Lux Posted February 7, 2009 Content Count: 6712 Joined: 03/06/08 Status: Offline Share Posted February 7, 2009 Well, actually, no. The wireless isn't standard because an Ethernet cable is, which there's nothing wrong with. I guess, but how much does an Ethernet cable cost?? Alot less than $100. There is something wrong with it though. Wireless can be used anywhere, cabled can be used only close to your router. I could probably fit my ps3 in my room (where the comp is) if I bought a wall bracket for a New 30" HD TV But I find it better that I can have my PS3 downstairs on the 40" Link to comment

I wouldn't trust wireless anyway, it's horribly unreliable - which is the very reason I have the hub. I guess so, but wireless is fine for me downstairs, never had a problem. Strangely in my brothers room (which is closer to the router) its alot worse. Link to comment

If your Xbox is in the living room downstairs, and there are no obstacles in the way of the router, the signal and quality will be way better than if it would have to go trough several walls to reach the Xbox.

On your laptop when connected with an ethernet cord you go into "Network connections", Then go to "Advanced", Then "Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection" Then click OK and turn on your 360! Unless you don't have a laptop....Then this info is useless lol Link to comment

Just go with the direct connect because like everyone is saying wireless is unreliable. If you don't have a certain type of router some things will intefere with the signal like it did to my old and outdated Linksys router (I use a Belkin router now) Edited February 9, 2009 by Coffee Crisp Link to comment
