I have a home network I am trying to fix. Currently in he house we have all going through one Eircom Netopia router:
2 Laptops (wireless)

PCs (wired)

xbox360s (wired and in the same room)

One xbox is currently connected to a PC through a bridged wired connection.

The current problem with this is that one of the xboxs has an IP passthrough (non-bridged) active as adding NAT settings for each game is a pain in the ass. Is it possible to add a second IP passthrough for the second xbox as I cannot figure it out.

Failing this, I am prepared to rework the current network. I have a ZyXEL P-660HW-T1 v3 which I got from Eircom in another house. I have been trying to change it to client mode and use it as a repeater in the same room as the PC and two xboxs, cant seem to do it. Have you any suggestions?
