Er I think you've done it.

The ntl gaming kit basically gives you two rather than one broadband IP address. The theory being that without your having a router, your computer can be connected and the XBox is also connected, each operating independently without affecting each other. It stops you having to unplug one to plug in another and reboot the modem each time you do so.

However I don't think you get any extra bandwidth. Thus if your PC is in use at the same time as the XBox one would affect the other, regardless of your buying the gaming kit.

The point then is why pay extra for the ntl gaming add on if you have a router? The router allows each separate device to share the connection, as you have already established, so what are you gaining other than a hole in your bank account?

Personally speaking, I think the gaming add on is a con. I wouldn't bother paying more untill ntl require you to do so, and since it will be difficult, if not impossible, for them to mionitor what you are doing behind your router, and what is connected, how are they going to know to trigger the gaiming add-on requirement.
