360 WLAN with Wireless Access point/bridge

Hi,

I've not got my 360 just yet, but I'm wondering if it's possible to connect the 360 via a Wireless Accesspoint + ethernet, rather than buying the official dongle?

I think it would work out a bit cheaper, as the cheapest I can get an official dongle is about £45.


Thanks

Just to confirm - I'm not taking about another USB dongle for the 360. It would be a seperate wireless bridge that connects to the existing WiFi network, and the 360 would connect to it via Ethernet.
 
hmm ok then thanks, I assumed it should work as the WiFi link should be transparant to the 360.

I might pick one up anyway and have a play, can always eBay the bridge if I can't get it to work.
 
Update for you, I picked up one of these for £35. Works a treat, took about 5 mins to setup, didn't need to touch a thing on the 360 - it just treats it as a wired connection.

It was probably quicker than setting up the official one, as I could just copy and paste my WEP key into the web interface, rather than mess about on the 360 :)
