Need help or suggestions!l
I have Directv, through AT&T. I also receive internet with Cox Communications, using an Arris Modem receiving wireless signal by using an Airport Extreme. All of my nodes (iPhones, Macs, PC's, my two apple TV's) receive a wireless signal and work great.
The Directv receiver is connected directly with coaxile cord from the satellite. There is a wireless video bridge that connects to all the mini genies (other tv's) in the house. All work. When using an ethernet cord (Airport to the receiver) I receive a signal and I can access all the internet services.
I cannot however, connect the Directv receiver to my Airport Extreme network using wifi. Using the Directv receivers menu settings, it does not locate any wireless networks.
I have called both Directv and Cox, both say that you cannot use the Airport. I find that hard to believe, there must be some way to configure. Really don't want to fork out bucks for another router.
Tired of having a cord running through the room, want to figure out how to connect wirelessly. Any suggestions?
