    For the router I would recommend a Netgear WRG614. It's not the cheapest but they are good reliable routers and because they are popular if you have problems lots of people will be able to help you.

    Alternatively any of these should do ebuyer Be careful to buy a cable/DSL router not an ASDL one by the way.

    No idea on the Xbox adapter as far as I know there isn't anywhere to get one cheaply.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Xbox360 adapter is about £50 which is a rip off, I got a 10M long patch cable and wired mine direct to the router. You can get one from maplin for about £12.
    Nothing to see here, move along.
