Ok, i have wired broardband at home, parents getting the poos because there are ethernet cords running down the hallway to my room. Can I get a wireless modem, set it up in my room (i have the money for it), (ethernet cable from modem to xbox 360) will this allow me to xbox live? Do i even know what i'm talking about?

Ps: no pc

Reply would be appreciated.

isaacace, I've said this exact thing on these board for who knows how many times. You hit the nail right on the head. So here is how it works. First off you have a boardband modem, then your router (some ISP's use a combo unit of modem and router in one), then you get a second router. Of course you need to have your modem and first router up and working normaly. Now you use a regualr ethernet cable and hookup the second router to a PC. Most routers require a physical connection to set them up for security reasons. So then you access the second router and enable the "access point" option and set it to access the orginal router. Next unplug the second router and move it to the 360. Plug it in and run your ethernet cable to it. Viola! wireless 360. You can find many a $20-$30 router at places like walmart so it will save you as much as $60 on the $100 wireless adaptor that MS sells. Thats just enough to buy a new game. And as a bonus, you expand the WiFi range of your network. Yet I still have friends who paid the $100 for the little adaptor and ended up getting a second router to extend their rage later on. Sheesh. Anyway, it works and works well. Give it a try.

EDIT

I see you dont have a PC. Well, you simple going to have to get access to one for this plan to work. There is no other way to setup the router without one. Good luck.
