You need an wireless ADSL router. ADSL routers have built-in modems designed to plug into your telephone socket normally via a microfilter. Recommend you stay with the same manufacture for the wireless cards.

Linksys solution
1 x WAG54G, 2 x WPC54G

NETGEAR Solution
1 x DG834G, 2 x WG511

D-Link Solution
1 x DSL-604+, 2 x DWL-650+

And if you use these people I've a feeling they'll know exactly what you want. Good prices and service too.

Can't agree with you 100% there Matt

Also try Insight Direct or Dabs.

How far away from the PC and incoming line is the XBox - is your signal OK.
I am looking to get two PC's plus an XBox.

I've got the Netgear DG834G Wireless router and D-link PCI cards for the desktops and a Compaq WL110 PCMCIA card for the Laptop, and the range is very good, hardly a packet dropped. I had a D-Link PCMCIA card in my laptop and the range was cr@p.

I have an AWR-8210. I think this is the replacement (ie, new version)

It works marvellously
