I have a MS Xbox USB Receiver Wireless Gaming Controller Adapter connected to my PC in an office downstairs. This is the device - https://www.amazon.com/Receiver-Adapter-Wireless-Controller-Windows/dp/B01AJOZVTG
My boys can then play fortnight and other games on the pc connected to a TV in this office using their Xbox controllers. We need to move this TV and to facilitate continued pc game play, want to find a way to keep this adapter connected to my office pc while they play their games on a TV in the family room.
In this same office is my modem and router. I am running ethernet from this room through two adjoining rooms into the lower-level family room to wire up the tv, Xbox, etc. I think I want to run a USB cable extension along with those same ethernet cables. The distance is about 40-50ft.
I understand that I can extend a USB cable, depending on type, eg, 1.1, 2, 3.0, a certain difference before the signal dies. I also understand that I could buy an active repeater, a hub, or possible run the USB signal over ethernet.
So I am looking for some advice on the best approach with a reasonable prices, preferably less than $20 (if that's even realistic). Appreciate the help.
