First - Does the speedstream modem have an ethernet port as well as USB? I know you said your PC doesn't have ethernet but does the modem? If the modem has an ethernet port any old generic wireless router will do exactly what you need it to...unless your speedstream modem is a bridge (which most of them are). You need to find out if your speedstream assigns IP addresses (has a DHCP server)...if it does then you can leave your pc hooked up the way it is, hook a router to the ethernet port, and connect to your wireless router via wireless adapter for your box. ORRRR...if the speedstream has and ethernet port and routes IP addresses you can just leave your pc to the USB connection and plug the xbox into the ethernet connection. BUT...if the modem is a true bridge you will NEED a router that allows for usb network connection - or just get a usb to ethernet adapter for your pc for like $20 and make everyone's life easier

And Gearsofwarkiler - pretty much all wireless routers are DSL/Cable routers, it'd be pretty tough to find a router that's specifically for one type of internet connection being that they all talk to each other via ethernet.

Hope that helps a little
