729558 2008-12-16 00:02:00 I have an Xbox 360 and I have (as I see it) 4 Options

1)Buy a $158 (DSE's Price) Wireless Adaptor
2)Buy a 1m long Ethernet Cable which people will trip over
3)Use my Laptop to bridge the Wifi and LAN connections (It does work but it gets annoying having to turn on the laptop EVERYTIME I want to use Xbox Live
or
4)Buy a Wall-Plugged Adaptor (www.netgear.com)

I can't locate any so If anyone knows where I can find one, It would be much appreciated.

If anyone has any alternatives, that would also be appreciated (I'm a Student so I don't have alot to spend)

These devices aren't cheap though!

729560 2008-12-16 00:24:00 I'd go for the Ethernet cable if I were you. Just splash out and get a longer one, and route it somewhere more convenient. ubergeek85 (131)

If its only 1m couldn't people just walk round it? If its across a doorway or whatever get a longer one and go over or round still the cheapest solution.

Setup the Asus WL-520gC router to repeat wirelessly, and place it down next to your xbox 360. You can then plug the LAN cable into the Wireless Repeater, so it only needs to be ~10cm long. No cables, tidy, costs around $60 for the router and its a a fun project to setup if you're into that kinda thing

Buy a cheap rug. Place on top of cable. Problem solved.

729565 2008-12-16 06:28:00 I'll go to DSE tomorrow and buy a Ethernet Cable and move a rug from somewhere else in the house until I can (if it happens) get a Wireless Adaptor Ghostdemon (14120)
