Unwire Your Xbox
This 50-foot Ethernet cable snaking all the way through my apartment from the router in the bedroom to my Xbox 360 in the living room? That's how I used to play videogames online. The Xbox doesn't come with wireless capability built in, and I didn't want to shell out the extra $100 -- a third the price of the console itself -- for Microsoft's wireless adapter. Third-party wireless bridges cost a bit less but are still pricey. Finally, though, I found a way to ditch the giant wire with a solution that cost me only 40 bucks.

I have this wireless bridge in my home, everything works but the Xbox, I mean I have a DSL router setup in lets say room A , in room B I have the dd-wrt router setup in wireless bridge mode... attached to this router there are 2 desktops via ethernet cable, everything works fine.. speed and link is ok, i can see both routers and everything... But if I connect the Xbox to the dd-wrt router it cant connect to live.. i have tried with DHCP and manual configurations... I dont remember the version of the dd-wrt but its something like v23 micro not sure... and the dsl router is a thomson st585v6 :( any ideas?
