Cable Forum - View Single Post - Connecting 2 x boxes to Live at same time

I use my PC and both Xboxes on the 600k service, active hub connected to the Ntl cable modem, swapping out the PC lead and 1 of the Xboxes when necessary (so 2 devices are always online). I pay the extra ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£5 a month. Everything works fine, although can only host up to about 6 players on R6 and can't play Topspin at all - far too laggy.

Got some Qs for you connection experts:
- do I actually need to be paying the extra ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£5?
- I have a Linksys wireless router and access point. I suppose I should be using them but am scared I'm going to knock out the connection somehow and be left with nothing working! Any advice?
- am I doing something wrong that, if corrected, will reduce my lag problems with games like Top Spin?
