Ok, so I have alot of devices that need to connect to the internet in my home, some wireless, some wired and I thought I had it all covered until I recently decided to "hardwire" the xbox360 in the living room as the wireless kept dropping out.
I already use home plugs (tplink tlpa201) and had one in the living room which was feeding my bluray player.
I purchased an ethernet switch (addon10/100M Fast ethernet switch) to split out the signal from the homeplug to "feed" my xbox, ps3, bluray player and sky hd box.
Everything's working apart from the xbox which just doesn't want to configure! It recognises the wired connection but the ip and dns etc just doesnt want to know. I went back to wireless and copied all the numbers down then manually entered them for the wired connection. Still no joy!
Ive even assaigned a fixed ip for the xbox in the router setttings. Still no joy!
If I connect the xbox directly to the homeplug it works no problem so I know its a switch issue. Do I need a special type for the xbox?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
