Make your own cheap Xbox 360 wireless adapter

If you want a wireless adapter for your xbox 360 but do not want to spend $100 on the official one, consider the Airlink101 AP431W Access point. This access point can be customized to act as an ethernet wireless adapter, enabling the xbox 360 to connect wirelessly to an existing wireless LAN. The adapter is inexpensive, usually around $40 online but can often be found on sale from http://www.Fry's.com for under $20. The AP431W requires no additional software. Many other wireless routers can be modified with add itional software to do this, check http://www.dd-wrt.com for more models and tutorials.

I am happy to answer questions about the tutorial , but please post them as comments so everyone benefits, i will not respond to private messages.

does anyone know how to use the ipod touch as one?

[Guacatechs]

@deserteagle449 ipod touch will not work , xbox does not have drivers to be able to use ipod as an ad hoc network adapter.

can i buy this in a store

[Guacatechs]

@24codfan Maybe, its kind of rare now, when this tutorial was made, this AP client was readily available at Fry's, usually on sale for about $20. It may still be available online, I would not pay more than $30 for it. There are routers that can be flashed to DDWRT that will do the same thing for that price, and D-Link makes a travel router for $50 that does the same thing as well.

Whats ironic that you would use a laptop that costs like 700$ and say that a Xbox live adaptor is expensive. Lol

[Guacatechs]

@CocoCheap no so ironic, many people have laptops and nettops that are underused, by using such a device as an ad hoc wifi adapter, they are maximizing the utility of their portable computers. I do agree that it would make no sense to buy a laptop for the sole porpuse of using it as a wifi adapter, or even to purchase a ap client for more than 50 dollars.

I saw a netgear wireless router on bestbuy for 39.99

[VaToTrickShotz]

so can it work with any router or only this specific router

[Anthonyelmio2]

is it possible to turn any Access Point into a Access Point Client, if so can LG-Nortel ELO WR100T 108Mbps 802.11g Wireless LAN/Firewall Access Point & 4-Port Router be one

[bertric23]

does this work on the ps3??

[AllThingsComedy]

@deserteagle449 you cant

[Geo7geX]

@Guacatechs It is possible, not an ad-hoc network, but USB tethering

[MrMachoman956]

[cartzar]
