I have a wireless network in my house, works great. My son has moved to our basement, two floors down from where the my router is, so don't want to run a cable. I picked up an access point, thinking I could attach a switch to it so multiple devices can connect. I want to connect his xBox and PC. Apparently, it's only possible to connect one device directly to the AP, the switch doesn't work.
The access point works fine on the xBox. Any ideas on a simple solution? |

I prefer cabling also, but want to avoid running them to the basement out of blatant laziness. I'm thinking the simplest solution maybe to get a wireless adapter for the PC, the sexBox is already working.
Here is the attempted setup. Attached image(s)

QUOTE(blitZ @ Jan 3 2008, 01:55 PM)  Here is the attempted setup. DGL 4300 -> set DHCP range and leave a block of internal static IPs DWL G820 -> set static IP on WAN matching an IP on the DGL 4300 static IPs block DWL G820 -> set DHCP range using a different IP network than the DHCP on DGL 4300 Switch -> plug into DWL G820 using a uplink cable PC -> plug into switch, set PC to DHCP xBox -> plug into switch, set xBox to DHCP (do they support DHCP? dunno squat about xBox) that should work just fine ...
