Any Network troubleshooters out there?

[NewsBot]

If anyone can solve what my (network) problem is, I'll name a machine in my workgroup (or my smartphone) after their C9 screenname.. :)

 

I'm having trouble with my XBox 360 media center extender connecting to my PC. Namely, it's a poor network connectivity, according to the Tune Network Wizard. Here's the setup:

 

* Dell XPS, hardwired, to the router in the basement.

* XBox 360, wireless running 802.11G, 2nd floor.

* Router almost directly below the XBox 360. It is 802.11n. Latest firmware was applied.

* Two other PCs connect the router. Uncertain of protocol.

* Older house: top-of-the line plaster job, although the basement has drywall.

* The Xbox 360 has no trouble getting to XBox live.

 

Here's the kicker - a week ago, my signal was almost in the optimum HDTV range. yesterday, it dropped to sub-TV signal. To my knowledge, nothing has changed.. (Obviously, something did).

 

I have already tried to rebooting the Dell and router, to no avail.*

 

At this point, I'm almost ready to drop a*cable down the back of the house in order to hard-wire things..*

 

Any clues? Anything to else to look for?
