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? |

QUOTE You could also use powerline adapters. These are pretty easy, plug one into the wall next to the router, and plug the cable in. The in the basement, plug the other one in, and connect the ethernet to it. These work quite well, and are plenty fast. I used this method and plugged another wireless router down stairs, the two were far enough appart that they didn't interfer with eachother. They both work fine with no modifications other than the powerline adapter is a bit slower! |
