I have a problem.My ps3 and 360 are on the opposite sides of my living room from my computer.My phone jacks for my dsl are in the kitchen and next to my computer.

With out moving my living room around,how can I connect them both to the internet? An what would be the best bet?

1.Buy another 25 foot cat 5 cable?

2.Buy a wired router?

If you wont to by more cable http://www.monoprice.com/products/su...05&cp_id=10208 scroll down till you see 25ft. It will cause you 2.55

If you don't want wires around get a router

like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833124190

If it is a WIRELESS router, then you should be able to connect wirelessly. That is how I have my Wii and PS3 connected, my signal is always good. No problems.

Still leaves the 360 out. All the ps3 have wireless except the super old 20 gig model though, that would be your best bet for the ps3 part.

I have the "super old" 20 gb ps3.It doesn't have wireless or any of the connections like the later ones.

But anyway,I went to Best Buy and bought a $20 hub.
