My son wants me to connect our Wii to the www so he can play his friends at Mario Cart etc. We do not have a wireless connection so we would have to go down the wired route. Until I redecorate etc and can put an RJ45 socket near the TV I was thinking of running a (loose) cable between the PC's RJ45 Hub and the Wii Lan adapter (USB to RJ45). The main problem I can see is the length of the patch cable required which would be 12 to 15 metres as it would need to go from our 'office' down the stairs and into the living room. Will it work over such a distance? We have a BT broadband connection. The Wii internet connection will only be used occasionally so I do not really want to go down the WiFi route and have to set up the PC's again.
Cheers
John
