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

 

Is ethernet faster than wifi on downloads?

Quick question:

is ethernet cable faster than wifi when downloading stuff to your xboxes?

I prefer to use wifi on my consoles as it is easier to set up...
But if ethernet is actually faster, then I'd certainly hook up consoles to me laptop via ethernet cable...

 

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.

 

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.

 

WEPN7 - If you haven't already, please go ahead and swap to a known working cable, to eliminate an cable issue. You may also try with a different LAN port on your router.

Keep us posted.

 

If you haven't removed the power from your console completely try this. Hold the power button on the console for 10 seconds or until the power shuts down completely. Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes. Plug the power cord
back in and restart the console. Once it is back up and operational test for results.
