XBOX Live??
Answers: Both the Xbox and 360 come with an ethernet port.
Running an ethernet cable from your xbox to your switch/routeris the easiest and cheapest agency to connect your Xbox to the internet for Xbox Live. This can be difficult if your Xbox is far away in another room.... Some things that may abet:
1: To avoid running the cable along the floor inside your house, or as I used to do, duct-taping it to the walls, try running it outside, and/or through your attic, crawlspace or basement. If you agree on to do this, look into installing an actual ethernet jack in your wall on both ends - it will look neater, and will allow you to slickly plug in other devices (or multiple devices) as your wants change. This will still involve a long wire, but at lowest it'll be hidden, and improve your property values :-)
2: If running a wire is totally out of the query, you can use wireless networking. If you're already using wireless within the house, you're already halfway finished. Simply buy a wireless access point (WAP) for your Xbox, and plug it within using a short ethernet cable. A WAP is essentially a small ethernet switch with a wireless adapter built into it. This allows you to connect distant ethernet devices to a wireless net. I recommend getting a WAP instead of the 360-specific wireless adapter because a WAP will allow multiple devices to be connected to it, while costing about alike as the single device adapter.
The 360 doesn't have Wi-Fi out of the box, so yeah, you can connect to XBL using a wired router.
How can you do it minus 400 feet of cable? Oh, I don't know, I don`t know move the router closer to your 360 or maybe move the 360 closer to the router.
Use a "Homeplug".
It'll agree to you network your Xbox to your router through your D electricity wiring.
