    You're confusing me again. There should only be one wireless router in the house. That's what everything else connects to. The router is what is connected to your internet connection (phone line or cable). Anything that you want to connect wirelessly should either have wireless built in or use a wireless adapter. So I was assuming the X Box has a wireless adapter (not a router?)
    I apologize for confusing you it is not my intention, there is only one wireless router in the house,yes it all connect to , I apologise again my son says it is a wireless adaptor not a router

    hook the pb up to the router wired.

    go to www.routerlogin.com

    or www.routerlogin.net

    admin
    password

    wireless settings

    there you will find the ssid (virgin media) and the encryption key and type wpa-psk/tkip (if it is encrypted), tell the xbox the same details, and that should be it.

    do this with the xbox in the same room, get it working, then try it upstairs.

    the pb does not need to be wireless for the xbox to work wirelessly.
    just comes up with error every time even when I put it through google the page goes off
