![]() ![]() Well my question then is why does my computer pull an ip fine, and my router, but my xbox won't. The modem merely converts the coax signal from COX to something the router can use. Serve up internal IP addresses, and route traffic. Or get a new one.īut the router does what a router does. Well.you could live with the 10/100 limitations of that router. I could, but I really don't feel like spending more money then I have to, is there really no solution? If you have a 150Mbit line from COX, don't cheap out. I can not have the router before the switch because it will downgrade my speeds to 100 meg. Remember though, I need my computer to have gigabit speeds, I don't care about the Xbox 360 because I dont even think it has a gigabit port. ip on my computer, but is there a way to get my router to see my computer? I saw this setting for a static route, and tried entering my computer information into the static route setting in my router, but it says the ip address and subnet does not match, (BUT I put in the exact ip settings my computer has.) So my other Idea was to go from the router to the powerline adapter to the Xbox WHICH works, the xbox gets online and everthing, but now it can't see my computer which is on the switch. Now I'm not a Network Guru so could this be because i can only get 2 assigned ip or some limitation from cox? I don't know. But for some reason, My xbox will not get a ip assigned from the switch even though my computer automatically pulled one and my router pulled one. I bought a powerline adapter to run from my switch to my Xbox 360. I am receiving 150Mbps from COX, so the regular 10/100 port on that router was not providing me full bandwidth. You are probably asking yourself, hey why do that why not the router first? Well that is because though I have a dual band N wireless router, it is 2 years old and doesn't have a gigabit port. From the single WAN port on that, I have it going into a Netgear GIGABIT Switch, and from my switch on another port I have it going into the WAN port on my wireless router. I have a DOCSIS 3 modem, with COX internet. So this is my setup and it is working, EXCEPT that my xbox 360 is online, but can't see my computer that has all the HD content. I originally wanted to do it wireless, but have found out that it is impossible without buffering. I have been trying to stream HD content on my network and seriously have spent numerous hours trying to find the best way. ![]()
