Wireless Network Adapter issue

Gamer Bhoy 89

My younger brother plays his Xbox Live using the Wireless Adapter thing. He keeps getting disconnected every half hour or so. I tried googling but I couldn't find a solution.

Is it something to do with my router settings? (I would probably imagine so).

What do I need to do to stop him from gettin d/c every 30 minutes? Because I don't fancy forking out 40 / 50 euro for a 15cm ethernet cable.....

Are you with Eircom and using the new Zyxel router?

This router is pants for online gaming, I know cos I have it myself.

The router is automatically set to time-out (disconnect) from the internet every 30 mins. All you can do is increase the time-out time.

You can increase it to 9,999 seconds, this gives you about 2 hours before it disconnects again.

You do this by going to your router settings, type 192.168.1.254 into your internet browser bar.

Enter your password, go to NETWORK, then WIRELESS LAN the change the RE-AUTHENTICATION TIMER to 9,999 seconds and IDLE TIME OUT to 9,999 seconds.

This should extend your game time.

Hope this is helpful.
