How long is the ethernet cable???

[Bob Loblaw]

Bob here, does anyone know how long the ethernet cable, (the one that comes with the premium package) going to be. because my 360 is going to be in my basement and my connection is up stairs.

[xpitbull]

LOL, i will also hook up my x360 in my secret basement; i dont really know how long its goingto be, but i think about 10-15 fts, if you are going to hook it up in a basement i guess you'll need like 30 fts, so i guess you will have to buy another one

it's not going to be that long i would get a wireless router and and the wireless adapter for the xbox 360.

[Bob Loblaw]

oh well I'll jjust buy longer cable if it doesn't reach my 360 all the way

[slipknot666]

alrighty then,awsome user name a arrested development fan?

[Bob Loblaw]

yeah,, great show

[xpitbull]

Well yes a wireless router and the wireless adapter is a good choice, but he is going to be in his basement; so i will say a longer cable

[slipknot666]

but if it's in a basment that means more ground to lay the cord witch can get stepped on and broken over time unless you staple it to a wall witch will take even more cable.

[Bob Loblaw]

yeah the wireless adapter is like $100.00, and im a tigh-wad.

[Bob Loblaw]

oh i have a decent size house but I'll only need about 40 to 50 feet of cable

[xpitbull]

My bedroom is the basement, and it takes about 60 feets of cable because it is stapled in the wall, if i try a wireless adaptor i will get really poor signal

[slipknot666]

mine is in the attic and i don't have any problems with the connection.

[xpitbull]

I think im going to have to buy the antenna to make the signal stronger

I have every room in my house wired up with CAT6 cable. I'm so excited about the 360, I already pulled and punched down another cable behind my big screen in preparation for it.

[slipknot666]

Get a Wireless router and a USB adapter. That all the MS one is. Dlink is a good choice. Make sure the router and adapter operate on 2.4 Ghz bandwidth and transfer info at up to 108 Mbps. This will ensure plenty of uninterupted streaming, no matter what room your in.

I hope it's 10-15 feet, that's all I need.

I have a wireless router about 10 feet from my Entertainment center, and, luckily enough, it has two ethernet ports in the back. So I don;t have to buy the $99 wireless adapter (what a joke!).
