I just bought a Linksys Wireless Access Bridge (WET11)

and a Wireless Access Point Router with 4-Port Switch.

so that I can replace my 1-port DSL router and seperate 5-port hub, as well as hook up my Xbox Live without draping cables across the apartment.

Has anyone run into probems with this setup?

I have the same setup and it's running fine now.

I am looking into getting a system like this. Where is the best prices for this stuff or how much and where did you get it from.

Linksys has a $10 mail-in rebate for each item I listed - I didn't know the WET11 had one until I checked the Linksys site.

Best Buy - Wireless Router & Switch - $109
CompUSA - Bridge - $129
Total $238.00
less 2x $10 rebate

Total $218 + tax

Amazon has them for $94.99 and $100 respectively.

So $195 - $20 rebate = $175 with no sales tax.

Think I've got me some returnin' to do. Xbox Live can wait.

Same setup I have. Works great (Xbox and PS2 connected via a hub to the WET11).

Wait you have the PS2 and Xbox conected to a hub, then the hub to the WET11?

So you could then hookup a GameCube?

That's probably not what Linksys intended.

GENIOUS!

The WET11 just serves as a method for connecting wired ethernet devices to your wireless network. It doesn't care if you connect a hub, PS2, Xbox, etc to it.

I guess there is room on the hub for a GameCube, but I have enough to keep me busy for now.

I have a question. I have a normal linksys internet router for $100 bucks. Iwant to hook up my XBOX to Xbox live (i bought starter kit) and I want to know is it better to get the wireless one? how di i install it?

moyam, if you don't mind running the cable from your router to your Xbox, then stick with your current router. Otherwise you will have to buy a new wireless router and wireless access point, which will probably run a little under $200 total.

I was going to get a cable internet connection & they only have 1 connection, so is this what I would need? My PC is on the 2nd floor & the Xbox is in the basement. Would the signal travel better either way (router in basement or 2nd floor). I thought I'd put it upstairs so the PC can connect directly. Is there any signal interrupt at all? My cordless phone has a problem finding channels sometimes in my house, so I just hope this wouldn't. So with the Xbox Live kit, we're talking $250.
