My bigpond wireless elite gateway is failing and telstra no longer supplies them . They supplied a wi fi 4g advanced11 but it doesn't have Ethernet or computer ports. What can I replace the elite unit

There are lots of router suppliers out there on the internet and via amazon and ebay.

Look for a compatible broadband router, cable?

Wi-Fi included as well Ethernet connections.

All operate to agreed standards, so there should be no problem setting up the router.

I have just got in broadband but my xbox aint picking up my wireless signal upstairs,ive got the wireless adapter for the xbox,its picking up a few neighbours network connections,surely my xbox should be...

It is possible that the Xbox will be unable to pick up the wireless signal being transmitted by your gateway because the signal is too weak.

The connection speed of your internet has nothing to do with the strength of the signal. The best way to test this would be to try to connect to your wireless internet on a laptop while sitting near the xbox. If you cannot, you will know that the signal isn't powerful enough to reach that location.

There are three common options to amplifying your signal if necessary.

1) Purchase a High-gain antenna for your wireless gateway
2) Purchase a wireless repeater
3) Purchase a new router/gateway with a longer range capability. A "Wireless N" enabled router would be optimal for this application.

I have a Xbox 360 Elite with a Xbox 360 Wireless N Networking Adapter attached. Whenever my son plays a game while connected to the home wireless network, no one else in the house can use the Internet...

If other devices can connect once your son is off then it might not be a problem with a router. Try connecting the xbox VIA WI-FI. If the problem persits i would contact your ISP.

What do i need to set up my xbox 360 live? We have wireless internet.

if you want to use the wireless internet you need to purchase a wireless adapter, which will run you about $100 i believe, the cheaper route is to buy a really long eathernet cord and connect it to your router, and the back of your xbox, if you want to play games online you will have to buy an xboxlive gold membership, 3 months of which costs about 20 bucks, and a year of which costs about 50 bucks

Try installing the wireless router setup.exe once again. Do unistall the old file before installing the new one.

I have zyxel nbg334w bought before xmas 08 can connect pc to internet with it but although wireless laptops and games consoles find it still wont connect i am connected to internet via virgin media...

Had the same problem connecting zyxel NGB334W to XBox 360. Other computers and devices would see the SSID but the XBox 360 would not. I had no luck talking to the techs at zyxel, they said it was incompatible with the wireless XBox device. Good news!!! This can be resolved. I went into the setup (192.168.1.1) / Wireless Lan / Advanced / Wireless Advanced Setup. Under the 802.11 mode set to 802.11b. Factory is 802.11b/g and this was not seen. Hope this helps you out.

Can't pick up wireless internet through router

You need to have the specific wireless adapter made for the Xbox 360. It runs about $100. Other wireless adapters (for some reason) will not work. I tried 6 different ones before I gave up and hard wired the Xbox 360.
