okay, here is the Conundrum i got my self into, i have to build a network from scratch. There will be 20 computers on one portion of the network, 1 server computer, 12 XBOX 360s.
Now, we are looking at getting 2 5mb down 1mb up cable lines, and interlacing them, with load balancing. We are on a limited budget.
The 20 computers and server will be running on gigabit ethernet, mainly to streamline loading images onto the computers over the network.
Possibly looking at a cisco 1841, will that give me load balancing, as well as the ability to connect to the switches properly?

The 2 dell 2724s will be for the 20 computers (and for aditiional computers during lan parties and such)
The 1 dell 2216 will be for the xboxs , they do not need gigabit.
and i am hoping this router will work, if not can anyone suggest one that will? hoping not to spend too much, but i already told them we might need to go along the lines of putting the Xboxs on a completely seperate network than the computers, just wish we could have more bandwidth for the computers and not so much for the xboxs. 5/1 is the best connection for the area of the business right now ..... any help would be apreciated.
