Hi,
My son recently got an x box and we initially set up via an ethernet cable straight from the internet modem broadband which has one e/n outlet hence. to do this I disconnected the e/n cable from the modem which extended into my time capsule (TC). I have a second slave TC connected wirelessly to the first TC (the first usually having the e/n cable). Both TC's are the 1TB model one purchased six months ago which apparently had a faster signal then the other. I dont know if the main tc is the later model.
Then I purchased a Dlink DES-1005D 10/100 Mbpse/n hub and replugged the unit connecting via e/n the tc to the hub and another e/n cable to the modem and another e/n cable to the xbox. Immediately my son comments that his system is slowed revert to e/n cable from xbox straight into modem and it fine again. go back to store and speak to another chap that reckons that the unit i have is not fast enough and I have to spend more $$$ for another hub and it will be fine (wished the first bloke had told me this). this i do not want to do as I am tired of being off the net whilst the kids play xbox, also the cable across the hallway, also dont want to crawl under the house to run the cable.
I realise that if I am to get this to work I have to buy an XBox wireless adaptor and I am happy to do this.
MY CONCERN IS WILL XBOX LIVE BE SLOWED WITH wireless adaptor to wireless TC. That is, will it appear on the television the same as with the e/n cable??
Cheers
