Yes, you can plug an ethernet cable directly from the xbox to the back of the MBR1000.

Your MBR1000 shipped today, look for it on Wednesday.

When you get it,

1) plug the xBox to the MBR1000 via an ethernet cable
2) look at the Gaming PDF that is on the CD and follow the directions for the xBox

3) Before doing that, you will need to activate the Sprint card in your computer BEFORE it will work in the router. Probably a good idea to see your signal strength, speed tests and latency first.

You will need an ethernet NIC card in your PC to hook up to the LAN port on the back of the router. You can not plug the MBR1000 into your 56k modem jack. NIC cards are cheap and easy to insall. Or you could just get a 802.11x usb device and use it that way.

Yes that will work Wink

It is VERY easy to set up. When you first connect to the router do the basic setup.
