I just got a Netgear router for our house and i just have a couple of questions about the router setup and such.
Right now i have a linksys USB network adapter for my upstairs computer which will have internet. I was wondering if using a USB device would be safe enough or would it burn up or something if i had it on almost all the time? Or should i look for an actual card to install in my computer?

second i also have the router hooked up to an Xbox 360 for Xbox live. I played it before and now i'm haveing very bad lag. Is there any way to get rid of this lag that won't hurt any software hardware, and wouldn't cost a lot?

thanks

have you checked the network status on the 360 to make sure it doesn't show your NAT as strict?
Also have you opened the Xbox Live ports on your router (port forwarding)?
