What is the best Ethernet cable for the one? Cat5e or cat6? I am about 45ft away from my router so I need a cable.

Constant disconnections from XBOX Live

Then I would definitely get a long ethernet cable so we can bypass the WiFi for troubleshooting. Ethernet cables can go as long as 100 metres with standard cable, longer with 'e' grade cable, and since WiFi can have interference from many, many sources,
it is highly recommended to remove WiFi as a possible problem. For comparison pricing, visit

Xbone has internet but yet no internet? #Titanfall

@ bowski

You should look into Ethernet Over Power. I use it, works brilliantly, no 100ft cables necessary.

With that kind of distance you may be better off going wireless. Does your modem/router offer wireless capability?

Seeing as how on that distance the wireless signal could be disrupted easily I would recommend a cable. CAT6 cable is better as it has a higher transfer rate but CAT5e will do the same job as you don't have ridiculously high data transfer rates

We've recently had sky Q installed and two miniboxes. The problem is now that the speed of the internet is slow for where my xbox one is in the house. The main sky q box already has an ethernet cable connection to one of the minibox number 1 to improve the
connection speed elsewhere in the house.

My query is how do I improve the speed of my xbox internet connection - can i run an ethernet cable to a sky q minibox (number 2)? I can't run the cable to the main sky q box as it already has an ethernet cable going to minibox 1.

Or could I use a splitter on the back of the main sky q box - one to continue to go to minibox 1 and another cable direct to the xbox?

Many thanks

You need to a switch not a spliter

I don't personally have an Sky Q Box.

If that box is capable to increase/repeat (or acts like a WiFi repeater) and have an Ethernet connector.

Yes, you should be able to connect it to the Xbox via cable (ethernet cable)

Hmm what is a wifi repeater? sorry ....yes the sky q does have an ethernet connector and he asks is it is a USB connector to go on the xbox?

Thanks
