Best Answer

On any wireless connection you can often experience a loss of quality and therefore speed, particulally with high powered uses, like gaming or video streaming, where lost packets are more noticeable (web Surfing should probably not be effected). This gets worse as you move further from the router and as the signal has to travel through thick walls. Also, if your router is on or near a large metal surface, eg a radiator, it could help to move it further away. Generally wires offer more consistent and generally faster connections, balanced of course by the convenience of wireless networking.

Do you need wireless internet to use a wireless adapter for Xbox 360?

Technically, wireless Internet is satellite and cellular Internet. You're probably thinking of extending your cable and DSL connection around your home with wireless. You need a wireless access point in order to use your Xbox wireless adapter. However, there is an alternative to wireless called powerline. This technolgoy works really well. I have this myself. You can use powerline so you can use your wired jack on the back of your Xbox and simplify the setup.
