October 4, 2007How To Make A Cheap Wireless For Your Xbox 360
Posted by The Ori
This project will help you change a cheap wireless router into a wireless receiver for your Xbox 360. The total cost of this project can be as low as twenty or thirty dollars, compared to the one hundred dollars Microsoft wants for their little wireless dongle.
This tutorial assumes you already have a wireless router to send out wireless access to the Xbox 360.
Parts Needed:
* Xbox 360, any version
* Three Feet or more of Cat 5e Cable (Ethernet Cable)
* Wireless Router
* DD-WRT firmware
The basic point of this “client mode wireless” option is; you are using the router as a bridge. By “Upgrading” it with firmware from DD-WRT, tailored for your specific router. This will be nice for me, I have two routers lying around that I am not even using! I will try this myself!

sweet, finally I’ll make my 360 wireless.
Thanks for the info- never really even thought about trying to make one.
Most of the compatible routers are 802.11g, but some are pretty cheap. See the compatibility list.
Wireless bridges or Ethernet Converters work just as well without having to hook it up to a computer and flash it. Most wireless converters are just plug-and-play (provided you have a wireless router)
I use the DDWRTs to bridge to my main router. They do not make a real ‘bridge’ as if you have one room behind a ddwrt-bridge, don’t expect to see devices that are behind another bridge.
If someone has got two boxes behind two different ddwrts to work I’d love to know how they did it.
I have tryed this and my 360 will not obtain an ip I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I followed the directions everything is the same and still no go. Can anyone help Maybe post a link or maybe Im missing a setting or somthing
