        How to connect with an Xbox 360

        1.
        Place the TL-WA500G in to 'Client Mode' - Via the web interface from your PC
        2.
        Enter your wireless network settings into the TL-WA500G
        3.
        Connect the Xbox 360 to the TL-WA500G using the Ethernet cable (CAT5e) included
        4.
        Select 'Wired Network' option within the Xbox 360 menus and connect to your Wireless Network.
        5.
        Connect to Xbox Live and start online gaming!

                      For what it's worth, I managed to get this working and documented how to connect Xbox 360 to Linksys WRT54GL using TP-Link TL-WA500G with WPA2-PSK security. This may be of use to others.
