will the linksys WRTP54G VOIP wireless router work wirelessly with the xbox 360

i currently own a linksys wired router and im planning to buy the linksys WRTP54G VOIP wireless router because i have Vonage. i am also interested in buying an xbox 360 and the xbox wireless network adapter for it. is it possible to play on xbox live wirelessly using the linksys WRTP54G VOIP wireless router? If not please tell me what i should get so i can keep my vonage connection and still play wirelessly on the xbox 360?

 

skip the Xbox wireless adapter and get the linksys. Here is what i use.

Agreed. I use the exact same setup. Works great.

 

Its also possiable to pick up an old wireless router and hook that up to your 360 and use that as your wireless nic if money is scarce.

 

Regarding Steimyoes the Linksys - 802.11g Wireless Gaming Adapter work on the xbox 360 in place of the xbox wirelesss network adapter? and i cannot use the linksys WRT54G as you showed in the first link because i need the phone line ports for my Vonage phone. that is why i need this router:

Regarding thorn3562o you use the setup i mentioned or the setup steimy mentioned please specify?

 

yes, the linksys gaming adapter works with both the 360 and original xbox. It is an Xbox Live compatible component. But i am not sure about that router as it is not on the Xbox Live compatible list. So if the box does not have an Xbox Live symbole on it then it may not work with Xbox Live.

Is Vontage your only ISP choice? And what speed is the connection. You will need a deceny speed to use Xbox Live. Mine is a 5MB cable connection.

Or you may be in luck if Vontage gives you a modem that has the phone line in for your connection, and an ethernet out port to run to the router. Then you could get a normal router like i listed above and it will work for sure. My cable connection runs to a modem, then the ethernet runs from that to my router.

 

Steimyo u know where i can buy one of those cables? that would really help and clear things up. if u do please tell me.

Anybody else with info bout the topic:also i posted the original topic to see of anyone has this particular setup that i mentioned if u know for sure it works and by that i mean you use the linksys WRTP54G VOIP wireless router wirelessly with the xbox 360 please inform me. i know this setup works wired to the xbox but i am unsure about wireless.

 

What cable are you talking about? When i say i have a cable connection it means cable, like cable TV. It comes through the local cable company. Same type of coaxal cable that plugs into a TV if you get cable TV.

Cable for internet is fast and pretty darn reliable. But it is also no cheap. Most companies charge about $45 a month for a 5MB connection. DSL is cheaper but with DSL your speed depends on factors like how close you are to the main station your getting your connection from. With cable you always get what you paid for. And dialup these day is pretty much useless, especially for online gaming.

If you have a link to the Vonage plan you plan on getting post it. I would just like to see what they are offering you and what you get.

 

the phone line in for my connection, and an ethernet out port to run to the router
this is the wire im talking bout if u know where i can buy it or how to get please tell me. Do these type of wires even exist?

 

ok u got ot hink of it this way. when u hook it to your comp does it owrk?

if yes then it will work with the xbox. u mihgt just have to forward ports if it has a strict nat.

but it will work
Edit: wirelessly will work too. its just a regular router with a phone line in it. IT WILL WORK

 

my current situation is this

1 xbox 360 no xbox live needs wireless connection
1 desktop in office where internet connection is wired connection needed
1 laptop it is stuck in the office would like to have wireless connectivity
Vonage connection in office needs phone lineport in a router

Thank you for ur help if uhave anything else to add please do so
