Xbox 360 and BT Home Hub?

Posted: 01-18-2009, 12:50 PM
Have an Xbox connected via cable to a 3Com wireless modem/router and it
works OK but I have a cable going right across my living room.
I have an old BT Wireless Home Hub, the white one, not the newer type. Is
it possible to get this to work as a wireless adapter for the Xbox? My ISP
is not BT.
Alternatively will any wireless adapter work with the Xbox or must it be the
MS approved one which costs over £50?

Four do, on this very server. Just look for the ".xbox" branch in the
group list/tree.

Thanks for the replies.
From here:

it seems it can but only if wireless on router is set to WEP.
Wouldn't take a chance on reducing security.
