Since my last posting on this, I had some other issues to handle so I removed all traces of the XBOX as an extender from my Win7 client, and Xbox settings as well. After a few restarts, and attempted connections to set this back up, something in the background changed. Using my xbox as an extender now pretty much 'just works' as promised.

I did try to go to more of the 'default' setting on my network adapter, and let Win7 troubleshoot my network. Overall, my suggestion at this point is to go ahead and emulate what I did, since it seemed to work. As you have already followed the troubleshooting steps from the article , I would suggest you to contact Xbox support for better assistance:.
