need help with cabling

hi

i currently have a extension cable from the main socket to my router in my bedroom, the ozenda router in my bedroom has 3 network cables in it 1 to PC 1 to xbox for ftping files to old xbox and the 3rd one to my 360 for xbox live.

i have been in touch with my isp zen and they suggested putting the router next to the master socket and then using network cable up to my room, what about my 2 xboxes how will i connect them to the router other then getting 2 more cables trailing upstairs

Put a Network Switch in your bedroom ....

.... and if you use mains networking you can add computers anywhere in the house.. (garage, shed, etc).

cheers

dont know where to start with mains networking,

Something like the Netgear XE102 or for faster connections and more computers, Netgear XE104 with one plugged into the mains near your router and one in the room with your computers

The 104 has a built in 4 port switch.

Devolo and others make similar units.

so will the xe104 be fast enough at 85Mbps

For Internet use, Yes.

Your ADSL connection is probably "up to 8Mbps", so will not even get close to keeping an XE104 busy.

The XE102 or slower Devolo will also be fine (unless you want to do lots of file transfers or streaming video within the house).
