Help with XE102 and Belkin N150 Connection
I had been using a wireless DSL modem with the XE102 plugged into it for XBOX usage for quite awhile with no issues.
Today i switched over to comcast and bought a Belkin N150 router. The internet works great with the pc connected via ethernet cable, also the WIFI works fine as well. I am however having trouble getting the bridge to work with the xbox (or ps3, laptop) now. It gives the error message unable to obtain IP address from modem or router. I tried belkin customer service, but was unable to understand the person i was talking to and they referred me to netgear support. I am hoping someone can give a rookie some tips on what settings to change on the router. Thanks a million.
p.s. Sorry if this has been covered previously

- setup static IP on xbox out side the DHCP range of belkin router and see ( see belkin manual if you do not know where you will find DHCP settings)
- I tried doing that to no avail.
- Where you able to ping the router?
- Thanks for your help! I spent so much time on that belkin router and had no success. I then remembered my dad had a netgear router at his house, so i swapped him my belkin for his netgear. I just hooked up the netgear router and it was plug n play.
