If I bought a 360 but didn't have a router could I still play online with a cable or something? Thanks in advance ;D

Yes, I know you need to pay for xbox live T_T
I'm saying I don't have a router and don't want one so could I get a cable of some sort and use that. Are they ethernet cables or summat?

get a massive ethernet cable or buy a wireless adaptor for your 360

Okay Well How Far Is The Range For The Wireless Because My Bedroom Is On The Other Side Of The House And The Office Is Downstairs

I'll tell you how it works. Without a Router you can't have more than one internet connection unless you have two Network Cards installed in your computer. If you do then you'd have to have the computer on. The Modem running into one of the ethernet ports. The other one you run an ethernet cable from your computer to your 360. I doubt you have two Network cards so You'll have to unplug the ethernet cable from the computer and plug it into your xbox when you want to go on live.

Hope this helped.

wireless will cover your house unless you live in a mansion. or you could buy a router like a really cheap one and just use that.
