one of my roommates has been pissing the rest of us off with his constant xbox playing. he leaves the lights and tv and shit on all night and refuses to turn the volume down. in addition to being extremely annoying, our electric bill has gone from the low 80s to upper 90s since he started playing. Is there a way to block the xbox from using the wireless router? as of now, we have just been uplugging it and plugging it back in so when he comes to to check the internet it says its working.

passwords can be changed

or change the name of your router to something like 'andrew's small penis loves xbox more than vagina' so the whole neighborhood can see his problem

dude lock out his xbox's IP and MAC address within your router, if you don't know how to get onto those settings type in (typically) 192.168.0.1 into your internet browser

like stated above

you can go in to your router and allow only certain mac id's.

Every network adapter, wireless or wired, has a mac id, a unique ID that only it will have, anyways you create a list of accepted mac id's on the router, and the router only allows them.

everyone else can connect wirelessly to the network no problem, but they cant surf.

its better than WEP security.......

If you got in it should be the main admin panel. If it says actiontec, or something else you're good just mess around with it now so you know where to go when his xbox is connected. Make sure you know which address his is though

it costs less than $0.02/hour to run a light bulb

my electric bill for last month is $92.37, and that's keeping a hot tub at 103 24/7. In the summer with no tub the bill is less than half.

you guys are getting ripped off

sounds like the problem isnt "how do I get this kid off the xbox?"...

the problem is "how do we make this kid realize hes a useless lazy fucker?"

the solution was posted above... melted peanut butter in the xbox, kick back and watch the show

Doesn't sound only like an xbox problem. Change the password and say if he wants to play more either pay extra and also pay for other things or kick him out!

3 easy steps to fixing any roommate problem:

1. stop being a little bitch
2. grow some balls you fucking pussy
3. tell him to his face to stop the shit

if you truly do that then you'll be stoked at how persuasive you can be when you're not acting like a child. grow the fuck up.

Take the xbox when he is gone. Use excessive amounts of explosives, blow it up. Film the whole thing. Then leave a note out so he sees it telling him to turn on the tv and force him to watch his life explode in before his eyes!

wow simple. ask him for the extra 10-15$ he costs you monthly, and tell him to turn it the fuck down and if his name isn't on the lease then tell him if he doesn't shut up he gets the boot. or just throw the xbox out the window. or you could change the password. or call intervention and make it a tv show.
