Are you having trouble physically hooking the router up to the xbox, or are you just having trouble connecting to xboxlive?

Man I wish I could help. I have the same kind of router too and was so confused how to hook up the wireless connection across the room. Are you trying to hook up your router to your 360 wirelessly or connecting it straight to a regular internet cord.

Connecting the 360 straight to the router was easy and simple but setting up a wireless connection across the house was HARD!! I had to call customer support. Try using the cd and see how far it gets you.......

If you are connecting your 360 through regular ethernet cables then you should just install the software on your computer and connect everything. That isn't hard but if you are trying to use the 360 in another room and wirlessly connect then you need a wireless adapter for the 360 as well as getting a wireless connection established. That was the hard part....

No you don't put the cd in the 360, you have to set up a wireless connection. You put the cd in your computer and go from there.

BTW you need a xbox 360 wireless adapter to get wireless internet......it's 100 dollars.....

Here it is....

Any of these routers should work http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/co.../equipment.htm

if you want to connect through wireless yes. The 360 unfortunately doesn't have that stuff built in......

Then it should work, you just gotta set it up. To be honest, I never tried to hook a wireless router to an xbox. Mine is hooked up to a regular router so I can surf the net and play online at the same time.
You should probably go to xbox.com and try to follow their tutorial for setting up the wireless router or just call them on the phone for help

There is a tutorial on the XBOX site and on the Linksys site do a search. I have hooked up a couple with that router I have not done the 360 though since I am not really a gamer at all. I did them for customers kids. You need to plug the XBOX into the router for XBOX live.
