I don't know and I don't care.
I have a better idea for you:

Go to monoprice.com:

$3,59 for 25 feet cat6 cable.

or do you only need 7 feet? $1.49
or maybe 75 feet? $8.57

Faster connection.
Best value.

Even my PS3 is connected by cable (Even if I own a wireless router for my Zune and my laptop).
Wi-Fi + Gamer = Wrong.

so many things that can get in the way... phones or if you live by a police station or military outpost of any kind even armories can cause all kinds of interferience.  CAT5 RJ-45 cable is the best bet... if you can find it go for shielded version to... it's costly, but your dog/children wont be able to ruin it so easily.



I'll use the cable then. I'll just have to convince my wife to let me when i want to do online lol. Its gonna be ugly, it will be running a long way. But it is better than the wifi

To answer your original question though, yes, I think all Linksys wireless routers are XBOX compatible.

I agree with those here though, hard-wired is the best solution, if you can. You might look into those, over the power-line network connectors. They allow you to run your network to anyplace in your house that has an outlet.

Edit: whoops, looks like I misunderstood your question.  Not sure if a linksys wireless adaptor will work on the 360, sorry.
