I have a
Netgear 2.4GHz Wireless Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch
Model: MR814.

Thats in my game room, along with the cable modem and my pc.

My PS2 and xbox are both in my room. I want to hook them up to the internet, but i cant run cables across the room. What are my options. Only thing I can think of now is buy a

Linksys Instant Wireless Ethernet Workgroup Bridge
Model: WET11

and like, bridge the wirless netowrk back to an ethernet. but thats like over $100... sheesh, thats harsh....

anyone got any ideas on how else to do this?

 

pretty much, my friend had the same problem and had to buy a bridge, same exact one too

 

that WET11 works with XBL, I know that much. If you play it online a lot, then it might be worth it to you. If not... run a cable under the carpet? :dunno:

 

How easy is it to run a cable under the carpet? I mean thatll be soooo much cheaper.....

$5 compared to like $150.

 

or you can run it along against the wall too

 

yea thats what i would do,..i mean its a game room,..not that one room wiht plastic everywhere and you wasnt allowed on the WHITE carpet and only time people go in that room is when guest was over

 

Thats what im thinking. But my mother doesnt seem to agree.

 

you don't happen to have an attic above both these rooms or an unfinished basement below them do you?

 

I'd just string the cable over. Those bridges are expensive.... but that's mainly because of the wireless craze that's going on now. Once it dies down (in like a year) we might see those things for $50 or less.

 

I spent under $100 for the rest of my network.


And yeah I do have an attic, but wamt that mean i need to drill?
