box2 is in the same room as the xbox and quite close to it. I don't need an extra switch to connect the xbox (or anything else) to the router as it has enough ports, but I would need about 20 metres of cable. I am not bothered about both xbox and box 2 accessing the net at the same time, or about needing box 2 powered up whilst the xbox is online.
