On the basis of the Gadget Shows review & wanting to replace my Linksys router i've bought a DLink DIR-825 Quad Band router. Set it up last night and everything can connect wirelessly to it apart from my XBox 360 which is using the official Microsoft adapter.
The 360 can see both SSIDs, the 5GHz 802.11a/n and the 2.4GHz 802.11g/n and will connect to either of them but wont lease an IP address. I've tried setting the IP address manually but when i run a network test it says i'm not connected. Immediately i pulled the DLink out and put the Linksys WAG354G back in again and the 360 connected to it straight away, so its definately an issue with the DLink. My wifes MSI Wind can connect to the DLink no problem as does both our Sony C905 mobile phones so the wireless does work.
I'm a network engineer so this is my bread n butter but its got me puzzled, i've tried playing around with channels, etc but nothing seems to work.
Any ideas? anyone got one of the 825's and have it working with their 360 wirelessly?
