Will This Work?
Internet---DSL modem---wireless router---laptop---xbox 360

no that doesnt work my friend. you need the wireless adaptor. or at best buy for like 20 bux you can buy a 100 foot ethernet cable. I use to have one and stapled it to the wall from downstairs to upstairs lol

can you not put the ethernet cable from your xbox straight to your router?

yes you can put it into the router like me wich im writing from my laptop
