I have a wired Linksys router for the computers. I would run a wire, but it would be a big PITA where the TV is located.

1) Can I hook up a wireless router to a free port, and then use the XBOX wireless adapter on the XBOX?

2) Do I need anything else?

3) Does this open my computers to Wifi access from my neighbors? (My area is not high density - lots are 1-1/2 acres, with fairly substantial setbacks.)

4) What should I consider in a wireless router? I see them ranging in price from $50 - $150 and more.

5) Should I go with Linksys to avoid problems?

Sorry for all the questions - As you can see I don't know a lot about this stuff.
