Hi,,, Looking for adsl router modem and a switch to connect 4 computer, 2 laptops, Xbox360 and a playstation 3. Not sure which is the best way to do this but i want 4 computers and game consoles on a wired connection. Been looking at these router and this switch (below), is this the best way for me to get them all connected? as i know you can have a router with more ports to leave the switch out. I play games online, on a local network and share files from computer to computer. Thats why i want to keep the wired connection but want a wireless connection for the laptops. Looking for something that will be fast and be online 24/7 almost.
Running a mix of XP Pro and Vista

Would like the router to have a built in hardware Firewall. Also if possible but not important somthing that supports more than 20 ports as my old router only supports 20 and i find that a pain.
4 computer, 2 laptops, Xbox360 and a playstation 3 will be online all the same time often
found another 3 but i think the Netgear one is a bit low on tranfer speed
