Connecting 2 Xbox 360 on one router

I am trying to configure 2 xbox 360 consoles on one router - hard wired via a switch connected to a netgear wndr3700 router. when i originally had just one xbox connected, i forwarded the ports as directed pointing to the one ip address allocated to the console. do i need to enter a new set of port forwards for the other console? is there anything else i can do to optimize the connection? i have a decent connection through comcast (50/10). any help is greatly appreciated! thanks.

It depends how you have it set up.

You need to assign each console an IP address then allow those ports for both. Some routers make it so each IP address has to be configured individually, others allow one port setting for all IP addresses unless specified otherwise.
