Hi, I've been thinking about getting a internet usb card to connect to xbox live.
Reason: My school has set their MTU settings too low to connect to live. I believe they use a router to distribute internet throughout the building, which we use through Ethernet ports. I currently have a router in my room so i can connect to my laptop wireless, but im still unable to connect that way either for the same reason.(even when i change the MTU on my router which is already defaulted at 1500)
So recently I figured, what if I use a internet usb card, i did a little research on them to see how they work and if they could connect. Alot of it was people asking if they could connect directly to there xbox, other times i got some yes and no's. Alot of it confused me. See what im planning to do is.....plug the usb into my laptop to gain access to the internet , use a Ethernet cable to connect my laptop and xbox to access live.
If this is possible, could you guys tell me wats the best provider to go with for a decent price?
I read somewhere you can put gigs on the usb card, like for $50 you get 20gb or something like that. Like if Im using this just to connect to live will i have good connection? How much gig will i be using as im on live( i b on alot)
If anyone else is using this method, i would appreciate answers/advice
-thanks
