Before following these instructions, please be sure to have the latest firmware from our website, http://www.linksys.com/download  

Please follow the steps below to setup your Xbox with your Linksys Router:  
 
1. With your Xbox powered down, take an Ethernet cable and plug it into a numbered port on the router, and plug the other end into the Xbox.  

2. After you have your Xbox connected to the router, start up the Xbox without a CD in the tray.  

3. After you start the unit, you should arrive at the "Xbox Dashboard".  Select the Xbox Live option and press the "a" button on the controller.  

4. After "Xbox Live" loads select the Network Setup and press the "a" button your controller.  

5. On the "IP Address" settings, you can choose "Automatic" or "Manual", make sure it's Automatic.  

6. Select the Connect option and press the "a" button on the controller.  

After you use the "Connect" option, the Xbox will detect the network cable, and will ask you if you want to connect to Xbox Live.

you can do this from the orignial dash/ if the orignial dash does not have live installed load a game that does and select from in the game go live it will install live to the xbox.
Now to do this you do not need a live accout as when it connects to the server it will ask for your account info if there is none. either way you have a connection through the router to the internet and you know that works then set the PC to DCHP or Auto obtail and IP address and the router will assign it as well as the xbox, boot xbox to evox.ini, using the drfault settings in the slayers disk that it came with.
your orignial post:    http://forums.xbox-s...16&t=30069&st=0
the defaults in slayers were
192.168.1.200
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1

the netgear rt314 or rt311 is faster than the linksys

In what respect?  Are we talking processing power.  NAT clients translated? Through-put or what.  I am just curious I love network hardware related benchmark and specs.  

What tests did you use to compare these?

How is he going to hook up his xbox to a wireless hub btw? =p

Linksys makes an adapter that it looks like it plugs into the ethernet port and makes it wireless. At the linksys site it says that it is Xbox compatible..

But, i ran wireless from my laptop 80211.b  to ftp and i got around 400 kbps, whereas when i run an ethernet cable from my laptop i get about 4 000, so i think it wouldn't be too sweet....

Anyone used this product?

Linksys BEFSR41 v2 is the BEST router EVER! i have absolutely no problems with anything, where i had problems with my netgear rt314. get this router, it is the BEST!

One of my favorite routers is a Cisco 2651.  What you can do with these units is amazing and the price is OK.  Best buy for performance is there 1700 series.

After you know Cisco products and have set up 1000's the rest of the products out there just do not seem to have the same appeal.  Unless I am buying, then the other models (Linksys, Dlink, Netgear) look great

the best router is the cheapest.. netgear, linksys, smc.. if your running a basic home network with cable or dsl, all these routers will do the same thing.
