I bought a router and the brand is belkin but i live in bellerbys college and i bought the internet from there and i get an ethernet cable connection from the room wall(socket).
It works when i connect the cable to my laptop but when i connect it to anything else like my router or my xbox360 i cant connect cause the internet wont transfer but it does transfer when i connect it to my laptop but nothing else please help.
Thank you
 
The router is made to be used when connected directly to a modem, the cable you get from the wall is already connected to a router, so you have a router connected to another router which does not work unless you do some changes to your router. You can get a regular switch and try that, but check with the school if that is allowed. If not, they may have ways of tracking it and asking you to remove it.
