Why worry about the router instead of the Xbox? Can you connect any
other computer/device to the C7000 using an Ethernet cable? Or anything
at all?
Any interesting LED indicators (like, say, LAN port status) on the
C7000?

Other than connecting the cable between a LAN port on the router and
the Xbox? Read the Xbox instructions?

Enabling access control could only inhibit a connection, not enable
one.

Not a very detailed description of anything.

I have connected to my old gateway supplied by xfinity before and never had issues. This is clearly a gateway issue with Netgear.
My PC connects just fine via ethernet port.
My gateway gives out an ember colored light every so often on the port that my xbox is connected to but does not stay solid for more than a second.
I dont know if I set up the ports recommended by Xbox support correctly or if theyre even being used effectivley.
On the LAN side of things I just sort of clicked around and didnt know what I was doing honestly..
Any info helps really..
