| 492258 | 2006-10-17 21:55:00 | Hi there everyone I want to connect up my Xbox (original cause I don't wanna pay to be a Microsoft hardware beta tester) to my router wirelessly (for Live). I know to do this I'll need either a computer working as a wireless-to-ethernet bridge or a dedicated bridge to connect it up. Right now what I have access to are two Airport Extreme base stations, and what I want to know is can I use WDS and have one of the base stations act as a wireless-to-ethernet bridge connecting to the first base station on my router? All help appreciated and if anyone doesn't understand let me know. |

Yes it is, only with a lot of extra features, ports, range and a nice look :thumbs: I've read a lot about the Airport Express being able to do this, but pretty much nothing about the Extreme (I guess it's just not it's primary role). |

| 492261 | 2006-10-18 23:41:00 | You can set an Extreme to bridge by unticking "Distribute IP addresses" on the Internet tab. I'm not sure what else you'd need to do in your particular configuration. | Nermal (7077) | ||
