The is only one option out of the 2 above that will not loose you money, the router option.

The are 6 wireless routers listed on this PC World link below priced at £29.99 with a minimum 12 months guarantee.

Try and get one in a normal residential property
It wont matter wether i have the best router and a million ports if the speed isnt enough then surely thats not the issue.
For the record though i do have the 20mb line to a 4 port router. 1 port for 1 xbox downstairs, 2nd port to a pc downstairs and another port that goes to a network plug that send the signals through my house wiring system. The kids have a plug each upstairs and use them between xbox's and pc's. Like i said originally 4 xbox's and 5 pc's. Obviously they are not all on all of the time. But its not uncommon to have 3 xbox's and a pc or 2 on at 1 time.
The network plugs helped greatly as the wireless just were terrible.
