4.0 out of 5 stars Yes it does work, December 24, 2007

By	psquare (Lubbock, TX) - See all my reviews

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

After reading these reviews I had already printed my return label when I decided to call Microsoft just to double-check. Yes it does work on the 360. I did the following, and at least it worked for me:
1. Do not use the disk that comes in the box.
2. Just plug it in, go to "settings" and put in your encryption key if you have one, if not just leave it alone.
3. Try more than once. For some weird reason it only worked at the second try.
I have this adapter in the basement and the router in the first floor. It works great, comes with the cable, and I saved $50...

4.0 out of 5 stars After you set the encryption, it doesn't care what it's plugged into., April 13, 2008

By	NukeMecca (Richmond, VA United States) - See all my reviews

I have had this bridge for like 3 or 4 years. I bought it for my original Xbox. Once you interface with the bridge through your Xbox (or Xbox 360) and enter the correct settings (wep encryption key and so forth)to connect with your wireless router, this thing doesn't care what it's plugged into. I've actually used this bridge to connect my Toshiba HD DVD player to the internet for firmware upgrades. Currently, my son has it connected to his PlayStation 2 to play PS2 games online! Once you have it set to connect to your router, it doesn't care what it's connected to.

Pro's: It's fast/Can be used as a universal bridge for any device

Con's: This bridge can only be interfaced through the Xbox or Xbox 360. You cannot simply plug this into a PC and interface with it to make settings for it. It's completely Xbox dependant to change any settings within it./Only supports WEP encryption. And like someone else mentioned, there IS no firmware update for it to make it support WPA (which is a racket by MicroSoft to try to get you to buy their new $100 bridge).

If you want a bridge that supports WPA, buy the Dlink DGL 3420 ($89). You can interface with it through your PC (a major plus) to make settings for it and use it for any device, including the Xbox 360.. just like the MN 740.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works!!! It really works!!!, January 19, 2008

By	J. D. Martin - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

Just like the majority of the reviews on here, this guy works with the Xbox 360 with no problems. The device found my wireless network with no problems. And after entering my WEP security, I was able to connect to Xbox Live.

Save yourself some money (and a USB port) and buy this one over this:Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter
