Should work fine. The older versions (of the XBox) used to require a plug-in antenna to pick up the signal, but if it's a new one (less than a few years old), it should work fine.

I don't know remember all the details of setting it up, but I know I used a plain old router.

The Belken should be fine, but here's a link to more detailed information: LINK (http://techtips.salon.com/type-wireless-router-works-xbox-live-1172.html)

I used one I had sitting around, so it was pretty old.

As long as the router is strong enough for the signal to reach wherever the Xbox is set up it will be fine.
