I would recommend the Asus £152.40 or the Netgear £164.99. They both support multiple xboxs just by enabling UPNP. I own 2 xbox ones and a xbox 360, they all have an open NAT. I own an Asus66r.
Also make sure to bridge your modem ( Bridging your modem turns off NAT,Firewall, DHCP and wi-fi and let's your router do all of that.)so you won't double NAT your network ( assuming you own a modem that has wi-fi capabilities). Do a Google search on how to bridge your modem, It should be under "Operation mode".
Doesn't the wireless modem have at least one ethernet port for you to plug the switch into?
I had a virgin media superhub which started shitting the bed when doing large data streaming on the wifi channels so I got one these instead which has been treating me pretty well.
Something like this?

Yep I'd go with Virgin as well. Good thing with Virgin is that you can get their TV service for only a few quid more on top of the broadband cost as well. It's not much better than FreeView but you do get a Tivo box out of it on most packages.
It's definitely by far the fastest broadband in Belfast. Upload speeds are very poor though, that's a major disadvantage. I think BT's upload speeds are better.
I'm on the 100mbps service
I would highly recommend forking out for your own router though, the stock one is rubbish. I have this one
I'm still on the SH1, I missed out on upgrading to a SH2, and now they'll only offer me a SH3 which I don't want because its terrible.
​
I use the SH1 as a modem and have a AC1900 router flashed with DDWRT, and the set up works very well. I'd assume you can put SH3 in modem only mode too.
​
I'd thoroughly recommend my router conguration.
