    Hi guys,
    I haven't been on Xbox Live in ages and was thinking of resubbing. One problem is that I can't connect the xbox through my laptop. My options are either to get a really long ethernet cable or an Xbox Wireless Adaptor.

    Does anybody have any tips or previous experience with the Wireless adaptor not working with eircom broadband?

    Thanks.

    I wouldnt get the adaptor.

    I had eircom broadband, with the crappy netopia router too far away from my xbox for cable and I went with the adaptor but the connection drops all the time and it takes about 8 hours to download a demo.

    Around this time last year I found the solution, homeplugs.

    I got a set on Adverts.ie for €50, I would recommend looking on ebay.. Basically you plug a cable from your router into one homeplug and plug it in to a socket near the router, then plug the other one in a socket beside your xbox and have a cable running from it into the xbox.

    You end up with a much more stable wired connection.
