Ok here's the problem.

I have 2 xboxes and each one is connected to a router with wireless enabled.

One router is connected to a computer and ICS (internet connection sharing) is used to access xbox Live.

The other Xbox connects directly to internet via the 2nd router.

I somehow need to connect the 2 routers wireless connections. Note a wired connection is not possible.

I don't need xbox live while using system link.

Basically : Xbox ----> Router-----> wireless <-----Router<----xbox

You need a router which can be configured as an access point. You can get ones that you put at the edge of the signal of one router and it re-transmits the signal on a different channel. MIRO distribution sell these, Edimax is a good make and you are looking at R500 odd

I used these in a residential hotel where some of the guests could not access the wi-fi. After some position experiments, I got it right.
