  • how do you get it to generate another code i already have my media center set up but i dont remember my code so i cant use the extender.

  • @neXX217

    You need to go into the computers section and disconnect from all computers.

    Then when youg go back in to set up the extender, it will generate a new code for you.

    If you'd like we can make a quick tutorial video if you're having trouble with it.

  • mine cant find my 360?

  • @xAsilverbulletx

    The 360 is a little bit temperamental when it comes to this setup. You have to make sure that it is on the same network setup.

    For instance, our setup here is that we have mix of wired and wireless networks and I had a heck of a time getting the 360 to recognize my machines in that environment.

    I hooked the laptop directly to the switch that the 360 is on and it recognized it immediately.

    This will be especially true if you have a wireless repeater or "range extender"

  • Cant do it it says my routeur can't handle this

  • lol alright after much frustration i went and bought a new router thats wireless and it worked finnally i guess different ports made the difference the other was a netgear also but wasnt up to the job im glad its fixed because i dont think my blood pressure could take much more suffering, i just hope it stays fixed for my sanity's sake.

  • 20 hours later it says it cant find my extender so im guessing its my netgear 5 port router thats got a firewall issue god i hate this thing lol
