If you choose to do a wired connection with an ethernet cable, how does it work out? You plug one end into the 360 and the other end into what? Is it a router, modem or ADSL outlet?
Are there restrictions on what you can use to gain a connection?

You'll need a Modem involved somewhere...
I always look for a woman who has a tattoo. I see a woman with a tattoo, and I’m thinking, okay, here’s a gal who’s capable of making a decision she’ll regret in the future.
Yeah, either way.
I *think* you can plug it directly into your internet connection w/o a router if you can manage to plug the ethernet into that given connection (reason I say this is that the 360 can search for your cable provider, and gain access using your password). I've seen that this is possible.
But at any rate, I've used my X360 in 1 of 2 ways to connect to XBL:
1) Take the Ethernet Cable and plug it into a router. Rather quick and easy
2) Plug Ethernet Cable into my Laptop, and use my Sprint Wireless Broadband to gain access from anywhere there's a power outlet and my wireless connection (which is most anywhere I live).
The X360 is rather versatile in how it can connect, imo.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
Chances are you will have only a single "out" port in your modem which you will use for your PC so you need a router with multiple "out ports" to go into your modem and then share the love with multiple devices. That's how my PS3 and X360 are hooked up to a cable modem, through a router with four outports.

Is a router the only way or atleast the most reliable?
ADSL/CAT 5e are those ones where you plug phone cables into, some places have it so you can just plug in a ethernet cable from computer to outlet for internet
Are both a router and modem needed?

If you only have a modem, thats fine as long as you dont want to be on your computer at the same time. I just switch my cables when i need to.

What if your main modem is inaccessible and the extending one is incompatible? Then is another modem required or a router, are all routers compatible?

1 modem + 1 router (with multiple outputs) == love for everyone
My wireless router from linksys cost me something like 40 bucks (probably cheaper now) and the modem is usually provided to you for free by your internet provider. Do the math!
EDIT: I find MrBubbles' kitty rather distractingly cute
