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? |

According to the doc the default IP for the AP is 192.168.0.35, couldn't hit it. Even reset it to the defaults. I'll try the one you posted.
