Wirelss help for the 360

Guys I have a Trend 4-port wireless router hooked to my DSL. I have a spare Linksys 4-port wirelss router that was replaced by the Trend. My DSL adn router are in a differnt room from teh XBOX360.

Rather than spend $100 on the wireless 360 adapter from MS, is there a way to connect the 360 to the Linksys, which would then connect wirelessly to the Trned router and the Internet? I think it's called bridging, but I'm not sure.

I saw something called the Logitech Play Link, but I don't think it's sold anymore. Basically the HDTV is in the living room with the XBOX360, and I don't wanna run ethernet cable across the floor from the 360 to the other room where the DSL is.

Any ideas?

I do believe you can use any USB Wireless Dongle since the front controller ports use USB.

I'm going to see if I can understand this method, but if not I'll be back with more questions!
