Hey guys, I'm a newbie

As you can see, I've been trying to setup this TP Link WA500G for my xbox. I'm trying to connect the AP to a D Link DSL 2680, so that I can play wirelessly on my xbox. It worked perfectly when I plugged it straight into my router using an ethernet cable, but I just don't seem able to set the AP up properly. Can anyone give me a Step by Step? Thanks.

How do you currently have everything set up?

Hi, shane. I currently have my router(D Link DSL 2680) in my living room, and my TP Link WA500G 3 floors up in my room. I'm trying to use the AP in client mode with my xbox connected to it with an ethernet cable, but it just isn't working.

Is the TP Link able to get a wireless connection from the D-Link, or do you have a network cable running to it?

Well, the I have set the TP Link up to connect with my D Link, and it shows that it is sending and receiving packets to and from my network, but I still have no internet connection. I was also thinking if I have to enter my network password into the AP somehow..

The TP Link wont work right if it doesn't have the password for the wireless

Get the password set in the tp link and I think you will start working.

That's what I was thinking, but I just don't seem to be able to find the place to input the password. I can access the web configuration but can't find where to enter my network password :S

It should be in the same place where you put in the wireless name for it to connect to.

Post a screen shot if you can

Hey here the screenies.

OK the last picture is the one, on wireless security. That should be the same password setup as the wireless down stairs.
