How to Connect Internet Cable directly to Xbox 360

Hi everybody.

So recently I've been experiencing a lot of lag on CoD, i.e, whenever I join a game I get 2-bar and 3-bar connections. So I decided to search for some solutions. I read somewhere that I can fix this problem by directly connecting my Xbox to the router using an Ethernet cable. Now the problem arises as I do not possess an Ethernet cable.
Currently, I have a cable through which Internet is supplied (It's a Fibrenet connection, which uses Optical Fibres for transmitting the Internet) and this cable is connected to a router which provides me WiFi.
I was wondering if I can connect my Internet Cable directly to the Xbox 360 without Ethernet cables.
(The cable looks exactly like an Ethernet cable so it can fit into the Ethernet jack of the Xbox, so that problem is covered.)

EDIT : I connected the Internet Cable to the Xbox but when I tested connection, It does not connect to Internet. Help

Help please - After 4 months of multiplayer via Ethernet connection can now only connect with wifi. Have power cycle modem & console 5 times plus signed out twice.

Power cycle your networking equipment and connect your console with a different Ethernet cable along with a reset of your consoles network settings.

Let us know how that goes and we'll go from there.

Never thought of that, thank you very much.

I'll have to bring it home and connect it to my tv again to make sure, but I'd say you are correct.

Do you have permission from your office to do this? You may need to check with your IT team to confirm that they arent using vlan or subnetting off unknown devices.

In my office the Xbox would be dumped onto a restricted vlan and as such you'd have no access to it and it would have no access anywhere.
