Alright heres the deal.
I'm in college now, which is cool, but the dorms are Wi-Fi only and I need some ethernet to hook up my Xbox and a few other things.
What would be the best way to do this?
I've seen wireless bridges with 4 ethernet ports on the back, would that work?
Thanks!
Xbox 360? If so you can get the wireless plugs that you put on the back and place it in the USB slot, or you could try this product I found.

Ignore that product, I though it would have been Ethernet out...
I'd rather not do that as I have other devices that require ethernet as well, I want sort of a router in my room I can use.
Hm, a wireless bridge may work but I've never worked with wireless when bridging. Though I wouldn't be sure if you may need to alter with the main hub to bridge to your router.
Linksys WRT54GL with DD-wrt
Other routers might be cheaper for doing that, but the afromented combo is Tried & True.
Get any random router hook the "Internet" port you your pcs Ethernet port and use the standard windows bridge to link the wireless and Ethernet cards.
Assuming you have those ports on whatever computer you have.

Should work no problem unless your campus uses some really obscure scheme to secure it.
