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? |

Just some other thoughts.
Perhaps the cable between the switch and and the G820 is not correct? Do you have link indicators on your switch port that light when the G820 is connected? Does either device ever work when individually hooked up to the G820 via the switch vs directly connected to the G820? Another thing can be a bridging protocol error between the G820 and the switch. Does the switch have an "uplink" LAN port? Some switches/bridges don't like to bridge multiple MAC addresses out to a single port. If you have an uplink port on your switch, try connecting that port to your G820. Which switch do you have? Do you have a vendor/model # for it? --- bill |
