Would a Wireless Bridge Work For Me?
I live in a large apartment complex at a university, and they recently installed a wireless internet connection for my building. Although my laptop picks the signal up (Speed-test reads it at a little over 7 Mbps), when I use a USB adapter, it can’t pick up the signal.
My question is, to avoid having to purchase 2 wireless cards for the desktops, and 2 adapters for the xbox, can I use a wireless bridge to pick up the signal, and still maintain a wired-to-computer/xbox aspect?

You can bridge your connection. Basically, the laptop would become a wireless antenna through which if you bridge it to your RJ-45 (ethernet) port, anything connected there would also get a signal. This is a nice way to get around that stupid overpriced wireless adapter for the 360. You could also plug the computer in the same port.
