Thought of homeplugs?

Get a cheap old wireless router and set it to be an access point to connect to your existing wireless router. It's how I do it and very easy to do.

Homeplugs was the way I wanted to go but they were too expensive. You can get a set for a lot less now though, around the £30 mark.

go on ebay and search wireless bridge you can pick em up for a tenner I have 2 and they do the job just fine.

have you got an old linksys router?

i flashed mine with dd wrt and that has an option to turn it into an access point so it connects wirelessly to my main router and i just run an ethernet from the linksys to the xbox
