    I got a wireless router (D-link g) upstairs in my room. My HDTV is downstairs in my living room where I want to set up a xbox 360. If i get the xbox 360, can I have it downstairs and use wireless for xbox live?

    Yes you can, however you need to buy the Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter. The bad news is that it costs $100... : (

    yes...or you can do what i do which is have one long ethernet cable and connect the router (downstairs) to my 360 (upstairs). this is quite a lot cheaper but it can get in the way. but i know lots of other ppl who do it other than me
