At present, there are two products available, the Linksys WET11 (www.linksys.com) and the D-Link Air 810 (http://www.dlink.com/). Both products are very similar in how they function; you plug a short Category V network cable (provided by the manufactuer) between your Xbox and the wireless bridge. And that's all there is to it.

My personal experience with the wet11 from linksys wasnt very good, playing mp3 or streams I had alot of dropouts using one wet11 at a distance of 50 feet so i added a second one and ran in adhoc mode which did improve it a bit but I *still* had dropouts on mp3's, Instead I found a way to run a cat5 and all is fine now, if you can try to buy/borrow one from a  place with a no frills return policy so you can test it first with all media.

The WET11 works great for me, but I can't get on XBConnect with it... more so, my only PC is wireless as well, and you can't run the XBConnect software with a Wireless PC.  It's very fustrating.  Hopefully they will upgrade the software to include this support.

I would imagine more and more people have WiFi now, and it would be great to be looking at your wireless laptop while getting on XBConnect.  someday.. hopefully...
