    Hey guys, im planning to get Xbox live, and im kinda lost on how to set up a router and such. any pointers? is a wireless router any better than a cable/dsl router, when connecting to xbox live? (considering cable/dsl seems to be a whole lot cheaper than wireless) any advice, oppinions is great~ thanks!

    I would go with DSL or Cable over the wireless deal. The main reason being the lag that continueally develops throught almost every game in my experiance. And by and by you will get so pissed of at the lag live won't even be any fun. FOr the most part on setting up your router (unless you want to bridge) you just would probably use a direct connection between your xbox and router. In other words you would probably just have a cable plugged into your router that then runs to your xbox.

    Peace,
