I'll be moving in the next two weeks, and I'll no longer have the cable modem conveniently located in my room. I'm not too keen on the idea of buying wireless adapters for both of my computers AND my Xbox 360, so I'd like to find something that I can set up to pick up the signal from a router and then send that to my own router to split off into my components. But, I'd like to look at all the options, as the Airport Express seems a bit expensive for my uses. Any suggestions?

The Linksys WAP54G is a good bridge if you're just looking for g speeds. It has multiple ports so you don't need another router on the computer/X360 end.
