I prefer the linksys, however the dlink is probably easier to set up for the average non IT person.
Both are over a year old, router and power adapter available. interestingly the linksys is very light but the adapter weighs a tonne, whereas the dlink is the other way round. Would imagine it'll be £3 or so, I'd need to weigh it.
As far as xbox is concerned, idon't have one, both used with pc connectivity however not aware of anything specific that is required to support xbox. Iain will know he is a console gamer.

No ethernet cables, if you need one they are cheap as chips from ebuyer etc.
I have the cd manuals however they can be downloaded from the respective manufacturer websites.
Power adapter? They don't run on batteries you know

The xbox one is by far the easier to set up and use, (and it's quick). You can use wireless bridges (i.e. ones which you connect to the 360 via an ethernet cable), but you can't use normal old usb style wireless adapters. They don;t write 360 drivers for them 
only just realised when looking bak at the order.

You either need an ethernet card in the computer (most motherboards have one built in these days but you can buy them as a pci card), or you can use a wireless usb dongle.

You can get a usb dongle for £20+ or a pci card for £5+
How were you connecting the modem to the computer before? Via USB?
