Why would you want to connect your XBox to two routers?

1 is on my pc and the other is on my xbox can i get it to work on xbox live insted of buying a wireless adapter

Oh you mean run the XBox through your PC? Well if so, all you need to do is enable internet connection sharing, give your XBox an automatic IP address, do the same for PC and it should let you online

while we're on the subject blakey 8 you seem like a man in the know, i've had the xbox live adapter for about 6months now and i have tried every conceivable way to get it connected, i ended up going back to the good old ethernet cable, i put it down to my router cause i dont want to appear stupid, i have a tp-link wr541G, have you come across routers that r not compatible?

Certain ones aren't but most are. Have you assigned a DHCP IP address to your XBox?

sorry m8 not sure about that 1, what i did try though was setting up static ip addresses for my 2 pc's and laptop, did the same with my xbox but pc's and laptop connected fine but xbox wouldn't, tried so many configurations over the weeks i gave up
