Hi,

Having a bit of trouble with airport as it is not connecting at the moment. It is not a major problem but it is a bit inconvenient and would like to try to solve the problem.

I have an iMac and run a ethernet cable from my cable modem to the iMac for internet connection. Airport normally works fine but at times it might not connect for days but it will end up fixing itself (has happened a few times)

I am not certain but i play Xbox online a fair bit and in order to do so i will just place an ethernet cable from the modem to the Xbox (this may cause a problem?) and the airport/wifi normally will allow others or myself to still use the internet on the iMac.

I am a bit useless with computers so i am not sure what steps to take to try solve the problem.

Thanks for any help, much appreciated.
