Can i use my wii and its wireless internet capability as a "wifi extender" so i can use xbox live?
My current setup:
HDTV,
XBOX 3606
Wii,
My cable modem is in another room with a Linksys wifi router. Currently my Wii is connected via wireless, but my xbox has no Internet. Could i turn my Wii into a wireless extender?
Thanks!
Nope.. Sorry..
Actually there are two problems..
One is that the Wii doesn't have an ethernet port (unless you buy the wired network adapter for $30) so there wouldn't be any way to connect the Xbox 360 to the Wii..
The second problem is that the Wii is more than a network terminal than a pass through device.. there isn't any way to configure the Wii to bridge a wired adapter to the wireless one..
Your cheapest alternative would be to buy one of the original Xbox wireless adapters.. they will work with the Xbox 360 as well and you can pick them up cheap..
Good luck..

Verizon Network Extenders Experiencing Outage Nationwide
I just spent more than $200 on Verizon’s/Samsung’s NE device last week. Had I known it relied on linking to Verizon’s NE servers via my I’net service in order to function I wouldn’t have purchased it. There’s no other reason in my estimation for this configuration but to lock the NE down – to control it. You don’t need WAN access to boost or repeat a cellular signal. This reliance on communication w/ Verizon’s NE network servers is the Achilles Heel of the service. My NE device went down around 11:30am EST this morning. I learned from Tier 2 support (~ 7:30p EST) that they don’t expect it to be up again until 9a.m. tomorrow – that the entire system has crashed resulting in a nationwide outage. To make matters worse, Tire 1 support is out of the loop. So NE customers calling in are being forced to jump through hoops in fruitless attempts to bring their NE devices online. I had to fight to get my call escalated to Tier 2 support. According to Tier 2 support, Verizon has called in Samsung to address the issue(s). The person I spoke w/ didn’t know the nature of the crash (hardware, software, load, etc.) just that Verizon’s loosing a lot of money because of this outage and that “…no one’s going home tonight…” I’ve already called the Verizon store to confirm I could return my NE device. I’m going to have to come up w/ another solution for SMS and telephone service in my home office. If they do manage to get the system up by 0900 tomorrow – that will have been a 22 hours outage – completely unacceptable.
Wifi range extender? - The Liverpool Way
If you have a mac airport extreme as your main modem, then get airport expresses to add to your network where you need to boost your signal. These have the added advantage of being able to add speakers to the express so you can pipe your Itunes around the house, and of course you can add printers or hard disks to the extreme and use them from any computer in the house. These can be PCs or macs. In fact you don't need a mac at all to do all of this.
