Can I Receive Streaming Video With This Setup?

[MarkTwain]

I subscribe to cable internet and want to set up streaming video capability in my apartment, hopefully with certain in-place components. (I have a pretty tight budget). Here is my setup:

I have a cable internet drop via a Zoom cable modem in my bedroom, connected to my desktop PC, running under Windows 7. The cable internet service has a capability of 25 Mbps, with 2.2 Mbps upload speed. I will hook up a Tenda Dual Band N600 Gigabit Wireless Router to the Zoom cable modem...

But, I don't want to view movies on my PC in the bedroom!

In the living room, I have an XBox 360, 60 GB HDD, Mfr. date 5/12/2009, hooked up to a 23-inch Auria HDMI Model EQ236 LCD Monitor. I want to watch the streaming video in the living room, on the Auria LCD Monitor, via the XBox 360. I prefer not to activate a living room cable drop, as that'd be an extra monthly charge.

I know I'll have to adapt the Auria Monitor with a TV tuner box. I assume the XBox 360 has wireless capability. (I also have a laptop with wireless capability, if needed...)

Thanks for any feedback!

Can you drop an Ethernet cable from the bedroom to the living room?

That would be problematic, as the cable would have to snake very awkwardly about twenty feet, from the bedroom, thru the kitchen and into the living room...

I recommend these They are as easy to set up as plugging in a lamp. All you do it plug one into the wall (not a surge protector or power strip) next to your modem and plug it into your modem and then plug the other device into the wall behind the TV in the living room and use an Ethernet cable to plug in the devices you need. I currently have four in my house. One at the modem, one in my bedroom (with a computer, xbox 360, Direct TV DVR and a wireless modem), one behind our media center in our living room (with a Direct TV DVR and an xbox 360 plugged in), and one in my parents bedroom (plugged into another DVR and a Blu-ray settop box) and they can stream Netflix, HBO Go, Amazon Prime and Crackle just fine.

There are other brands of powerline adapters, but I have only used the WD ones so they are the only ones I recommend because I have been using them for almost two years without fault, in fact I sold the wireless adapter for my Xbox because these work so well.

Thanks, JN - I'll check this device out further....
