running 2 x boxes

soccermom

We are looking at getting our son an x box. We already have 1 x box running in our house and it runs of our sky router broadband.

Will the additional x box run ok and will they be able to connect to live at the same time or will we need additional hardware.

I am not very techie minded so non gobbledegook answers would be much appreciated

Thank you

It'll be fine. We have 2 Xboxes that both connect to Live at the same time via Sky broadband without a problem.

I have a ps3 and xbox both work connected at same time , someone at work has 3 xboxes and they all work at same time .

Thats great would I need to get a wireless adapter as one xbox is plugged into the router or do they run wireless like a laptop.

Sorry for my ignorance.

I believe newer Xboxes have the wireless built in like a laptop. Older ones need a separate wireless adapter.

You can buy the wireless adapter for the "old" xbox.

Just make sure you have a good router with uPnP support. If its only a couple of years old then you should be fine.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_hardware#Networking the Jasper won't have it buiilt-in. Only the Slim which was released 12 months ago has it built in.
