It might work! try it. My linksys USB wireless B didn't work. The Best bet is the linksys gameing adapter wich is a wireless bridge ($80) or the offical XBOX one. You can get the Offical xbox one form amazon.com for $75 or if you have a XBOX LIVE Diamand Card $55 at circuitcit.

i wouldn't bother with wireless here is why once you are connected to the xbox live service wirelessly no one will play with you online at all because they will see your connection speed and never join a game my recommendation get a super long lan cable about 50 feet or better and run it up to your room

well my up to my room is about 60 ft so i would need about 80 or 100 because i want some slack so i can tidy it up. And is that really true that no one will play with you? And also i mean the xbox and linksys wireless adapter are the the same thing but i dont know this is the linksys thing i am talking about http://media.venda.com/btshop/ebiz/btshop/invt/cbw148/k340331_full.jpg

Yes, I have that Linksys adapter and it didn't work with the 360. I have the XBOX 360 one and I don't have any problem with people wanting to play with me. And to tel you the truth I have never see where you can fing d the persons conection speed. If you do want to go the wired rout, I have also done that. You can get a 100 foot ethernet cable from Lowes for $29.98, or get a selected length cut from Homedepot and get all the right end connecters and stuf for about $35. I recomend the cable from Lowes if you go that rout. You will find the Ethernet cble by the Extension cords and Coaix cable in Lowes. Hope that helps.
