The wireless adapter for the 360 runs about 69.99-99.99, depending on where you get it. I say just connect the 360 with the ethernet cable to the routers output, and you're good to go.

You don't need any answer from us. You answered your own question. "but was wondering if there is a wireless solution, i know i have to get a xbox 360 wireless adapter," If you get the wireless adapter and cannot connect it yourself, then get someone to come over to your house and hit you on the head with a tack hammer. It's easy.

1. Connect the appropriate wireless network adapter to the console. On the Xbox, a Wi-Fi adapter that connects to the Ethernet port (sometimes also called a wireless network bridge) must be used. Alternatively, the Xbox 360 is also designed to work with certain Wi-Fi game adapters that connect to a USB port. 2. Turn on the console and navigate to the wireless settings screen. On the Xbox, the menu path is "Settings -> Network Settings -> Advanced -> Wireless -> Settings" On the Xbox 360, the menu path is "System -> Network Settings -> Edit Settings." 3. Set the SSID (network name) on the Xbox to match that of the wireless router. If your wireless router has enabled SSID broadcast, the SSID name should appear pre-selected on the Xbox display. Otherwise, select the "Specify Unlisted Network" option and enter the SSID there. 4. Specify "Infrastructure" as the Network Mode. (Infrastructure is the mode used by wireless routers.) 5. Set the Security Type to match that of the wireless router. If your router uses WPA encryption and the type of adapter connected to the Xbox does not support WPA, you will need to change your router settings to use WEP encryption instead. Note that the standard Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter supports WPA while the standard Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter (MN-740) only supports WEP. 6. Save your settings and verify the network is functional. On the Xbox, the Wireless Status screen displays whether a connection has successfully been made with the wireless router, and the Connect Status screen displays whether a connection has successfully been made through the Internet to Xbox Live. On the Xbox 360, use the "Test Xbox Live Connection" option instead.

i have halo 3 and a 360 i tried to go live and it wouldnt let me so i asked somebody at Gamestop and they said i needed a hard drive for my 360 before i could connect

You can connect your Xbox console right to your cable or DSL modem with an Ethernet cable. That's a direct connection. It's fast and simple to set up. router connection is usually the best way to connect to Xbox Live® because your PC and your Xbox console can use your Internet service at the same time.1. Before you connect any cables, turn off your Xbox console, cable/DSL router, cable/DSL modem, and PC. Unplug your modem from its power sourceto turn it off. 2. Take an Ethernet cable and connect one end to the Ethernet out port on the modem.Then connectthe other end to the Ethernet in port on the router. 3. Take another Ethernet cable and connect one end to one of the Ethernet out ports on the router. Then connect the other end to the Ethernet port on the PCI NIC. 4. Takethe lastEthernet cable and connect one end to one of the Ethernet out ports on the router. Then connect the other end to the Ethernet port on the back of the Xbox console. 5. Turn on your modem, and then your router, and then your PC. 6. Make sure that your PC can access the Internet. If not, the router may require a specific configuration to let your PC access the Internet. Check the router documentation for help configuring the router using your PC. 7. Turn on your Xbox console with no disc in the disc tray. 8. From the Xbox Dashboard, choose Xbox Live. Or, play a game on your Xbox Live Starter Kit disc and choose the option for Xbox Live play. If you see the Xbox Live screen, You are connected to Xbox Live!

You already know your options. Either you plug your 360 in to the router with an ethernet cord, or you buy the wireless adapter. Of course, wireless isn't exactly the best for gaming. Lots of lag and spotty connections and whatnot. It would probably be best if you plugged it in. The connection is more stable that way. You might have to do some port forwarding on your router. When you run the network connection test, it will tell you if your NAT is open, restricted, or closed. You can google "Open NAT on 360" to get the answers then, if you need them. You get one more free for Live Gold, which allows you to play online.
