Yes. You should have some sort of Broadband Modem which transfers the direct internet signal from Orange into internet data which your computer can use.
You should be able to plug a wireless router directly the modem or you can use the wireless router "as" a modem itself.

Routers are made to connect to broadband

So connect the Wireless router as you are supposed to indicated by the instructions.

For your xbox you will need a wifi adapter made for xbox

Yes, and this is a very simple and easy process. First of all you should have a broadband router. This will be something in the area of your computer or phone. It will be a little box with lots of blinking lights.

Next, you will need a wireless router. Just buy a basic cheap one if you are in a small home or apartment and don’t need signal upto about 500ft. away.

How To Plug It In:
1. Find the back of you modem
2. Look for the cable (ethernet) that is labeled "OUTPUT"
3. Plug that into the "INPUT" on your router
4. Now, your router will come with in instructions for router configuration and you can follow those easily.

**WARNING**
You might need to install a disc before you can set up your router. MAKE SURE TO READ THE BOX!!
