Router question

Is it possible to get a router that offers 2 outgoing wired connections and two outgoing wifi connections? I have a PC and I'm thinking about getting a 360, which would also used wired, but I also have a Wii and DS for wifi.

    Yes. Almost any wireless router.

    Do you mean "can I connect my PC, 360, Wii and DS to the same router, and have them all share an internet connection?" If so, yes.

    I'm not sure what you mean by outgoing connections. If you mean you want seperate internet-side (as opposed to local) IP addresses for all your stuff you'll have to talk to your ISP.

    Yeah, this shouldn't be a problem. More than one computer/device can connect to one wireless connection; it's not like the wired jacks that only go to one device.

    Alright, cool, I was just wondering because I wasn't sure how many wired connection spots wifi routers had.

    Now I just hope Gamestop will let me take this shitty WifiMAX dongle back because it was $40 and rarely works on my Wii or DS.

    That depends on the one you buy. A router will generally have four, but you should check. I think I have seen models which have no wired connections, and are just wireless.
