I'd been using Live happily for a few years direct via ethernet but have had to changed to wireless for various reasons.
    I bought the official wireless adapter and am connecting to a Netgear wireless router (ISP is NTL). The problem is that I can play games (Halo 3) for approx 30mins fine, then I start lagging or connection freezes even after re-boot of console etc. The network settings on dashboard say I'm connected fine and have an 'Open' NAT. Also, I've assigned my Xbox a static IP and made it the DMZ host but the problem is still persisting.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Idioteque

    you cant beat a cable. i have been using two of these for the last 6 months and i can't fault them

    they turn any electrical socket into an internet point. you plug one into your wireless router and the other into the socket beside your xbox and then run a cable off it into the back of the xbox. i never used the official xbox wireless bridge, i heard it was ARSE. hope this helps:D.

    That looks well good - I've heard of those 'network through the power system' things before, but never actually seen them.

    Any potential issues with using them with an Xbox? Is the Xbox wireless adaptor really crap?

    No. I used it for about a year without any problems. It sounds like your router might be the issue tbh.

    Mine works fine all the time using over a year now.

    Only about 6 metres away from router through one wall, mate has his fair bit away through a few walls and the floor and never had issues either.
