Make sure to note the difference between a router and a hub.  Hubs are cheaper but they are also slower and some ISPs charge extra if you use a hub (because they need to give you 2 IP addresses).  Routers are the better way to go.

Answer 4

i had same problem as you, all i did was find the drivers for my usb on modem (which sucked took me a long time to find them) then connected comp through usb.

pluged my xbox into the ethernet port on my computer

went to network connections on computer

select both usb connection and ethernet

right click and select bridge connections

you will have to have computer on in order to get internet on xbox
