hey all,

looking at getting some 85meg homeplugs

got 4 xbox 360's in the house and just wondering lanning over homeplugs from each machine will there be lag in games?? the games will be local and not played on xbox live ;D only bring this up cause i heard the homeplugs are half-duplux

also got 20meg internet and wondering if the homeplug will be able to max out the connection

cheers

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question but I felt obliged to exclaim FOUR XBOX 360's!? You lucky lucky human being.

i dont trust homeplug. CAT6 + 1gig switch = no lag and happy students

ive done this before. works fine, max out the connection anytime.
yeah you could do cat5e + switch - i think that might be cheaper as well.

You lot ever lived in a student house before? 4/5/6+ wires all over the floor attached to expensive hardware.. and you come staggering in at whatever'o'clock drunk... recipe for disaster!

MMD speaks the truth i networked our old student house up but that envolved drilling CAT5e cable through a lot of walls which i dont really want todo as it kinda voids the deposit but hey hopefully they see the bright side and dont take too much deposit
