Wireless Ethernet bridges? Yes. You can probably pick up a bridge for around $60 if you hunt around for a deal, even cheaper if you go the EBay route.
Try NewEgg for ideas.. they may not ship accross the pond, but once you know what you are looking for its easier.SilV3RSix
I have the wireless bridge and it works like a charm. And they have them on ebay for as little as a $10-20 bid. Totally works. Had mine in play since 2003 when I bought my first Xbox.
Um, if you have a wireless router, first off, it makes the Routher think it's a wireless adapter, and it makes the 360 think it's an ethernet cable. You have to configure the thing once with a PC, but once it knows your network settings you can pretty much plug it into any ethernet port in your house and have service to your router... 360/PC/Laptop (if it's ancient and has no Wireless card)
Hmm. Well the situation, I believe, is that we have a wireless router giving internet to the whole house. But for somereason I still have an ethernet cable running from my wall to my PC and whenever I want to play on Live I have to take the cable out of my PC and put it into my 360. So If I get this, will it stop me pluging the cable in and out of my PC constantly? Sorry, I know close to nothing when it comes to this.
Yeah absolutely. You'll be able to use both simultaneously. One word of caution: running an ethernet cable to a PC and then using a wireless adapter sometimes causes my network to hang... an occasional router reset is all that's needed though. I avoid this problem by using a USB wireless adapter with my PC (about $40) and all my network componets (2 laptops, a PC, an iMac, and my 360) all run as happily as they can run.
Uh, dumb thought... your 360 came with an ethernet cable, and you have a router... why not plug your PC AND 360 into the router? It should have 4 ports for ethernet cables, so go for it. You can run both at the same time within like 30 seconds of finding that cable.
