long range ethernet cable for xbox

[kas187]

hi all

im going to go live on xbox soon but i need a really long ethernet cable as my pc is on the top floor which is why i need such a long cable. Can anyone recommend any (UK) sites which sell em or make any other suggestions.

FYI: my 2 pc's are connected via router on the 3rd floor and my tv is on the ground floor hence why i need the long cable.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

thanks

kas

EDIT: ive also noticed that there are wireless adapters availabe, can anyone recommend any good ones?

Hello,

DITTO! Go wireless!!!

I have a dlink Di-524 G router and the official MICROSOFT G adapter for the xbox. The router is upstairs with the computer and the xbox is on the first floor. Works perfectly

thanks for the reply guys,

i did a basic search for the MICROSOFT G adapter and it isn't available in the uk, only available in US. Am i right in confirming that i wouldnt need to buy another router since i already have one-which is conecting 2 pc's together via ethernet and can also go wireless.

so am i right in sayin i would only need to get an xbox adapter and another wireless upgrade card for the router?

Hello,

Is your ROUTER wireless???? If its already wireless than you only need the Xbox adapter. Otherwise you need a WIRELESS router and the xbox adapter.

Linksys makes a compatible adapter for the xbox I believe....

He does not need a whole new router, simply a wireless bridge which he can plug into his router.
