Wireless FTP? What equipment?
 

I want to FTP to my Xbox via wireless connection. I assume it is possible.

What is the easiest way to do this? What do I need equipment wise?

You need 2 wireless routers that can be bridged together. Not all brands work with each other, so you may want to choose 2 of the same routers. The back of the box will usually say if it can be used as a bridge. The booklet or customer support can help create a bridge if both wireless routers are the same. After they are bridged, you can just plug your xbox in.

Alternatively, you can buy a wireless router and a wireless access point (similar to the official xbox wireless hardware). But, a second wireless router will probably be cheaper.

What if???
 

If I wanted to also share my broadband internet connection w/ my new laptop could I use the router I have connected to my PC or would I need a different router?

If it is wireless, I don't see why not. My laptop is on my home woreless network, however, the bridge between my xbox router and my PC router is not wireless. SO I do not go on xbl wirelessly. (i have on wireless and one non-wireless)

Ok
 

So I could conceieveably use two routers ; one hooked to my Xbox and one hooked to my PC to allow me to do wireless FTP from Xbox as well as share my broadband conection?

Yes, as long as they can be bridged together

Would this one work?

thanks!!

I wish I could say. You should go to a comp store and check it out. I didn't see anything about bridging, nor do I see it in that picture. Most routers can, but If you order online with a ruff return policy, that I would make sure. You can probnably read up on that model, put I have to go now so maybe I will post more about it later

Additionally, I would look into the cost of getting 802.11 G transmission speed equipment. Even at this speed, transfers would take a little longer than a direct hardlined connection. SO if you intended on FTP'ing your back-ups, I'd be ready for a longer wait than dragging your XBOX to your computer and plugging in direct... did I make any sense? I'm a little drunk. Happy New Year Everyone!

What if?
 

Could I connect a wireless bridge to the Xbox and a router to my PC?

The wireless adapter MS sells for Xbox Live is a bridge. I am just nore sure if the bridge will give me access to the DVD drive.

I am not sure what you mean by wireless bridge. Like an access point or something? Similar to the official xbox wireless hardware?
