Well, I think DV may know about me asking if I could only use my Xbox 360 and my computer and have them both online at the same time with only a modem. Turns out I needed a router. Well, I went to the store and bought something, but I don't know if it is the proper item or not. Here is the item:

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Netgear-5-P...roductDetail.do

When I looked on the box, and I saw the "Connects to Game Console", and saw the picture of a 360 next to an Ethernet port, I bought it straight away, as it was only $40(didn't buy it at Circut City). I got it home...and now I don't think I got the right thing.

Give me some hints on what I should do please.

:( You got the 6,000th post. And all this time I have been planning to be the one.

As to your question if you didn’t get what you thought you where paying for, you should probably take it back.

Ah, what you were looking for is a WiFi Router. I've been meaning to get one more some time. I can tell you a few things about what I know on this subject. Basically a WiFi router basically takes the internet from a cord (phone line, etc.) and blasts it out as a signal into an area. So other computers or devices (like a PSP or Xbox 360) can hook up onto the internet. Looking at the device you bought, it looks like this just takes one ethernet cable (phone line, etc.) and allows you to hook up to 5 more from it. It's kind of like a surge protecter, and how it allows you to turn 1 outlet into 6 or more.
Mine you I may be wrong, had to write this quickly. :unsure:

Well, I went out, and bought the right thing for a couple bucks more. Only thing was, when I got it home, something wasn't working properly, and I needed to call their Customer Service(And of course, every time you want to make a call to one of these places, you usually either get A.)-halfway across the USA, or B.) in the Far East).

*puts on his Indian(As in far-Eastern Indian) accent*This is the Netgear claims service; how may I be helping you?
