one problem, its like 85US or more!!! that is way more then i want to spend, i got my d-link router for like 35$ CAD.... would a d-link 524 or d-link 514 work... is there software i would have to load because almost all of these only have Windows CD's to configure them...

Isn't there a way to plug the xbox into your laptop and turn on the Internet sharing so it can use the wireless. I've tried it and couldn't get it to work, it's a pain to set up from what I've read. Check the forums.

This is your friend. It was a project I worked on while at 3Com.

You can put a ethernet cable to it - and it acts as a wireless card (11g) works a charm!
