Title: Is there another way to get an Xbox 360 online wirelessly...
Post by: Tupin on October 04, 2007, 06:24:57 PM
Other than that network adaptor? Why does Microsoft not have wireless networking in the system itself? Even the the Wii has it. :|

Why in the flying intercourse  would you want to?
All wireless networking does in a console is hurt signal strength, which ends up as a poor connection to matches, etc.

It's fine in handhelds, but nothing beats ethernet in consoles.

In that event, get a VGA cable or move the TV.
Simple.

I ran a 50ft LAN cable through my house. It's not that hard, you just need a crawlspace and a drill.

If you need the cable cheap, go to monoprice.com. $6.38 per roll, your choice of colors.

My parents don't want me drilling holes in the walls just to run an ethernet cord.

It'd cost less to simply move the 360/TV.

VGA cable is win, pretty much.
Most people have their routers near their Computer anyway, so it's perfect for most.

I'm pretty sure it'd work.
I don't have exact measurements, although the cable is a huge ass cable.

Can't. The room that has my router in it has 2 computers and a lot of other stuff so no room for a tv.

Well.. unless you want to pay 100 dollars... no.

Home Consoles shouldn't be used with wireless, its stupid IMO.

Yes.
If you just can't do without it, go ahead.
However, make every attempt to use Ethernet.

CAT 5 Ethernet cable isn't very expensive anyway, I got a 50 Foot for 30 when i actually needed it in nyc.
