200 foot would still be better and faster and more reliable that wifi.

Cheers for the advice. Batch, I'm assuming the hub you're talking about is an ethernet hub? Would I plug the router straight into the ethernet hub, then run the pc and xbox out of that? Do you know the best one to get?

Yeah either will do I guess, both are technically switches so it's all good. I'd go with overclockers, because ebay is, erm, ebay.

Yeah I agree Batch...Ebay is great for some things but to use a reputable company with come backs if there is a fault is recommended, but TBH either really is fine, I posted that before I saw Mr Batch's post.
Or as batch says and spend a few quid more...around £25 and get the wifi/5 port hub ADSL2+ in one go, which is the better option.
