Default Wireless Xbox connection?

I've currently got the following setup:

NTL Cable Modem -> Linksys Cable Modem Router (1 WAN port, 4 LAN ports)

I've then got a PC next to the Linksys Router (Upstairs) plugged into 1 LAN port and the Xbox (Downstairs) plugged into another LAN port with a 20m ethernet cable.

I want to go wireless so I don't have to drag a 20m cable through the house everytime I want to play Xbox Live, what do I need to buy? I need the cheapest solution possible please

Drilling a hole in your roof is the cheapest solution.


But if its only two computers and no more you can just run two simple wireless PCI cards DLINK etc for about £11 each.

But putting a wireless router in for about £46 with built in NAT, Firewall, programmable switches, port control and 256 additional wireless channels you are future proofing.

Please note that unless you get a constant 95% Plus signal - it will never be as good as a fixed wired system.
