Wireless Xbox Live??
Hey,
I recently bought an Xbox and I've got a linksys 54mbps wireless router. I wish to get a wireless adapter for my xbox so I don't have to use an rj45 ethernet cable from my router to the xbox (as both will be separated by a flight of stairs). Only thing is, I'm a bit puzzled at what to get, and I'm having trouble finding a product that will do this, I've come across a few such as this linksys adapter. Would this be the best thing for the job?
Any info would be great
thanks
matt

Yes .
That's exactly the configuration I was looking at getting .

Matt, check this out:

It seems that an Airport Express will do the job too, and enable iTunes streaming to a nearby amplifier . You do have a surround amplifier for your Xbox, don't you? .
So my revised pan is to have an AX connected to my cable modem, Airport Extreme card in my iMac, and another AX downstairs for Xbox Live and iTunes streaming .
Wireless rocks!

Thanks for the links . I didn't know there was an 'official' Xbox Live wireless adaptor, but that would certainly do the job. I don't think it's available here in the UK yet though .
Personally, I'm going for the Airport Express route, as I'll be able to stream iTunes as well. And it's an Apple product, not a MS one .

Anyone got any ideas? (Oh and linksys claims that this wireless adapter will give me no lag period, and that it's xbox certified, but then again, I don't know whether it's any good or not.)
Is it possible to use this iBook (getting internet from airport network) to give the internet to the xbox via ethernet?
