hello everyone I have a question, I have a PS3, Xbox 360 Blu-Ray along with my computer and I want to set them up where I don't have to keep plugging and unplugging the ethernet cords, so what I want to know is what do I need to accomplish this?

Buy a router. Go with Linksys or D-Link. You plug the Modem in to the Router, and then your computer, PS3, 360, etc. into the router. Everything stays on simultaneously.

anybody heard of a brand named Dynex? That's Best Buy's brand. I have no experience with their routers but there's nothing inherently wrong with the other stuff they make. If you can afford Linksys or D-Link, get one of those.

I can get a D-Link EBR-2310 Ethernet Broadband Router on amazon new for $20.22 plus shipping, is that a good deal? Also i have a 360, PS3, and Blu-Ray Player that can get online along with my PC so how many ports do i need the router to have cause I know there has to be a connection from the modem to the router so that takes one port so wouldn't I need 4 more ports on it?

Typically a 4-port router is the modem port plus an additional 4, and according to the picture on the D-Link site, that's the case. You'd plug your modem into the Internet port, and then your 4 devices into each of the LAN ports. $20 for a 4-port router is not a bad deal.

I would go with Linksys, I've had it for 5 years and it works well.
