Using a wireless router as a bridge for an Xbox

[VigilanteCS]

Hi,
I have an older D-Link DI-614+ 802.11b wireless router I'm not using anymore and I was wondering if it'd be possble to use it to run xbox live from a different room. My main wireless router is a Linksys WRT54G 802.11g router. I know using a router as a bridge is possible, but is it with an xbox?

In order to work with a Game Box the device has to be WDS, and been capable to be configured as a Client.

98% of all entry level Routers (including the Linksys 802.11b) can not be comfigured as any thing but Gateway Wireless.

The linksys is a g....The dlink is the one i want to use as the bridge. So there's no way it'll work?

not to reiterate this or anything, but almost all routers can NOT be used as a bridge. You would need to get a product capable of that. Most standalone access points can be configured to do this as well as all wireless bridges (duh... lol).
The cheapest bridge i have seen is this:

never tried it and and i can't be sure how well it works or that it would work with the xbox, but it does mention it being for game consoles...

Edit: also you don't really want to use B equipment if you invested in G stuff b/c they are completely different in how they work and if you have one B device it almost becomes pointless to have G equipment.
