Xbox 360 WMC (vista/7) extender kills my wifi | The Coffeehouse

From the depths of Wales I come

Undecided between Techoff and here.

My laptop came with Vista Home Premium and now has 7 Ultimate on there, both come with Windows Media Center. However, when i try and use my 360 has an WMC extender over wifi (using a squeezebox as the wifi aerial) it kills my wifi and internet, requiring me to hard reboot my router and modem.

Some details about my setup:

Laptop running Win 7 Ultimate Intel WiFi 5100 AGN

Xbox 360 using a slim devices (logitech) Squeezebox 3 as the wifi aerial

Belkin 54g cable router

So whats going wrong?

Hit me up for more details

Too many connection attempts or established IP routes and connections are overloading the CPU of your wifi/router/modem device. Happens to me from time to time, too, because I'm doing decentralized network analysis and have extreme traffic.

Solution: Get a newer DSL modem router with wifi, it'll make you happy.

Before you go buying stuff, make sure there's not a newer firmware available for your wireless router. Sometimes routers will have bugs like this and they'll be corrected in firmware updates.

But yes, if that doesn't resolve it, you'll probably need to replace the router. Just glancing through reviews on Newegg, this sort of thing looks pretty common with Belkin routers.
