OK so I want to have my Xbox360 setup to run directly off my router, and also put my desktop computer upstairs on DSL line not wireless.  Call me old fashion and cheap, but I do not want to buy a wireless card for the PC as I prefer the security of a wire...  I don't have a problem buying another router as long as I don't have to pay double for my DSL.  My current router is a 2701HG-D.  Any suggestions/links/help on how to solve this tiny problem would be awesome. 

About my setup: I live in a 2 story family housing apartment close to my University that is owned by the University... We HAVE TO USE Qwest for phone & internet, however cable is a separate company and provided free.  We also CANNOT put holes in our walls or change any of the original wiring and we have to have the ADSL cables which are not the ethernet size.  I have a phone jack upstairs by my desktop and the router is sitting downstairs running directly to my xbox.
I could probably run the dsl cable from the router, ran the cable TV upstairs and it'd be pretty much the same path although they inspect sometimes and i just have it lightly tacked in so when they inspect i just pull them out and wrap the cord up.  I don't know the quality of cable we have in the apartments though =S

Buy a linksys router and hook the modem into it and set the other comp with a wireless card. Very simple if you follow directions and linksys has free set up support if you Have problems..I suggest a simple WRT54gs linksys router with a USB card for the other PC.If you Have a Ethernet cable going to the comp then you can do this IF NOT you need a real DSL modem.If not your SOL because you need Ethernet DSL cable.

Can you get a 1000 ft of cable and run it yourself with a staple gun or would that be against the rules as well? What exactly does the original wiring consist of? No CAT5 cable I'm guessing?
