Is it possible to connect to Xbox Live via WiFi?

Hey, I just got WiFi and I also relocated my Xbox to a location that would make it difficult to connect to Live with a standard Ethernet cable. Since I am too lazy to do any research myself, I was wondering if any of you guys knew if it was possible to connect the normal Xbox 360s to Xbox Live through a WiFi connection and how?

You could get one of those wireless adapter things. But those are really expensive. I'd just get a really long ethernet cable.

1) you can get a wireless adapter.

2) you would need a working computer. you can plug your xbox into it via an ethernet chord and "bridge the connections" effectively giving it internet through the computer.
to do this, you plug it in, then you open up internet connections on your computer. select both local area network and wireless connection, right click, and "bridge connections"

if that didn't work, or it appears differently you can google a "how to"

i did answer your question. if you have an original xbox 360 (not slim) you need to purchase a wireless network adapter which run at a retail price of $100.00.
alternatively you could save money if you have a computer in the room.

the xbox 360 slims have wireless capability built into them.

i was in a similar situation just a couple of months ago. neither of those methods were within reach so i just bought a 100 ft ethernet chord which is now hanging down the stairs. there's always that if nothing else works. :lol:
