Dual Band Router Question

Hi,

I have a cable modem and I am using my Linksys WRT54G2 to connect my computer and two xbox360 with LAN cables. I want to connect my PC with the dual band router using LAN cable and I want to know if I connect the xbox360 using the other wireless channel of the router will my PC connection wil interfere with the xbox360 connection.

Any help appreciated.
 
You're asking if a LAN connection will interfere with wireless? No, it won't.

Are you connecting each 360 to separate access points? That isn't necessary, one access point can work with multiple devices at once.
 
I will be connecting my white xbox360 wired, my black wireless, I use mostly my xbox360 slim, I asked the question because with my current router if I use my PC and xbox360 slim at the same time, wired or wireless, the internet connection slows down, I want to know if with a dual band router I could run the PC connection wired and the xbox360 slim with the 802.11n wireless connection and if each connection would slow down the other.

Thanks for the reply.
 
Just note: The 360 S (new version) has integrated WI-Fi, but only 2,4GHz. However, the black wireless adapter (with two antennas) does support 5GHz
 
Dual band is not going to matter to a wired and single type of wireless band.

Dual band / dual radio is a benefit to run b/g on 2.4GHz and all your n gear on 5GHz.
 
Dual Band is a Wireless Mode consists on hardware that has dual Radio (2.4GHz and 5Ghz) that can provide higher Wireless Bandwidth (speed) when the Wireless Router is capable to do Dual Mode, and the Wireless Client has a Wireless card that can do it too.

This is a specific capacity of the Wireless part of the Router and has nothing to do with other type of wired or wireless connections to the Router.

That said the total Bandwidth of a network is affected by all the devices that are using it regardless of the mode that they are working with.

BTW, I do not know which Wireless Router you refer to but the WRT54G2 is Not a Dual Wireless Router.
