I am having a weird scenario. I am an IT professional but for some reason can't figure this one out.
I have a Motorola cable modem, hooked up to a tplink wireless router. Everything is open besides the wireless security of course. So no protocols or packets are being blocked from my end.
If I plug a laptop into the ethernet connection all is great. If I plug my xbox 360 or bluray player into the same ethernet connection it will not pull an IP address. Everything is set for dhcp, and the tplink wireless router is the dhcp server. My tplink wireless router shows activity on the port, but the devices will not connect properly.
I thought it was a bad terminal, however I just cutoff the old and terminated the cable again with the same results.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking it may be my ISP but am not sure they would limit specific devices? Am i missing something here?
