Do you need a router?

if you have a laptop connected to a wireless network in your home then you can save yourself £40, by connecting your xbox to your laptop with the ethernet cable

Imo wireless isnt worth it. The connection is rubbish compared to wired and cuts out alot. Youd be best buying a big 10m ethernet lead for about 7.99 and just using it wired and unplugging everytime you aint using it. Its alot stronger connection and you wont get cut out if you get a poor signol in your room.

well i do have a laptop yes. so i buy an ethernet cable and connect it to that?

ok lol

also the ethernet cable icon looks a bit like a phone with 4 dots on it?

connecting it to your laptop is still wireless
if you can, buy an ethernet cable and go wired, you'll never have connection problems

aye bigtime, a wierd connection is more reliable better than a wireless. sayin that ive played online via my laptop for a while now and not had many problems.

Cables are more reliable than wireless but we use a wireless adapter for our Xbox and it's worked great since we got it.

wireless cause it still travels from your router to your laptop wirelessly
