you're making this out to be really difficult :L

I'm stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!

which 1 is it lol

15m if you want to connect you xbox direct to your router (if its quite far away)

A smaller one if you want to connect your xbox to your laptop (because you can place your laptop next to your xbox)

did you not get a ethernet free with your xbox??

well i dont have ma xbox yet, but ill see!!!

Router ----> Xbox (via ethernet) = you'll want a cable long enough to reach your xbox from your router

Router ----> Laptop (wirelessly) ----> Xbox (via Ethernet) = you'll want a cable long enough to reach your xbox from your laptop, which wont need to be long

Only thing with using your laptop though is that it'll always need to be on whenever you're playing online. Not a huge deal but might be a bit annoying.

i may just connect it straight to the router

one problem is my xbox will be upstairs and router downstairs

help? lol

get a long cable
