Sorry, the diagram's messy...

I made it myself if you haven't noticed



I guess what i'm asking is if i can connect 2 routers together and still get the internet connection.Hook it up and try, but I very much doubt it! Why the need for the extra router?Well the computer and the xbox are in the same room and i already have the router and instead of buying like a 25 dollar 75' cable i was wondering if i could just buy like a 10' cable.

I know, im cheap.

HahaYou might need a crossover cable between the TWO routers, rather than a straight through cable. I would imagine that would do the trick. A router is basically a hub on STEROIDS, right Backdated?Or do they make Ethernet Splitters?

Because if they do that would probably work right?That wouldn't be very satisfactory. Potentially too many hops from each extremity of the NETWORK. Find someone who can make up a cable for you. It's a pity you're not in the UK - could do it for just a few dollars.Nevermind...

I bought a 3 dollar cable and tried it and it works perfectly. It even seems to go faster.

Thanks though.I decided to use a little bit of imagination on you diagram.

I added a little bit of color.
