mn-740 and multiple devices

[Ace]

I tried to bridge multiple devices using the mn-740. I
have the wireless adapter hooked up to a hub, and xbox and
a computer hooked up to the hub. I can use either the xbox
or the computer by themselves, but if I try to use them
both at the same time, everything stops working. Is there
a way to use the mn-740 in such a way? Also, is there a
way to configure the adapter from a computer once the
initial setup has taken place?

The MN740 can only be configured with the xbox.

Recommend you try a switch in place of the hub.

Using a netgear 5 port switch. Does the same thing. Is
this a limitation of the xbox adapter?

No a Switch recognizes the MAC address the a packet is being sent to &
only sends that packet to the port that has that MAC address on it. A
hub is really stupid as it will just send the data to every port no
matter what. Thus a hub wastes bandwidth while a switch saves it. Now
you know the difference.

Using a switch. FS105. Still only works with one device
at a time. Is this a limitation of the mn-740?
