    I have just modded an xbox and now want to wirelessly connect to my Linksys wireless adsl bb. The thing is I have a second Linksys wireless adsl router I got cheap :) So instead of investing in an 'ethernet bridge' can I use the second router in 'bridge mode' and connect my xbox to it? The idea is that the second router will then connect to my bb router and thus I can get internet connection to the xbox. Anybody done this before? Is this a goer?

    Thanks.

    I wouldn't say so. Unless you zap your linksys with a 3rd party firmware. Is it a wrt54g?

    Honestly though, you would be quicker to run a length of CAT5 from your ADSL linksys to the XBOX. A solid reliable connection over cable is best.

    I actualy want to do the exact same thing as degsie and also cant figure it out. Although I am almost sure I read you could do this recently.

    Anyone have any ideas?
