Need a Wireless PC Adapter

Okay guys and gals,

I'm trying to setup my Xbox live and since my Plasma and 360 are in a different room than my PC, I was told I needed a router.

I recently bought a D-Link DIR-615 wireless router, along with the 360 wireless network adapter.

I've placed the router in a centralized loacation and now Xbox Live picks up the signal much better but it isn't connecting to my internet. I figure its because my PC doesn't have wireless adapter...the router is simply hooked up to a power outlet but has no ethernet cable running to it (approximately 20 feet from my pc.) I didnt want to have ugly ethernet cables running throughout the house, so thats why I got a wireless router.


1. So is it true that I need a wireless network adapter for my PC for this all to work??


2. If so, I read that you should stick with the same brand when buying this stuff, so what would be a good D-Link adapter? What should I be looking for?

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

PC: Dell Dimension E510
Internet: Roadrunner Hi-Speed Cable Internet

nope,i had it hooked up to it at first to set it up but now it's in a totally different room.

My internet on my PC works with my cable modem but my Router has no internet connection at the moment.

If I dont want to run an ethernet cable, I probably have to move the router back to my PC and get a wireless access point....i'm thinking

Hmm..how would I use this?

I can relocate my router back to my computer room and just plug this antenna into my wireless N router and hopefully my 360 has great reception right?

You might have to get a wireless access point so that you can extend your router's range and make it reach your XBox 360. LINKSYS WAP54G Wireless-G 54Mbps Access Point.
