    USB extension cable?

    Does anyone know if using this on my 360 wireless router will hamper my connection in any way or if it's fine and dandy.

    cheers,
    Malc.

    planning to get this one, is this wise?-

    I don't actually get what you're trying to do to be able to answer your q.
    Kept you waiting, huh?

      It should be fine, if you want to get your wireless adaptor around a corner, or something to that effect.

      Can't see why you would want to though.

        Sorry,

        my connection on my xbox 360 to my wireless router has poor connection quality. And i wanted to buy a USB extension cable to move the wireless dongle on the back of the xbox 360 slightly.

        My question is: I wondered if this USB extension cable would work fine with my xbox 360 wireless dongle?

          i moved my 360 onto the floor on the landing and i get perfect connection, but i can't leave my massive xbox 360 on the landing waiting to be troden on.

            Yes, it surely will. These cables are just dumb pass-throughs. USB has a maximum cable length which requires clever "repeater" cables for extending longer lengths, but for two or three metres these are fine.

            You should be able to get them a lot cheaper than that, tho' - these cables are often given away with USB wireless adaptors for PCs. I'd be shocked to pay more than ?1.50, but of course postage may be a factor.

            Stroller.

              I use a USB extension cable with my 360's wireless adaptor. It works fine.
