How can i connect to Xbox live when my computer and xbox are in different rooms?
Launii3G asked:
Okay, in short my xbox is in one place but my computer and modem are in the other. I need to connect to Xbox live. I have and adapter but its not strong enough to reach the signal from my wireless router. I cant move my xbox to my computer room but I do have a laptop that gets the signal fine that i can have in my room. How can i make Xbox live happen?

You need to buy a really long ethernet cable. Just measure how far the distance is along each wall and buy a cable maybe 5 or 10 feet longer just to be safe. Just plug the ethernet cable into your router and you should be good to go. Either that or buy a new router with a stronger wireless signal.

ethernet and that thingy that allows you to run your computer away from the wall jack…. oh what is that word.

You can run a cat 45 cable (internet, j45, whatever you want to call it) from the modem to the xbox. Or you can have a wireless device that finds the wireless router and put that by the xbox. That is what I did with my ps2 and it worked to perfection.

I would get a 50 or 100 foot ethernet cable and hook directly to the router without wireless first. This is only to make sure it is not some other problem than the wireless so you don’t go spending money and effort only to find it’s not the wireless. Especially since your laptop works from the same location as the XBox.
If it IS the wireless then you can get an inexpensive antenna booster for your wireless router. Check Circuit City/Best Buy/NewEgg.com.

just hook up the ethernet cable from your 360 to to your laptop. Once you do that, on your laptop, go to control panel, then network and internet connections, then network connections, right click on your internet connection, go to properties, then advance and check the box that says “allow other users to connect…”
Basically enable the internet on your laptop to share its connection
xbox
what you can do is buy a router with intennas and a wi-fi adaptor for wireless connection or you can buy an extender for the cord supplied
