Just got DSL - Now Want X-Box Live

I just made the move from dial-up to DSL. I've had an X-Box for a
couple of years and have been wanting to play online ever since I got it.
Well, now that I'm hooked up to broadband I'm ready.
So, what exactly do I need to get hooked up to X-Box Live? I have the
high speed connection. What do I need next? I would like to hook this up
wireless. I don't have a wireless router tho yet.
I've seen something in the store by Linksys called Linksys WGA54G
Wireless-G Gaming Adapter. Would I need this plus another wireless router
like a Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router? The wireless-G gaming adapter gets
hooked to the X-Box and the other wireless-G router gets hooked to my DSL
modem. Correct? So I have to get both of these things to do X-Box Live
without wires?

| The Xbox just has a Ethernet connection. If you want wireless you'll need
one of them Wireless Gaming Adapters to plug into the Xbox. You'll also
need a Wireless Router to send the Data to your Xbox's Wireless Adapter.
Wired is always better and Easier to setup and far cheaper. Either by
connecting the DSL modem directly to the Xbox, or a Wired Router and having
the Xbox connect to that in case you also want to use the DSL with a
Computer without having to go swapping cables around.
Go here for all the Info you should need to get going.

| Welcome to XBOX Live!!! You'll love it! (I haven't bought an offline
game, except for Fable, in the last 2 years since I got XBOX Live)

| A good ISP will have a router built into the modem. If this is the case, I
recommend buying a wireless access point instead of a wireless router -
makes things easier to configure and troubleshoot should you have problems.
The wireless router will work, but there is no point in having 2 routers on
your network if not necessary. Being that I work for an ISP that serves
DSL, I do know what I am talking about.
