I would be prepared not to have pc on when both xboxes are on. What does everyone think should I go for it?
Can you recommend what router I would need?
Thanks

The Linksys BEFSR41 is a good & easy to set-up router, & also very cheap.
e.g.
BEFSR41 at Amazon.co.uk - £32.74
If you get a router, you'd need to get a network card for your PC (unless it already has one), as it connects to the PC via ethernet not USB.
You should be able to use both XBoxes online with a router. But, if you really wanted to use two XBoxes at the same time, it would probably be best if you had the 1meg service rather than the 600k service, as the 1meg has a higher upload speed.
If you get a router, you'll no longer need the £5/month (soon to be £2/month apparently) NTL XBox service at all.
Also, have a look (if you haven't already) at this link Neil posted earlier in this thread:
