Does anyone have any experience with setting this up?
My son wants this for Christmas.
I am getting the Linksys Wireless Ethernet Bridge. The information says that I don't need drivers to hook up the xbox to our wireless network and it is supposed to work with Airport..
Has anyone used this setup?
Can you give me any help/advice?
Thanks

Our cable modem connects to the airport basestation and all our computers have airport cards.
I would like to hook the XBox to this via the Lynksys Wireless Bridge.
Who has done this? What are the problems?

My son's room is upstairs and it would be difficult to run an ethernet cable downstairs to where the cable modem and airport are but I would do that if the wireless will not really work.
I do not want to spend the $100+ to only find out this will not work very well.

If I decide to try to run a cable, what router would I need to hook up the ethernet cable to the cable modem or airport?

Thanks for the help.

The WET11 is supposed to work as described, without drivers, etc. Here is Linksys' page with an Xbox wireless setup. The only setup needed is done through a browser-based system in the device itself (its address is 192.168.1.255). You may need to alter your LAN, at least temporarily, to accomodate the 192.168.1.xxx subnet so you can configure the WET11, but you can change its address to match any existing LAN IP scheme you have, or set it to DHCP for automatic address assignment by whatever router/base station you already have.

Go to Linksys' site for the WET11 for all the details. The documentation looks like it needs a PC, but with the browser interface to the box, you really don't.
