Get another RJ-45 cable modem, then connect one end to your router, and the other end to the XBOX. But in your case, you are saying the XBOX is in the other room, so your best bet is to get a wireless homeplug.
It simply uses the wiring cables in your house, as an internet medium, to transfer internet date through the cables from the router to the XBOX in the other room. But this method is expensive. You need 2 pairs of homeplug, and they are retailed at around rm300

OR you need a wireless bridge, quite expensive as well A pair of these will do, one connected to the router, the other one connected to your Xbox. http://www.netgear.com.au/Products/APsWire...s/WNHDE111.aspx

It can be done. But depends on your settings. You want to stream HD media or install HD media onto XBMC?

xbox1 processing capabilities just not powerful enough for most h.264 or avc1 video. if you really have the time to convert, then better to convert to xvid and higher bitrate while maintaining same resolution.
my suggestion is better to get a cheapo dual core cpu and mid range GC. might cost almost 1k but you wouldn't need to waste time anymore to convert few hours just to watch half an hour show.

BTW XBMC ROCKS for your xbox: cannot. if you plug and on it, you would have a smoking xbox. have to use transformer. for your 360: you bought a 240v power brick? then you can use it with your 360, no need transformer.
