My son set me a challenge recently. ‘Dad, we have the internet in our house, so can I have XBox live?’ The ‘difficulty is that the internet is supplied wirelessly via a cable modem to an Airport Express, which lives in another room to the XBox setup. And the XBox is not wireless. I had a spare Airport Express so have set this up as a WDS ‘remote’, which picks up and passes on the wireless network, via a cable, to the XBox. WDS stands for Wireless Distribution System. To see a walk-through click here. What I didn’t tell my son was that the XBox live subscription runs out after a month unless he pays...
Note - you can also use this method to connect a computer that has no wireless access to the internet, by connecting via ethernet cable to a ‘remote’ base station
