Let me start off by saying that I suck with technology so please don't only to criticize me please.
So basically I went into my routers settings on my desktop and enabled wireless bridging. From there, it asked for a MAC address of what I was trying to bridge, so I put in the one on my xbox because that is where i was having connection issues. After I hit enable, I lost internet on both my xbox and my desktop computer. However, I still have Wifi on my phone and macbook. When I try and connect both my xbox and desktop to the wifi network, it says unable to connect.
Can someone point me in the right direction so I can get both devices back up and running? +Rep for a working solution.
Thanks

I would suggest going on ur macbook and use it to change ur router settings and disable wireless bridging.
You could also just factory reset ur router by holding the reset button down for about 7-10 seconds.

You created a wireless bridge, which bridges those two connections. You no longer have anything acting as a router, so you're unable to route packets from one network to another. That's why your wifi is working, but you can't access anything else.
Get back into the admin page of the router, and change it back to how it was.
As for the connection issues, what issues are you experiencing?

I would just factory reset your router. Unless you've changed things like SSID and password etc. Although they're easily altered again.
