Laptop/360 Bridging

i want to play halo 3 on my hd tv but its no where near my router. My laptop has wireless mobility so i set up a network bridge between my xbox and my laptop (im basically using my laptop as a mobile router). I got it working and its not laggy at all until i play a game. I gets extremely laggy, i dont even respawn for like 4 minutes. I wanted to know if theres a way i can set my bridge so my xbox gets a large amount of bandwidth, or any other way to make it not laggy.

Buy a 50 foot Ethernet cable. They're $20, and if it's a problem, that's a small cost. Plus, a 50ft cable comes in handy for LAN parties.

idk id need to drill holes through several walls and somehow run it through the floor. Id just get a wreless ethernet card. I just think there might be a way to get my bridge to work a little better

Buy a wireless adapter for your 360.

Uh, run it along the floor when you need to use your 360...
That's what I do and it works fine.

Id just get wireless card but i have a laptop/360 bridge and i dont know to much about bridged connections. I dont want to go and buy anything right now i just want to see if theres a way to give my xbox more bandwidth.

Is there any other wireless adapter that will work on the 360 besides the microsoft overpriced ($100) one?

Yes yes, I know this is a bad bump but I may have a solution to your problem if you have not solved it yet. It is a tutorial on connecting your Xbox to the internet through your laptops wireless connection. http://www.instructables.com/id/Use-you ... less-adap/
