A: I don't know how knowledgeable you are about networking, but assuming you know a decent amount, buy the cheapest router you can, and set it to bridge mode (if the router doesn't have a bridge mode, there are lots of sites that help you flash the BIOS on your router to give it new features.) Buy an ethernet port, and connect your Xbox to the cheap router. Basically what this does, is your Xbox is wired to the cheap router, and the cheap router is connecting itself wirelessly to your dynex router, creating a "bridge." I could go into more detail if its necessary, but thats really all there is to it EDIT: Yes, you could buy that router and any ethernet cable will work. You would connect your xbox to the router via that cable.
