Yes, I have it hooked up as a wireless adapter for my xbox 360 and it works flawlessly. I also have it connected to a linksys router rather than the standard airport extreme, which with a little configuration isn't hard to do either. All in all a great product

I am sorry but I don't have an apple router. So I am unable to speak on that. I do have a NetGear router that it connected automatically with. I set it up as an access point and it works great. Since I have a kind of long house and the router is at one end. This has greatly extended our wireless signal in our home. A access point is the best way to go, since it connects to our router by a Cat 6 internet cable so you don't lose part of your bandwidth when you set it up as a WiFi range extender.

The Apple Airport Express A1264 54 Mbps Wireless N Router (MB321LL/A) is the one you'll need. I found two of them on eBay back in April but they're getting tougher to find, at least new.

Hello Raymond,That's the exact application I needed in my living room. My Xbox, for some reason, wasn't picking up the WiFi signal from myrouter, so I just ran an Ethernet to it and it works great. Hope this helps.JIM

I used it as an access point, to connect the Xbox, which is wired to the existing Wi-Fi. It does have options to be used as wireless router also. I am happy with its performance for my purpose.

Yes. See http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MC414LL/A/how-can-i-use-an-airport-express-as-a-range-extender-for-my-airport-extreme/QFTKCTT7YC727J7CP for details. As with all extenders performance will be much better if the extender is connected to the base with an Ethernet cable, but purely wireless extension will work.

Yes. It can be connected to an Xbox. For a wireless connection, as long as your Xbox had that capability you shouldn't have a problem.

Yes and yes. I used mine to tie my TV downstairs with my main desktop which is upstairs. I am also able to connect my X-Box 360. I have not had any interference issues - it should be noted this operates on a proprietary 5GHz frequency and doesn't interfere with your WiFi signal. I have also not had any reboot issues, though you are range limited - I have used mine at a range of around 20 feet.

It's both, good for laptops, mac laptop, x-box, ps 2, ps 3, and etc. It works great. My son has an x-box 360 and needs to connect to router due that we do not have a wireless x-box and it works great.

The router supports Xbox Live and Video streaming. Are you streaming via your Xbox? What error message are you getting when you try to use Xbox Live? Email us the detail at LinksysCares@linksys.com so we can properly assist you with the troubleshooting. You can also check the link provided by Darrell.

Yes, you can do exactly what you're asking. You have to go to the settings of the AE and choose the option "Join a wireless network". Select your wireless network from the dropdown list of the networks your device sees, put in the WEP/WPA password for that network if you have one, and make sure you check the box that says "Allow Ethernet clients to connect". You're all done at that point. I use an Airport Express in this configuration as a wireless adapter for all of the components in my media center. I have one AE connected to the wireless network and have the ethernet cable going into a switch that then feeds my XBOX360, PS3, Wii, TiVo, and Apple TV.

I used to use this with an Xbox 360 and Playststion 3 both linked to the same router. Worked fine. May need to also consult with Xbox support as well.

Quick question; I continue to buy wireless components and was wondering if there is a limit to the number of wireless devices that can connect to this router? I have, computers, playstation, printers, DirectV boxes for several rooms, etc. that are all wireless and I would like to know the limtations of this device. Thanks in advance. ~ Gunner

Yep. If you want to use your 360 via wireless you'll need one of the wireless adapters from Microsoft. Otherwise you can connect them via ethernet cable without any additional stuff. I ran mine like that and never had a problem.

I don't think so. I recently moved and tried to use this for AirPlay before my internet and wifi was installed and it wouldn't work. This model is really old, the past few OSes won't even allow you to configure it. I highly suggest getting an Express that is more up to date.

The wireless router is your main/basic unit; this Powerline device works only to extend the Wi-Fi capacity of the router. The point of this model is to provide an Ethernet (wired) connection to a remote device, such as an Xbox or Roku 3. The package includes 2 Ethernet cables. Such a connection reportedly/generally/usually provides a stronger signal than a Wi-Fi one. With this unit, the connection is actually established through your home/office/whatever power lines; hence the name of this Netgear line.

Yes this connects to my sons xbox 360 slim (his older model white and my older black one also), my ps3 and our smart tv. I started using an Ethernet cable to watch my streaming movies or for my son to play xbox because wifi just doesn't seem able to handle it and I'm tired of waiting on cable appointments for them to make it better. Good luck
