Hi all,
PROBLEM
I have an Xbox 360 in my bedroom, which is on the 2nd floor of my house. My FiOS Actiontec Router is on the first floor of my house. My Xbox 360 does not connect/recognize the router, which leaves me unable to connect to Xbox Live and therefore unable to play online. The path between the router and the Xbox 360 goes through one ceiling/floor and a few (not sure how many) walls. I'd say that they are easily only 20 feet apart, at most.
QUESTIONS
How can I increase the range of my signal to connect with my Xbox 360?
Can I move the router to my room, depite having no cable outlets (FiOS white cords) in my room?
Is it worth the trouble to try to run a 40+ foot ethernet cable to my room, without sacrificing speed?
Are there any reliable antennae that I can attach to my router to extend the range?
Preferably, I would like to move the router to my room, but understand the challenges associated with that task. Please enlighten me (and speak English ;) ) as I am a "noob" with all of this router stuff.
Thank you in advance!
