I have a Linksys Wireless-g router at home currently but am thinking of buying a cheap Wireless-N router from eBuyer and using it to connect the XBox to the network. Do both routers need to have the ability to bridge or just the one connected to the XBox ? Mind you buying 2 of the wireless-N routers is still cheaper than an XBox adaptor, with the added bonus that my network has the potential to be faster if I have any 'N' devices connected.

you just need a wireless ethernet bridge, or a wireless access point that supports client mode ...you dont need a "router"

these small wireless ethernet bridges are often sold as "wireless gaming adapters" or such like - basically one ethernet port on them, connect them to anything with an ethernet port e.g. x-box, blu-ray player, and they act as a wireless network card, and connect the device to your wireless router (that provides your BB connection)

Cheers. I was looking at using the router as it's only £15 and gets good reviews.
