Anybody doing this: xbox live wireless solution using NetGear

The folks at Circuit city got me sold on the netgear wireless router
and I wanted to hook the xbox up as well. The only thing out there I
know of is the Linksys wireless bridge.

Is it okay to mix and match products seeing how Netgear doesn't appear
to have an xbox solution?

I use a Netgear FM114P wireless router and the Linksys WET11 wireless Ethernet bridge for the Xbox and it works a treat.

As I said, I have mixed brands on a wireless network and it works fine (including a Linksys wireless bridge and a Netgear router).
I've also setup other mixed networks with no issues.

Just make sure that the item has WIFI (which most new items have) and you'll be right.

Netgear makes a wireless access point. It's the ME101. I'm using two
of them right now with the Netgear wireless router (2 xbox's and my
pc). It works great. I got the ME101 from amazon.com for $50.

I just bought the LinkSys WGA11B and am using it with a Cisco Aironet 340
Access Point using 128 bit WEP and it works great! As long as a 802.11b
wireless device claims to be WiFi, it should work with any other WiFi device
out there.

Netgear have a wireless bridge. Check out their website.

I use one on my XBox with a Netgear router and no problems (except trying to
run two XBoxes Live at the same time),
