Can this be said with all secure network devices? I didn't know that the 360 supported any kind of encryption. Never really looked though. Wouldn't the apple device work if you just disabled authentication?
Nope he's gotta just be talking about those new Apple Airport Extreme ive been using my 360 on a WEP secured network since launch (Linksys router)

theres a script written in the 360 that confirms the make of the router and says "F*CK APPLE"
M$ luv for ya

Enable wireless security on your router or access point. Your wireless networking adapter supports WPA and WEP security.
Something is wrong with the other hardware, the USB WLAN is fine.

actually the airport extreme is the incompatible one. xbox 360 arrived first...
That's exactly what I was thinking... The news should read "Apple's new router is incompatible with the Xbox360"

1. A $100 USB WiFi adapter should connect to your f**king refrigerator if you want it to.
2. Anyone duped into buying a $100 USB wifi adapter from MS is asking for it, imo.
1)you don't have to buy a $100 USB wifi adapter from MS, you can use a cheap d-link or some other alternative... almost any setup other than an apple wifi will work. what have you been reading? or better yet smoking, it seems to have given you double vision... let me have some.
2) ms offers you their perripheral, so that you can have something that is hassel free, and COMPATIBLE without hassle, it's your inexperience (which shows greatly by the way) or lack of knowledeg (see afformentioned parenthesis) that makes it nessecary in the first place.

Nice
I'd say that most consumers are exactly that, consumers, and so if they want their Xbox 360 wireless they won't research on what you could use for less money, they will go out and buy the readily available M$ adaptor.
So for those "consumer" people who want to use this router as a wireless hub for their Xbox 360 are affected by it. Granted it is probably a very small portion of people.
Realize that as crazy as it sounds, most people aren't you, so before you come here and say something like "Only stupid people buy the 360 Wireless adaptor for $100 when they could have gotten such and such for $50 less." You must understand that most people either don't care, or there time is more valuable then coming to a site like this and researching how to buy a cheaper Wireless adaptor bridge that works as good as the M$ one. Unless you enjoy hoisting your own superiority over others to make yourself feel good, in which case, go ahead
You can't expect middle aged parents to stroll around XS looking for compatible wireless bridges for their 360 can you? I wouldn't.

no, I bought a generic ethernet bridge. can't even remember the name of it. I just know first hand from helping others using the ms-740. There was actually a tutorial for the original xbox for wireless networking in the tut section, me just being savy, I read up on networking and learned. As was mentioned previously, most people are consumers, only about 8-10% of people who actually purchse a game system would ever think of coming to this site to learn anything, much less:wireless networking, ethernet bridges, dhcp, access points, signal repeaters, or for that matter anything on hacking consoles in general and as such would not be privy to the vast amount of information this site provides. I just happend to reasearch, because I'm not one of the few who can spend that kind of money. I have to wait at least a year after the console is launched in order to make an informed descision on which console to buy.
sorry 4 the rant. nuff respect.

This is news worthy for 2 reasons. 1) Apple is arguably one of the top manufacturers of consumer electronic devices, with a fanbase that thinks that it can do no wrong. There really is no reason why their new router should not work with the 360. This article will probably stop hundreds of 360 owners from buying this router, saving a lot of time and hassle. 2) Not everyone has the time to sift through all of the pages of the forum to find out different tidbits of info. I personally only use the forum when I'm having a problem, or to comment on a news story.
