Can't you just connect the router to the XBox, or do you mean you have a modem, totally different thing.

You won't be able to plug the 360 straight into the wall socket, even with a "splitter" as ADSL is not Ethernet (cable might be - never used it, doubt it though).

<_<

The router and modem are in the computer room.
The wires run through to my room via a wall socket.
The cable then goes into my computer.
I then use my computer currently as a bridge.

But i want another way of connecting both my computer and my xbox 360 in my room without bridging my pc.

As I already said, buy a switch, a splitter will not do what you want, the switch will.

Appreciated, i will look into it Whats the average price for one of them things?

In that case, link us the splitter - I've never seen one before.

You can get Switches which work pretty much in this way for like £15.

i think he actually wants a T-Adapter/splitter they will work fine and cheaper and smaller than a switch, and requires no power unlike most switches


splitters are usually RJ-11 filters that split your frequency to your phone and modem,

An rj-45 splitter will do the job for you then.

Thanks all for the help, i will head into Tandy or something tomorrow and see what they have! will let you all know if it all works succesfully.

wait... so why can't you connect your xbox to your router again?

Because its 3 rooms away, and there is only one socket going from that room into mine.

Good luck mate hope you get it sorted.
