How to Connect Wirelessly to Xbox Live Using a Modified Router

There are a few options available in order to wirelessly connect to Xbox live:

1) Laptop and ethernet cable (a good option is you have a laptop)
2) Gaming router (can be as expensive as the official adaptor)
3) Official adpator (its okay, but overpriced and may still need some router configuration)

However, there is another way to connect wirelessly, which is relatively unknown to most. This involves 'converting' via third party software (i.e. DD-WRT) an unused router into a wireless receiver. This software is dependent on your router model however, meaning that NOT ALL routers are supported. So how does this software modify your router? Well, essentially its firmware that replaces the original router administrative firmware via flashing. This gives you the option of altering the router into a wireless receiver in the router's administrative software. Then you need to connect an ethernet cable into the now converted wireless receiver.

What are the benefits of such an undertaking? Firstly, even if you don't have a spare router you can purchse a perfectly compatible older model at a cheap price. Secondly, routers converted to wireless receivers will have far superior range compared to the official Xbox 360 wireless adapter. It is a better option compared to the original adapter both financially and in terms of performance. However, it will require more a little more dedication in order to get everything functioning.
