Hey all,

Planning on getting a 360 with my tax refund cheque in a few weeks (FINALLY).  Had some trouble connecting the Wii to the wireless router in my house, and had to opt for the USB connector into the computer. 

Is Xbox Live easy to connect to a wireless router, even with some firewalls and stuff on it?  I probably need the network key, correct?  (dont have the network key anymore...got the router a few years ago)

What would be my best bet to MAKE SURE I can jump on Xbox Live with minimal headaches...I was thinking the wall-plug network extender, so I can just go straight into the Xbox (might be easiest), but what would be your guys/girls' advice?

Thanks Gamers,

Sweet, thanks. I hope I dont have firewall problems, or need the network key. But I hope it all works out well.
