    Just connect them. WIred or WIreless. Refer to the MS or xbox support pages for help and information on connecting game consoles to the router.

     

    I recommend setting NAT Filter to OPEN on the XR router. Under Adavanced tab/WAN Setup. 

    Manuals are always a good place to start.
    Visit the support pages:
    Support | NETGEAR
    Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
    Begin with the Quick Start/Installation Guide.

     

     

  • They can play at the same time, that's no problem, is there something you're specifically wanting to do with them?
