A Reggae Lee Bowyer Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 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?

A Reggae Lee Bowyer Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 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?

kaini Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 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.

Guest El_Chemso Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 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.
