Hey guys,
I am currently in a dorm room and I have an ethernet jack that works (thank god). Anyway, I have a 360 hooked up to a monitor, and a laptop. The problem is, I use my laptop to stream sports, and I like to play my XBOX 360 online while watching sports. The schools wireless connection is so poor that the laptop loses signal every 5-10 minutes, so the sports stream stops. Furthermore, it's annoying constantly having to unplug the ethernet cable from my XBOX and moving it to the laptop.
I was thinking about buying a router, but I noticed switches are cheaper:

will this $8-11 device rid me of my woes, or make me wish I ate real food for 2 days instead?
