Can I connect two routers to one broadband connection? One for computers and one for xbox?

Question

Hello

I have two routers in my house. One I use all the time for internet access, connected two it is two desktop computers, a printer, scanner and a laptop wirelessly.

I also have another router. I want to use this one to connect an xbox 360 to the internet. They both work, and they can both connect to the internet, but not at the same time (if one is already connected, the other wont connect).

Is there a way I can have them both connected at the same time? I can't do this any other way.

Cheers

Answer 1

you can connect 1 router to both ur xbox and ur PC..

Answer 2

No. You can NOT connect 2 routers to the line. If you need additional connections you either need to connect a network switch and plug extra machines into it, or to add a wireless access point to get additional wireless connections. Either way they must ALL go through the same router or your connection will not work. There is NEVER no other way to connect.
