...and i have a serious issue, it is probably something basic but i have no idea, anyway, i hope you can help....

basically, i am going to buy a wireless router to play xbox and basically have a simple wi-fi connection, but i heard there are two kinds of router, i plug my ethernet cable into the wall next to the telephone cable and i am unsure whether i need to get a cable router or an adsl router?

it's probably a stupid question but i am so confused haha!

PLEASE HELP I WILL BE TRUELY GREATFUL.

OK you probably need to register the router with your uni.

Get intouch with the IT department, or find someone else that has got their router up and running
