I've got an Xbox and a PC (obviously) but i want a router so i can go on both at the same time. Does anyone know where i can get one from for £20 or less?
Can you also use a switch or hub?

Probably wont be out til the end of the year. If you need money then get a summer job or weekend job and also cut back on stupid things you might buy like junk food or whatever.

Yep thats right and it is a bogger to upgrade, thats why im thinking of getting that PC from SR for £399. I should have enough money by about August, but then i'll have no money to get the things that i HAVE to get to survive in this cruel world :
PES4
CM5
Xbox 2/PS3/Gamecube 2 one of them not all of them.

To be honest Stridman I dont think you have a hope in chance of doing what you want as I dont think you can use USB and ethernet at the same time with any modem or router. Is there any chance of getting a new computer to replace the all in one jobby you have?

Are you saiying that it'll be better for me to use an ethernet cable to connect to the internet because i can do that as i have a spare ethernet cable. You probably already know but im coputer illiterate (if thats what i think it means) and i only know the basics of computers eg. HTML, UBBCode and other basic stuff like that. I probably wont get a router in that case, i only wanted to get one because my dad always tells me to get off of Live when he needs to get on the internet and its bugging. Im gonna try using my broadband through an ethernet cable, something tells me it wont owrk but i'll give it a try.

My NTL cable modem comes with both connections on it.

I'm fairly certain he is on ADSL, because I've never known a cable connection to come with a USB modem.
I posted a link to a cheap 4 port router on Ebuyer on his other thread in the Xbox forum. £35.
Really Stridman, when you are using Xbox Live, you don't want to use the internet anyway, because if you use it for anything more than light surfing, you will end up slowing down Live because the PC uses some of its bandwidth.
