Ok so i want to know if i can have one router upstairs thats connected to modem and another router that is just wirelessly connected to router so i can run a phisical line to my 360, so i dont have to spent 80+ dollars and an adapter. because my roomate upstairs needs the modem upstairs as it the only plug for their phone, and cant run cable either. so i want to just have a second router down here so i can run cable to xbox 360 from second router. is this possible and how?

or i have a computer thats wireless can i use it ethernet port and run a cable from the pc to 360 and get online?

im just looking for cheapest solution for connected 360 so any other ideas are welcome.

you can connect your 360 to your pc and bridge the connection. after you plug it in and turn it on it should show up in your network connections. then you have to select your internet connection and your xbox connection then right click and select bridge connection. then it should be ready to go.

Yes if you set up one wireless router's to act as a access point or gateway. remember it has to be the one not connected to the modem.
