BUY NOW at http://abitronixdirect.com/index.php/xbox-ps3-cat5-extension-kit.html Here is a simple way to extend and connect LIVE X-Box or PS3 to your router. This is the perfect kit to use when your router and console are located in different parts of your home. Its easy "Do-It-Yourself", inexpensive and simple. All you need is this kit which you can find at www.ABItronixDirect.com, it inlcudes (2) Surface Mount Boxes with CAT5E Jacks, 50 feet of CAT5E Cable, (1) 3' Patch Cord to use to connect to your router and a disposible Punch Down tool to punch down the cable to your Surface Mount Jacks.
Keep in mind that for Voice/Data applications we use the standard T568B and simply match the wire colors to the T568B color patterns on the jack itself. Always be sure to punch straight down onto jack, sometimes contractors have a tendency to slightly shift the tool on an angle (usually because of rushing) which can cause damage to the jack. Be sure to remove any uncut wires from the sides of the jack by using a circular motion to break wire off the jack (in case tool didn't cut during the punch). After connecting your patch cable at either end you should now be ready to go LIVE!!! Enjoy!

  • Great job guys. this is much better than buying a long pre-made network cable. or using a powerline adapter. or buying a wireless bridge.

  • @chappimp Thank you !! Glad it was helpful!

  • dude i can connect to the internet on ps3 if my wifi router is in another room?

    or does it have to be side by side with tthe ps3

  • Very good question. The PS3 WiFi usually detects your router within your home with no problems. It does not really need to be side by side with your router. Thanks for your question.

  • @LetArtsLive. Thanks, but would you be more explicit as to what it is that you are trying to do? i would like to give you the best answer but I need to get the idea clearly so I can reply to you the best way possible.

  • @ABItronixDirect since we have cable here does the internet go through all the cables if i hook up a separate router would it be faster?Im not so keen on wireless.

  • @ae106400 well, here in the US it is very similar as far as the 2 year contracts are concerned. Sounds like your second point with a Wireless router with extended antenas (or access points) to get further coverage would work. Make sure your friend allows you access by using a specific password. Just a thought - not really the solution we recommend. Thank you for your comment and good luck!

  • hey, I want to use my neighbors internet. Does this connection have a distance limitation? She lives about 100 meters away.

    An alternative would be to connect another router to her existing one and put this on her roof (which is at the same level as my apartment) is this possible? I could then get the wifi signal better.

    It seems a bit drastic but I'm in Taiwan and would have to sign a 2 year internet contract otherwise.

    thanks

  • @n1kesl1dez Thank you !! Glad it was useful!
