Is there a way to use 2 devices using 1 Ethernet port on a router.?
Ok we're a big family and all the Ethernet ports on our virgin super hub (router) are taken and I'm sick of using wireless for my pc because it has trouble with port forwarding and just in general wireless is not good for me and im not paying £999 for a microsoft xbox360 wireless (i need my pc AND xbox 360 wired). - So is there any way to 'split' a port with a splitter? And have both my xbox 360 and desktop pc using internet over the same port in the router?
Additional info: PC and Xbox 360 both have Ethernet ports and our home internet speed is 60mbps.

you just need a Internet Network Splitter. you plug a internet cabel from your router into the splitter and you will need to buy 2 more to go from the spliter to you computer and you xbox to your splitter.

You talk of a instant router yet distinctive LAN ports. maximum instant routers have 4 under pressure LAN ports and can help muptiple instant connections. they are going to enable sharing from one gadget to the subsequent if a house community is desperate up on them the two from the under pressure and instant ports. I truthfully have had large success with the WRT54G. If using instant, set up risk-free practices, set to channel 11 turn off the SSID and alter the login password. which will shield any risk-free practices subject concerns and removes interference via basic instant units.

That splitter thing won't work for Ethernet.
You must have a switch/hub.
