You need a hub/switch that plugs into your livebox's ethernet port and then allows more than one ethernet connected to it.

The livebox is already a router so a hub/switch is more than adequate. They come in 4-16 ports and for a 4-5 port you should get one from ebay for less than a tenner.

I've only ever used wireledd on xbox, and I've never had any problems.

wireless n adapters are now available from Amazon £54.90 you would of course need a n router aswell unless you already have one
