getting 360 online

I want to get my xbox360 (upstairs) on the broadband (which is downstairs)

whats the best solution.

I plan to use a bt homehub (if its wireless range/featureset is satisfactory) if not i'll buy an adsl router


as i see it i have 2 (maybe 3) options

1. buy the xbox360 wireless adaptor ? (rather pricy esp as i need to subscribe to live gold as well)

2. run Ics on my desktop (which is next to the 360 and has a wireless card) although i think that might cause some complex NAT related issues due to effectively double natting)

3. If the homehub supports WDS (wireless distribution system) use the safecom cable/dsl router i've got laying around and stick it into WDS mode and then wire the 360 to that (and possibly my pc cus the wireless card on it is a bit funny about signal strengths)


Does anyone know if the homehubs support WDS? i asked when i orderd broadband and they didn't seem to be sure if it did or not
