Three people connected to an OFFLINE Router, Playing an LAN GAME?

I have two people coming over soon, And they are bringing their entire computer, both, and we wanted to play the latest LAN game, Left 4 Dead. We we're wondering because i'm about 65 foot away from my Internet router[that's how long the cord is]. Could we Still play a LAN game with the Offline router?

Yes, you can. I don't know if Left 4 dead need internet connection but you definitely don't need internet connection for a LAN game.





Twisted pair Ethernet (regular wired network) is supposed to work with cables up to 300 feet long, so 65 feet is not a problem.Three people connected to an OFFLINE Router, Playing an LAN GAME?
yes, in this case your router is basically acting just like a ethernet hub.





Should work just fine.
