So I am going to be really bored over the summer unless I get Live. But I do not want to spend a lot of money because i am saving up for a new guitar. I have a router, but it is too far away from My Xbox and my parents will not let me move it closer. Any suggestions on getting live for not much money.

To not be bored you could: 1. Get a Job 2. Hang out friends 3. Get out of the house 4. Ride a bike 5. Take up sports/exercise Or: Buy a really long Ethernet cable, like 500 ft. or 1,000 ft.

Logitech Play Link Network Extender

You can find it for about $25nowadays and its works great for online gaming, but less so for large downloads. Thats a perfectly reasonable trade-off for me, though, and I'm very happy with mine.

Its also super easy to install(no software or anything), but does require a router if you want to have internet and XboxLive up at the same time.

Here's a review:

I thought 100ft is the max you can use with Cat5 Ethernet cable.
