There is none.

You can buy a range extender. Those can usually be turned into a bridge. You would then connect this to the ethernet jack on the Xbox. You tell the Xbox that it's connected via a wired connection. All the wireless setting is done on the wireless range extender that is setup as a bridge. Trust me, you won't be able to figure out how to set this up.

There is a generic wired way of doing this. It's called powerline. Check this out:

The configuration is simple. If you don't believe me, just read the reviews on the bottom link.

How do you connect your XBOX 360 to a non XBOX 360 wireless adapter?

Well, if you have a wireless adapter, then you should just plug it into the internet cord slot with the adapter on and all, then go to network settings, and if it is plugged in and it is a wireless adapter, your xbox will reconize it as one, and you can look for networks and set up networks, etc.PS I do not use an official xbox adapter and it works fine, but the official one is very simple and works perfectly, so if it still doesnt work, then the official one is something to look into!

The first thing to start is to restart your router as well your computer. After that make sure that you have a wireless adapter in your computer with the wireless network you have. Also if you are using security, make sure that adapter supports such security option. If nothing works and you know that your router is compatible with your adapter, try resetting the router and start everything over. PS: in most cases people have problems with routers because they are not configured properly or they are not compatible.
