theres no place around here where i can get one for that cheap. i only got stapels and radio shack, thats at radioshack. i just want somtin that'll do the job till i can afford a better one. so a simple yes or no plus an explanation would help.

it should work, the only reason that it might not is cauz the Xbox needed its own local IP address and a router provides that so i dunno. . . . . but I would say . . .. Probaly

i would say no, it doesnt even look like it could handle a dial up speed..lol...you need to set up ICS to use that if its only a hub. Good luck.

my vote is a no...Xbox needs it's own IP and that piec of s*h*i*t wouldnt ive it 1. Do wat i do...save ur 20$ for that garbage and just unplug ur modem adn take it to the room with your xbox and plug it in and your good to go...very easy.
