Janwarrior Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I have just recently obtained myself a brand new desktop computer, and as you might be aware of, that sort of stuff does not contain a wifi device! I earlier on bought a Globe T@ttoo wifi device, in which I have a certain HomeGroup issue with, so - in order to sort/iron that out, I got myself a Linksys AE2500 wifi device as well! After quite a bit of hard "try & failure" research I found out that this one does NOT permit me to run multibox! The Globe T@ttoo on the other hand manage this quite fine... Any ideas/advice in order how to fix this? Regards, Proconsul Janwarrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp [LDEV] Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hello Jan, Are you confirming that if you remove the Linksys device and connect one computer directly to the internet you do not have this issue? If so, my first thought would be a port forwarding issue but without understanding your network configuration that would be very hard to confirm for you.

Janwarrior Posted September 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 If I use the Globe T@ttoo wifi device I don't have this issue at all, so I assume that the Linksys EA2500 wifi device ain't able to multibox! I can log in with one account, but if I try to log in with more than on, at least one of them then get(s) logged out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp [LDEV] Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 so, on the secondary client, what's the local IP set to when you try to launch it? Is it the same? If so, this is probably what's killing your original connection. The router would kill the connection to the first client when the second one connected with the same local IP behind your router.

Janwarrior Posted September 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 True enough, but nevertheless that happens on both the devices - that is - the same IP address! I will try to look a bit closer when the weekend is over, as the Internet speed is terrible right now! *Edit*: I have tried to look at both the wifi adapters, but the parameters are so different, that my be the Linksys one cannot manage Multibox?

Janwarrior Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I am now running only using the Linksys device, to run two WiFi devices caused the pain! Also I had to set monitor 1 as main monitor, to be able to run more than one client at a time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
