Will a Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter Support my Router?

'Ello!

So I'm going to get XBL, but I dunno if the Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter will support/be able to connect to the wireless router I have!

I have a Linksys WRT320N Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router.

It connects easily to my Laptop, so I just wanna make sure it can connect to my xBox.

I'm not sure what info you need, but these are the protocools - which is what I think you need..?

Protocools: Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.11b , IEEE 802.11g , IEEE 802.11n (draft), IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3U

Be great to hear from anyone with any information.

It'll work at 802.11 speeds. Wireless isn't exactly great for gaming but if it's your only options...

I use a wireless adapter (running dual b & g) on my 360 with no problems. (Can't recall which speed the 360 uses...) To the router, it's viewable with all your standard computer-style settings, MAC addresses, etc. On the xbox side, you have options for inputting to your named SSID, security passphrases, etc. No problems from me. I had to unplug/plug in the usb port once after the unit was unplugged for a while.

Sorry, I meant 802.11g speeds. So you should get on average a data throughput rate of around 36Mbps.
