A wireless network can be extended with a Airport express unit. Apple has a support page explaining the set up (See links below). An Xbox 360 can simply connect to this wireless network or you can probably arrange the set up to use an Ethernet connection.

Can you connect the Ethernet cable directly from your airport express to your MacBook Pro and access internet?
If you already have an Airport Extreme Base Station and your Express is used simply to either extend your network range or to use the AirTunes function, then yes you may plug directly to the Express to connect to the internet although the purpose of the Express is to be able to access the internet wirelessly. However, if you do not have an Airport Extreme Base Station and are using only the Express to connect to the internet, then you may not connect to the internet by using an Ethernet cable and plugging into the Express. This is because if you are using the Express to connect the internet, the ethernet plug will need to be plugged into your modem.
How do you add airport express to an airport extreme wireless network to extend the range of the signal?
The quick and easy way to add an Airport Express to an Airport Extreme network is to use the AirPort Express Assistant which is on the disc that came with the Express. This will talk you through the options. Just tell it to connect to your existing network and it will figure it all out for you. It will ask for your Extreme's password and then automatically configure the Extreme to use the Express. Restart the Express and you are done. If you prefer to get your hands dirty use the Airport utility which is in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder. Allowing for different versions of Mac OS X/Airport utility you generally select your Extreme base station and then WDS (Wireless Distribution System) options. Click the + button to add to the network. Enter the MAC address for your Express. Turn off Distribute IP addresses on the Network. You want to allow the Extreme base station to be a Remote base station.

Is WiFi service available in Crestwood Village, Whiting, NJ, from a general provider for in home useage ?
WiFi (wireless internet) is set up using wireless routing hardware. Any internet connection can be set up for home wireless (Verizon, Speakeasy, Comcast, Juno, etc. all serve your area, though without a specific street address I can't be sure which are available to you). Sign up for monthly internet service with any provider, then you'll need a wireless router to hook up to the DSL modem or cable modem that they give you. The Apple Airport Express is probably the easiest wireless router to set up. You connect it to the modem using an ethernet cable, then the Airport emits the wireless signal that your laptops will pick up.
