Ethernet Over Powerline With Xbox360

I'm getting proper fucked off with trying to play black ops with my wireless adapter and getting lag. The lag isn't really noticeable until i lay some rounds directly into someones head, get killed then watch the killcam only to see that they weren't even hit. I've read that using a wireless adapter for online gaming is a bad idea because of the poor speeds. Someone suggested using ethernet over powerline adapters to get around the problem of having your router on the opposite side of the house to your xbox and apparently its a fast connection. Does anyone know if these things work well for xbox gaming or at all?

No idea.

In all honesty you're better off asking on an XBox 360 or networking forum, no?

i did this at one point but it was basically for picking up the neighbors internet

ethernet over power is still... sketchy

your milage may vary

alright thanks. doesn't seem like a solid idea then. how about using 50+ ft of ethernet cable? is that likely to slow the connection?

yes.

your best bet - move your router. or the xbox

long ethernet will be fine

you need to get an epylon234 cable and plug it into your agnupulse display

it has to be a twisted-pair epylon, dude.

oh yeh sorry. I forget because I have a 3C-boidle unit and It operates fine with a non-twisted-pair epylon cable.

ah! built-in detwisters, very nice dude. the newer ones only implement that by USB-over-CoAx, which just aren't up to the task, if like me you're working with .XLS files over 250 megapixels, obviously.

50 feet is fine... you wont notice performance issues until you hit 300' or so. I have personally ran 200' cat 5e runs when I worked in a datacenter with no issues.

i once saw a hack where two crazy russian fellas lived about 5km apart, with nothing in between but flat-ish tundra (siberia or some shit, i guess). they hacked two routers to boost the signal to crazy levels (WRG54g's iirc, highly hackable things <3) and spliced the antennae into satellite dishes... all so the more remote crazy russian could get internet access. insane hack.

fucking russians and their technology.,.

this. as long as it's good quality cable in good condition, you should have no problem.

The new xbox built in wireless adapter is poo.

I've used Power over Ethernet for over 2 years now in two different places and I use it for my computer to the router and get full speed amazingness. And I did use to use it for my xbox as well and got excellent speeds.

I have the Comcast ones. So good I just bought a second pair this week.
