xbox 360 & wireless question

[Ruddah]

I apologize in advance because I'm not sure the best place for this.


I just got an xbox 360 and I want to set up xbox live, but I have a question. If I were to have it wired, I would have to run the wire through my entire house. So my other option of course is wireless. I checked online and noticed the wireless usb adapter for the xbox is just about $100. My question is, is there any other option besides buying their overpriced adapter? I don't really feel like spending that much money. Would any other adapter work for this??

Thanks!!

It has to be the official XBOX 360 wireless adapter for it to work. There is a way to get it to work using a wireless router (without the adapter) but I don't know the details.

I've seen the adapter on the FS/T forum for much less.

bridge wireless router to wireless router. Either that or run wires inside the walls/under the carpet

Wireless bridge using DD-WRT firmware and Linksys WRT54G (or other compatible router).

I agree. I do that in my house and it works great...
