I've checked around and haven't been able to find to much. Basically between me, my roommate, and my brother we have 2 XBox 360's and 2 Laptops. Is there a way to have them all be connected to the internet at the same time from one wireless router? I know this may slow down some of the connections, but that is fine. Usually we can get 2 of the items running off the modem no problem, and sometimes we can get 3 connected, but it will never let all 4. Is there any possible way to do this?

If all 4 systems have wireless adapters, either internal or external, there's no reason they shouldn't all be able to connect to the wireless router. We have a wireless router at my house and the connection is shared by:

2 Wiis
2 Laptops
1 XBox 360
1 iPhone
2 Nintendo DS Lites
1 Nintendo DSi
2 PCs

And we never have any major problems.

Damn! That sucks. I forgot I also do have a Wii and an iPhone set up to it, but they all do have wireless adapters. An example of it happening was today when I came home from work there was 2 Xbox 360's playing online and a laptop using the internet. I turned on my laptop and it says I am connected, but it isn't showing my signal strength at all and nothing is working. As if I am not connected to the internet. One of the XBox 360's signed off of the internet and my laptop immediately showed signal strength as high as it could go and worked fine, but when my buddy tried to connect the 360 to the internet again, it wouldn't connect and said there was an error. We haven't been able to have both 360's, and both laptops connected and working fine once, which is starting to become a problem.

Who's your ISP? They might be restricting the amount of devices that can connect at once...

It could just be that the bandwidth is not enough for all the devices to be used at the same time

Maybe your wireless router is shitty?
