I want to set it up but i don't know what to get.I mean i have an idea how it works. But what brands work the best? www.xbox.com breaks it down but i want to know what the real people get.

Linksys is by far the best routing equipment us everyday joes can buy. They are a division of sysco.
I have the Linksys 802.11g Wireless Router and instead of using the Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter or the new Datel Max Wireless Adapter for Xbox 360, I use the Linksys 802.11g Wireless Gaming Adapter.

None out of the ordinary that you get from certain servers.
The coax line where the router/cable modem are provides internet to my Desktop and also split to an analog TV (although I have a digital line amplifier on the TV half of the split)
The only issue is that every once in a while I have to go in and reset the WEP security after a power failure, but I just put both the cable modem/router and Game Adapter on UPS backups with line conditioners.

I'm currently doing wireless on my 360. Using the Xbox 360 Wireless adaptor with a Linksys WRT54GS (or WRT54G which was my old router). Using 128bit WEP Key. Even on wireless I can used the Windows Media Center Extender and pull up all of the Media Center options.
I have two other PC's using the wireless connection. I'm about to upgrade my DSL modem to a 2wire home portal and will then dedicate 54g to the Xbox 360 and the Linksys and then use the 2wire wireless for my PC and laptop as one is only 802.11b which once a b device connects it slows all other connections down to 11Mbps rather than the 54Mbps
