Router help

[toythatkills]

Sorry for starting a thread that's probably been started in various guises 1348 times already! Anyway, I was thinking of getting this and wondered if anyone had one and how easy it is to open port ranges. Or indeed if it's even possible, since it's not on my current router.

Also, a ridiculously n00by question, I can still connect stuff to it non wirelessly, right? Xbox, etc?

you should be able to as it states it has a 4 port switch built in to the unit

They don't list that exact model but it should be very similar I'd have thought.

Any router worth it's salt should do port forwarding. Anyway, you can download the manual here and check before you buy.

My router does it, but seems to have a limit of 20. And doesn't do port ranges.

Cheers for that link, I was looking for a manual on their site for ages yesterday!

Sorry to hijack, but didnt want to start another Router thread either!

Just need a really quick bit of advice. Have a blueyonder connection and want a ruoter so i can use the PC and Xbox Live at the same time. Woud either of these 2 be ok?

Just want a cheap one really thats going to be easy to set up and use, and is compatible with Live (they dont have the list of routers that work on the Xbox website anymore for some reason).

Cheers in advance
