I'll be getting a 360 sometime this month and wanted to know if this set up would work. I have a computer in my room connected to the wireless router through a wireless adapter. The problem is the adapter sucks, it rarely ever works and is very slow, soI will be getting a wireless router in my room. Now since there will be a wireless router in my room(where I will be playing my 360) I could simply plug in my 360 to the router through the included Ethernet cable. I don't care about the wire because it will save me a $100(Wireless Adapter) So would this set-up work well? I will end up getting a pretty decent router, around $100. Thanks for the help.

Another question would it be faster through the Wireless Adapter(360) or would it be about the same using the cable?

Its about the same. The only difference Is having a cable or not.

It's definitely faster and more stable through cables than it is wireless. Wireless can only at most hit the same speed as a cabled connection in optimum conditions with absolutely no interference (ie. cordless phones, microwaves, etc.). So yeah cable is the way to go if the cable itself is not a problem.

Yeah I have the same setup. Wireless for my laptop and psp, but wired for the 360. It's cheaper and as said above more stable.
