Ok, here this goes. I have a 2wire in one room of my house, and my xbox one is about 50yds away with 3 walls between them. My xbox currently gets 600kbs download time which is absolutely terrible.
What I want to do is move the 2wire to my room, so I can connect it with a ethernet cord to my xbox. In my room I have an old style phone jack with 4 prongs that make a square. I have an adapter that plugs into it and has a phone jack in the bottom of it. However, when I move my 2wire to my room, and set it up the same way as it is in the other room, the red light starts to flash and there is no wireless connection. Literally the only difference in the two setups is in my room the phone cord is plugged into the adapter I described, and in the room it works there is a direct jack for a phone line, no adapter is needed.
Keep in mind I have zero experience with this and I am looking for advice and help. I also have a linksys wrt54gl router still in the box, not sure if I could some how incorporate this to make my wireless range and strength stronger, or if i could keep the 2wire in the room it is working in, and use the linksys in my room and connect it to my xbox via ethernet cord.
I really appreciate any help that can be given. It seriously takes days to download anything on my xbox one.
