Xbox 360 will not connect to WRT54G Wired connection

OK I just bought a xbox 360 and the Linksys wrt54g router I updated the firmware on the router and have 2 pcs currently connected and working great i also have a wii connected wirelessly and it works great.
I connected the xbox 360 to the router and it doesnt even detect that its connected. Ive tested the cables tried 4 different ones and nothing i unhooked the router and just ran the xbox 360 to the cable modem and it worked fine so i know its not the xbox or the cables its the router thats giving me probs. i called linksys was on the line with them for 2 hours and they couldnt tell me nothing. Ive read that ppl have this router and there xboxs work fine
on microsofts site this router is listed as compatible. im lossing my patience and getting very mad about this.
no lights come on the router and the xboxs say the cable is not connected when running to the router but when connected direct to the cable modem works fine.
can someone please help or shed some light on this i would be greatful
thank

I amp having the same problem. I tried what you had said about using the xbox settings but no luck. I found a link that told me to open these ports:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/mediacenter/firewall.mspx#EMG
It says Inbound and outbound, but I have no idea what that means.  I basically went to Port Range Forwading (I have the BEFSX41 wired router by the way.). It would only allow me to put in 10 .  Also there is no incoming and outgoing!!?? So if there was just 1 number for the port I put that number in both Start and end, and if it had 2 number I put the 1st one as start and the second one as end.
Can anyone help me. This is redamndiculous that a person has to go through this much trouble to hook up an xbox 360.
Also I have a SD216 switch. I don't know if that matters at all.

  • Xbox 360 will not play iTunes Plus songs!

    I recently upgraded several iTunes albums to iTunes Plus versions so I could play these files on my Xbox 360, but the Xbox 360 will not play these files! If I convert the purchased files to 'AAC Audio' from within iTunes then the resultant files will play fine on the Xbox, but I am concerned this extra recoding step will affect the sound quality of the music. Why don't the 'Purchaed AAC' files work in the first place? They are supposed to be DRM free.

    I have both 2mb and a 4mb 'media update' installed if that's what you mean. I also tried re-downloading one of them - I could only find one on marketplace.

  • My xbox 360 will not see my AirPort Extreme basestation wirelessly.

    I just bought a new AirPort Extreme from my local Apple store last night.  All devices work great (iPad, iPhone, MacBook Air, Win7 Laptop) all exept my Xbox 360.  My Xbox will not even see the AirPort base station via the older white Xbox wireless adapter.  I am at a loss here because I thought the SSID was broadcasting since my other devices found it no problem.  Anyone else have or solved this issue?

    Microsoft offered two versions of the "white" USB Wi-Fi adapter for the original XBox 360; one for 802.11b/g and the other included 802.11n. Both only support the 2.4 GHz radio band. Which do you have?
    By default, your new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) provides support on both the 2.4 & 5 GHz radio bands and for all of the current radio modes (802.11) ... so, by theory, the XBox should be able to find and connect to its wireless network. However, I have noted that original XBox did have some issues connecting with these default settings.
    You can change the default radio mode setting to a number of other choices. Note that you will need to hold down the Option key (for the Mac) before making a redio mode selection from the AirPort Utility to "see" the additional options. I would suggest the following to see if the XBox can connect: 802.11n only (5 GHz) - 802.11b/g.
    If that radio mode still doesn't solve the connection problem, try temporarily disabling wireless security on the AEBSn. Please post back your results.

  • My Canon MX922 will not print wireless or wired.

    My CANON MX922 printer will not print wireless or wired. I used suggestions in Community such as "MX922 not connecting wirelessly, 7-6-15, post 1362, 10-17-15". (No solution). I worked with a great rep., by phone,for one hour. (No solution). My MG6220 has worked wirelessly, for two years, on the same Lenovo computer with Windows 7. THANKING YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HELP ME.

    I tried that and the computer still can not recognize the printer.  I used the CD that came with it to reinstall it and all goes well until the very end when the last window pops up and says it can not find the printer.I went and bought a new printer last night Canon MG5622 since it uses the same ink cartridges and I have a lot of of inkI didn't want to waste.  This printer installed easily and works great.Not sure what happened with the other one but perhaps I'll pass it to my sister with the CD and see if it will install onher computer.thank you for your help, you're awesome for trying!Diane

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Well, you downloaded a bootleg copy of iOS 7 beta and have installed it on your phone without being a developer. It has bricked your phone and you cannot get help here because doing what you did has voided your warranty. Have a nice day.

    File Sharing over Bluetooth is not a feature of iOS devices. iOS does not include the required Bluetooth profiles to allow this. You cannot add this feature, so you may as well stop trying.

  • My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connected and disconnected.  does the same with itunes.  Also i'm talking on the phone and all of a sudden the other person can not hear me.

    My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connecting and disconnecting.  It does the same with itunes so it doesnt really sync.  Also when talking to someone, all of a sudden they cant hear me.

    I'm having the same issue. I went to my local apple store and they could not work me into the genius bar so i made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The clerk did check the phone for the pink indicators at the top and bottom of the phone (where you plug in your USB or headphones) He said if you can see a pink indicator dot you may have gotten it wet, or had some sort of condensation in it, which could cause the plugs to not work.
    In regards to people not being able to hear you, i'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow for more news! I would recommend taking it into your local apple store for more answers.
