As I said, I already have a wireless bridge I used for my original Xbox. So I'm not stupid, I am well-aware of what the options are. For me it was worth it.

I see that I can plug my XBox to my laptop, and the XBox will use the laptop's wireless signal... but online directions seem to vary. Has anyone here done this themselves?

How do you enable wireless bridge? I have a speedbooster dlink router. So all I do is enable the bridge and put a USB wireless adapter on the 360? If I have the HD DVD drive, can I put it in the USB port there? I also have the wired guitar... do I have to unhook the USB adapter whenever I want to play guitar hero?
Any recommendations for cheap usb adapters? I've found them for $12 or so on eBay shipped. Thanks!

I had a linksys wireless bridge for my original XBOX and I had all kinds of problems. I ended up purchasing the 360 adapter that snaps on the back and I have not had any more issues. It was worth it to me to have it always work.

That's because I didn't know what a bridge was, I thought I could put a USB WiFi adapter and have it connect to my existing router Now that I know what it is, the ethernet cable is staying

Well I was using the 360 Wireless Adapter but had to go back to a wired connection when I renovated the garage-to-rec room and the signal wouldn't pass thru all the walls (two plau one brick). But when I did have it connected it worked and it wasn't bad configuring it right. I still have it even though I put it up for sale several months back here and it still is.

I tried the bridge trick and it worked, but my connection was so bad I decided to fork over the money any way and pick it up. I seriously can't complain at all about my connection speeds with it. I just wish there was a way to set your xbox to auto open your NAT when it detects that it isn't open any more for whatever reason.
