Hello,

I'm trying to get my xbox online via a MNWAPB. I have a Netgear WGT624 router, however it has DHCP disabled as it's connected to another router (the wireless router is basically acting as an access point), and the MNWAPB is in Station-Infrastructure mode.

While I can get a computer online with the MNWAPB and a crossover cable, the Xbox will not connect to Xbox Live. When in the "Advanced" tab in the xbox's settings, when I select "wireless" a message comes up saying that the access point could not be detected. Another thing I've noticed is that the WLAN light on the MNWAPB continually flashes, with or without any activity on the network. Is this normal? Any ideas how to get it working?

Thanks.

To connect via WLAN from the Netgear to the MNWAPB you will need to be able to put both units into WDS or Bridge mode.

WDS is probably the better option.

The problem is, does the Netgear model you have support WDS Wireless Mode?

Also the MNWAPB usually has the WLAN light flashing when it detects another WLAN network in it's proximity.

Check the specs on the Netgear.

Am I right in thinking that using station-infrastructure mode would work if the wireless router was the dhcp server? I reconfigured the network so that the wireless router is the dhcp server but the xbox still can't connect. Once again the access point works fine on the computer, it displays as connected, but the xbox will not connect to it. Can I get a brief step-by-step guide at all?

Thanks.

If you are able to get a PC working that is plugged into the MNWAPB then the actual device is configured and working fine. It doesn't matter where your DHCP server lies, it makes no difference. Double-check you have the latest firmware on the MNWAPB.

Also, there should be no reason you have to select "wireless" in the Xbox - it won't be able to tell the difference. Configure it as if you were just hard wired to a router.
