Well, I will finally be getting broadband next week. Problem is, we're going wireless. What will I need to buy to get my xbox connected? I went to microsfoft's website, but that was a little confusing. Thanks.

I'm not sure where you live, but in Canada here we have a store called Future Shop. They sell wireless xbox adapters that work universally. The store is similar to Best Buy, and they retail for about $80 - $100 CND. That should be what you're looking for.

A wireless router should still have CAT5 plugs in the back of it. Our router is wireless, and we just ran a CAT5 cable from it to the Xbox.

I second what Carn says. My router is wireless, and I don't even use that particular feature; everything is plugged directly into the router with ethernet cables.

Micro$oft sells a wireless adapter for the X-Box, but as others have said the wireless router should have ports on the back to hardwire your system. (I don't think stand-alone wireless routers even exist...)
