QuoteA quick fix, obviously.I can only dream of such a thing.
A quick fix, obviously.
Could the router be out of Ip's? some use limited Ip amounts.try switching all your consoles off and restarting your router.
I'm not too familiar with the home networking kits, but it's one extra step you could temporarily eliminate. Try connecting the consoles direct to the router and see if they work without you doing anything at all.By connecting it direct, you may find a root problem (if it doesn't work) or it might even solve it. Each device has a unique MAC address and routers can be clever enough to identify something that has been connected before. It may be 'confused' by the WGXB102 and be blocking it for some reason and when you connect the console direct, the router might go "hey, I remember you! Have this address."When you reconnect through the WGXB102, the router might say, "ok, it's you again. I gave you this address a minute ago; have it back". With networking it's not always switch it off and on again, it's switch it off and on again in this particular order.If you think I'm talking crap, there is a security reason. The firewall element of your router uses the MAC address to prevent cloning. Someone could clone your PC and connect through the router unchecked, so the firewall is aware (not Skynet "aware", don't worry!) by locking the IP address to the MAC and not passing it out again. It can sometimes get it's knickers in a twist and you have to hold its hand, one device at a time...

Well, you could look at your routers management page now and see what it thinks is connected. Then connect your console directly with power at least and compare the management page. And remember what I said before, it's a long shot, but simply doing that might make it work when you reconnect through the usual way...

Have fun!
