Bridging Mode of MN-500: Better than WET11?

[Knocks]

I got 2 Microsoft MN-500 wireless base stations for pretty cheap. I have set one of them up succesfully as a router and a wireless access point. I would like to use the other one with my Xbox in place of the Linksys WET11. I noticed that the MN-500 has a bridging mode, but I can't get it to work as a bridge to the Xbox. What's going on here, any ideas?

If one looks to a common trait between all Entry Level Wireless Network brands, it would be ?Let confuse the customers to the Max.?

Example:

One of the Requirements.

28 MB of available hard-disk space if you are already running Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0; 132 MB of available hard-disk space if you are installing Internet Explorer for the first time

In reality a Router doe not need even 1 Byte of space on the Hard Drive.

Microsoft MN-500, is a Wireless Cable/DSL Router as such it can not be configured as a Bridge or as in client mode, thus can not be connected to a Game Box, as a Wireless Client.

The instruction manual says it can... There's a portion in the manual about adding to an existing network that explains it.
