we bought a £60 wireless router adaptor for the x box from game, we bought today from virgin media netgearG router WGR614 v9 the packard bell tower is old model type UTOW -SUN model name IMEDIA 1508/2 IF ANy of that helps will be very grateful,the x box router is CE 0984
As has been said you need a wireless adapter for the Packard Bell. It's very rare (unless you specifically ask for it/customise the specs) to actually get a desktop with wireless built in."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

The Packard Bell IMEDIA 1508/2 does not have wireless capability, so it could connect to your wireless router via an Ethernet cable and to the xbox via WiFi.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
where is the pb in relation to the router?
you'll have to post some details of what you have tried to get anywhere.
Can the xbox see the router, can it see it if it is nearer? have you entered the encryption key? wep or wpa?
no the x box is upstairs, side by side wired in the same room it works but that defeats the object of wanting to go wireless so that he can go upstairs and play on x box live. Previously he has entered the wpa etc but it does not have it if the x box goes outside of the room, only wired in the same room, I can't answer where the pb is because I do not know what pb is:rolleyes:0 -

yes we can use it wired no probs there x box and x box live all works it is when you move it out of the room upstairs s othat him and his mates can play on it in his room that it all falls to pieces because it will not pick up the signal,
x box will not work wireless in the same room no it all has to be wired0 -
I have a pb tower that has been established will not take wireless, I have a brand new netgear wireless thathas to be wired into the back of the tower to work and I have x box upstairs that cannot work because downstairs is not wireless so therefore the x box wireless router cannot pick it up and do it's job.
There is no prob with being connected wired with the netgear in the same room when it goes or tried to go to wireless all the internet goes offand it will not accept it.
I don't want to use it elsewhere wireless, I want it to be wireless here downstairs so that upstairs the x box router can pick it up and be working.
yes done all that to the x box, we have narrowed it down to the lack of wirelessness downstairs that makes the x box upstairs not work0 -

Not sure what you mean by your downstairs not being wireless. The only things that can be wireless are your router, the X Box and the desktop pc (for which you need to buy and adapter). That's only three things that can possibly be involved in your wireless network and so I'm not completely sure what your post means.
1. Wireless router. Plugged into phone line and wireless on
2. X Box 360, wireless adapter plugged in and settings/password entered correctly
3. Packard Bell, buy wireless adapter and settings/password entered correctly.
Not sure what else there is?"She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

sorry to confuse anyone:rolleyes: on the back of the netgear it says ssid-virgin media,wpa-psk preinstall http;//www.routerlogin.net password ,serial no then mac,don't know the encryption code?
yes loaner happy to use the wired in the same room but you see we need it wireless to pick up the x box upstairs.
super yes the x box has a wireless router, the router is wireless but will not work that way only if you keep it wired until like you say I buy a usb dongle or PCI card or ethernet, now have no idea which one0 -
My son has just come downstairs to shout at me:rotfl: he says it is not the x box upstairs it is the fact that we are not wireless downstairs that you cannot do anything with a non wireless router and that he will never be able to get on the x box if I don't get it sorted out and make it work as it should do wirelessly so that he can play upstairs, he knows about the encryption and passwords but he says he is not putting it in again because there is no point until it is wireless0

You're confusing me again. There should only be one wireless router in the house. That's what everything else connects to. The router is what is connected to your internet connection (phone line or cable). Anything that you want to connect wirelessly should either have wireless built in or use a wireless adapter. So I was assuming the X Box has a wireless adapter (not a router?)"She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"
