Buying a Router. Don't have a clue!

Starzy · 27 Nov 2006 at 13:31

Hey all,

Been meaning to ask this for ages. I'm looking for a Router that will split my connection between my PC and my xbox 360, looking to spend around £80 maybe more if need be. I just don't have a clue.... :eek:

Can anyone help.

Thanks
Chris

Wired or wireless? Cable or ADSL?

Cable with Blueyonder 10mb...

Um which ever one is more stable tbh. Dont mind. Wired may be best.

Wired would definatly be best if its available to you, cant beat it for performance and reliability.

Something like this would do the trick if your after something that will just do the job without doing anything fancy.

Looks good, good price aswell. Like I said it's only for my connection to my PC and 360.

One question say when I'm on my PC and not on my 360 will all the connection go to the PC or will it still stay spilt?

Look's like I may just go for that then, if I order today do you think I will get it tomorrow because I'm off work. I know Overclockers are usually really good just wondering when the cut-off time is..

Thanks for this mate.

It splits the connection so you can use both at once if you wanted to. Your not restricted in anyway.

If you ordered now and its in stock you would definatly have it tommorow from my experience.

Do i need anymore ethernet cables at all mate? I have one now for my pc & one for my 360 so will I need one more for the Modem to the Router?

If so do overclocks stock them?

Thanks for your help btw your a legend

Looking at mine, your need one cable from your router to your Xbox, one cable going from your router to your PC and one cable connecting your router to your cable modem. Its simple to set up, should work straight out of the box.

Overclockers have 9 in stock according to the website so if you order before 4pm or so you should get it tommorow.

And no problem for the help!

Just ordered it, put the delivery date as tomorrow so fingers crossed. Got myself a nice new ethernet cable to go with it.

Will let you know how I get on tomorrow.

Thanks again
