kam31uf is on a distinguished road
Wireless Internet and XBox set up with Airport and Linksys Router

We have a powerbook and a macbook, as well as Xbox 360. We use Airport Express. We also have a Webstar modem and a Linksys BEFSR41 router.

We are having trouble in that when we have it plugged in like this:
Airport to Linksys router, Linksys router to Xbox and webstar modem.

it doesn't not allow the internet to work unless we keep fidgeting with the plugs repeatedly. we want it to work everything as its getting frustrating.

Any thoughts?

Did you check you cable connection going to between the two router since you said you have to ay with the plugging into ports to get it working?

Im not sure what you mean by - did we check the cable connection -

We have verified that everything was securely plugged in.

I meant did you check out to make sure the cables are good. I say this because you said "unless we keep fidgeting with the plugs repeatedly".

Yes the cables seem fine as when hooked up to skip the router it works fine.
