I currenty have cable and have a D-Link 2460R wireless router. If i want to access xbox live I have to unplug the modem from the computer and connect the xbox360. can i use the router to share my internet connection for both. im not bother about it being wireless... is it possible with an adsl router or will i have to buy a cable one?

It can be wired or wireless.
Then both the desktop and Xbox can be used.

A wired or combination wireless/wired router will work well. My son bought the wireless option for the XBOX360 and it works very well with a Belkin wireless router.

i must of not worded my question correctly.

would it be possible to connect more then one computer to an adsl router even tho i have cale broadband ?

by computechdan

not likely, most ADSL routers don't have an ethernet WAN port, which would be required to connect it to the cable modem

yer gonna have to pony up the 30 buxs or so for a cheap router, or ask around... maybe someone u know has an old wired only router layin around
