Is it Xbox Live compatible?

Question

I have a D-Link DI-524 wireless router..on the Xbox site it says firmware versions 1.05 and 3.00 are compatible, so I went on the D-Link site to download one of those versions...it had rev a, but I think a different type of it? (there's a picture of the label, the P/N thing was different from mine but otherwise the same) Either way, it wouldn't let me download the firmware... so I'm just wondering...CAN I get either of those firmware downloads on mine..the label says P/N: BDI524 and S/N: D9OP144003450...and hardware version is a1, firmware version is 1.03. And if I can't get the listed compatible firmware, will it still let me get on Xbox live? I can't test it yet because I don't have the wireless adapter for the xbox, but I'm gonna get one soon.

I have a D-link DI-524 rev a1 firmware version 1.03 router. I supposedly can't get Xbox live unless the firmware version is 1.05 or over, so I tried to download the only firmware update available for my router. It didn't work because there isn't a D-link card in the computer, instead there's a belkin one from the old router that broke. So I can't update firmware no matter what..will the firmware version 1.03 work with Xbox live at all..or would I be better off buying a new router that comes with an Xbox live accepted firmware version?

Woops, sorry for last details thing..I thought it would change main part of the question..

Answer 1

You just need to get the compatible firmware and flash it to your router. It should be very easy to do. You can always do a search on the d-link site and download the exact version you need that way. However, ANY firmware update after 1.05 should work with Xbox Live. I see the latest for your router is 1.23. Just get that. You will be fine.
