What to do? Router? Please help
Hi, im currently buying a xbox one and to connect to the wifi i know that my wifi (dorm wifi) doesnt work, (i searched the ways it worked but im not sure, and for others reasons too i want a router) s...
thanks for answering, what i meant was that a login wifi doenst works on xbox, also i can only connect two devices thats why i wanted a router, my main question is that i would be able to set up the router with a logn in wifi?
Hello Again Gian2097
Yes you can purchase a router, and have a guest network that people can access via a password. Similar to Hotel Wifi where people can Login.
However again you have stated your Xbox will not accept Login wifi but then want a router that can set up login wifi. I am afraid you are very unclear.
I do not feel buying a router to add into your Dorm with the current setup you have will do what you expect it to do.
Perhaps by having an EX7000 desktop Extender with 4 lan ports in the back would be better. Without a LAN port connecting you to the network the ONLY way to get a network started in your DORM via LAN is to buy an Extender as you need a way of converting your WiFi signal coming in into a physical device. That then can give a wifi signal or LAN port to directly connect to the network.
An extender will do this a router will not.
okay so an extender will setup to my login wifi of the dorm(via wifi, not lan), then i will connect my devices with lan? thats it
