Airport extreme connecting with xbox 360 wireless adapter problems...help!!

Has anyone linked their xbox 360 wireless adapter to an Airport Extreme? I need help! Neither Apple nor Microsoft knew how to link the two devices. If anyone has successfully been able to make this work, your help will be much appreciated. Thanks guys

Yes - Mine works no problem. I have found that I have to unplug the Xbox360 wireless adaptor and plug it back in occasionally (if the green light is on everything is fine). Are you using the correct WPA Key?

WRT350N compatibility with XBox 360 wireless adapter

I just installed a new WRT350N - all my computers connect just fine - my XBox wireless adapter will not connect. Is there a compatibility issue?

Make sure that your wireless security is not set to WPA2. The XBOX 360 wireless adapter does not support it. You need to use WPA or WEP.

Xbox 360 wireless adapter wont connect to Airport Express/cant find ip

i have a time warner modem with the ethernet cable plugged into my airport express to create a wireless network in my house. my macbook and dell connect with no prob.
the xb recognizes the airport express, shows it as connected with green bars, but when i try to log into xbox online, it says that there is no connection.
i can plug in the ethernet cable from the xb to the airport ex and there is no problem. only when trying to use the wireless adapter.
how can i stop this? also, how can i find my IP address?
since the xb wouldnt connect and find my ip automatically, i tried to do it manually. when i go to terminal on my macbook and enter "ipconfig e0", i dont see an IP address.
i have seen a lot of info on this but it mainly deals with airport extreme or those who are trying to connect to airport express with an ethernet cable.
so if you can help me troubleshoot the wireless connection between my xb and my airport ex OR explain how i can find my IP address, i would be very grateful.
FYI---the airport express was purchased in april, so i believe it is the new "n" model.
thanks for all your help.

Gary Sanborn, please share your tricks. I'm curious to know how you got it to work. I used to have the old Express and that worked just fine. The new version (n) doesn't seem to connect to xbox live. As previously stated, mine also shows "connected" and a strong green bar signal on the xbox but the text can't get passed "connected to live"... if I'm not mistaken.
I heard about holding down the option button white selected the type of wireless connection and connecting to wireless b only. I would want to avoid this option. I don't want my express to run that slow. Please advice. Thanks in advance.
By the way, I haven't tried it since recently upgrading to OS X 10.5.3. I wasn't sure if that affected airport's connectivity with xbox 360.

Does the Xbox 360 wireless adapter even work with the WRT54G wireless router?!!? If so, how???

I just bought a WRT54G wireless router (Ver 8.0; firmware updated to latest). I have successfully connected my wireless laptop using WEP security, but I'm at wits end trying to get the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to work. (It worked just fine with my Netgear router until that router recently died.)
When I do the "Test Media Connection" routine (you XBox 360 users know what I'm referring to), the Xbox immediately recognizes the Network Adapter and indicates that it is connected to the Wireless Network, but it inevitably fails the next step in the process: IP Address. I have the set-up for the IP address to be assigned automatically by the router (which is set for DHCP Server enabled).
I have gone around the mountain innumerable times myself and then with well-meaning friends who say try this, try that, try this, try that. I've had to re-establish my laptop set-up so many times I wanna scream!
Are the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and the WRT54G even compatible? If so, what am I missing here? I'm not too technical and obviously in over my head, but this ought not be that hard.
Please, please do NOT respond unless you KNOW the answer! I don't mean to be curt, but I'm over / past "suggestions to try."
Thank you VERY much for your time and consideration if you can help me.

I don't think that the X-BOX adapter is not compatible to wireless rotuer .... there are few settings you can try on the router ... Access router setup page ... Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub tab "Port range forwarding" 1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 2) On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 3) Now save the settings 4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration" and disable the UPNP and save the settings. 5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox ip address :- 192.168.1.20 subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0 default gateway :- 192.168.1.1 Please assign the dns address on the xbox primary dns :- 4.2.2.2 secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1 6) Please try to test your xbox live. Hope it works ...

Configuring an XBOX 360 Wireless adapter to Airport

How do you configure an XBOX 360 Wireless adapter to your Airport. I've Been trying to connect to xbox live but have been having trouble doing this.

You have connect 360, right?

If so, I think you have to change the default security from WPA to WEP (or vice-versa) in order to make it work.

Airport and using a xbox 360 wireless

I want to convert to the apple world and a airport network. I am 99% there.
I have been readin many post's about xbox 360 not working on airport networks, i was woundering can you use a AirPort Express unit and hard wire in to the 360. so it would work like a wireless bridge.
Has any one tired this or hard wired a non wireless computer like this?

Hey I think, I just responded to this same topic in the Airport Express forum (?)
Anyway, I was going to post this as a sticky on the topic but this seems as good a place to put my info. I have an XBox 360 hardwired into my Airport network, works great. Here's my setup:
1. Main access point: Time Capsule 500GB (upstairs) plugged into Time Warner cable modem. Set to Wireless N, b/g compatible.
2. Bridge: Airport Extreme N base station (downstairs), extending my wireless network.
3. XBox 360 plugged into the downstairs base station via Ethernet cable.
4. TivoHD also plugged into the base station. Not important to this discussion, just to show that it works (and that it's nice to be able to hardwire all your AV devices).
Set your primary base station to be extendable, then configure your second base station as a bridge by allowing it to extend your primary network. Easy. Plug in the 360 and it will configure automatically, no need to go through all the PAINFUL configs when using wireless.
Just for the record, I also tried:
1. XBox 360 wireless adapter and my Time Capsule: would only work when I set my Airport network to "B only" mode, which is pretty useless. Stopped working altogether after I swapped wireless adapters and tried to switch back. I think it's a piece of junk, and the XBox's wireless setup could use an overhaul.
2. Linksys G Game Adapter: worked briefly with Time Capsule, then stopped working. Created it's own ad-hoc network despite being told not to. Can only setup using web utility on a Mac. Also a piece of junk.
**Final advice: if you have Time Capsule, do yourself a favor and buy an Express or another base station and hardwire your Xbox 360. You'll save yourself a lot of headache. An Express costs close to what an XBox wireless adapter costs anyway, so it makes more sense to go this route.**
Haha, you're a **** genius. I was going to buy a new n-compatible Airport Express anyway (been borrowing my mom's old Express thus far) – aaand I just got an Xbox 360. And also, by doing it your way, I will only have the power cord and the ethernet cable from the modem to my Time Capsule‚ all other devices (iPhone, MacBook Pro, PS3) will connect wirelessly, and the Express will do the same, and since its current position is like 1 meter away from the Xbox 360, this was truly one of my all-time highlights of a forum-solved problem...
Thanks!

Wireless slow with Xbox 360 Madcatz adapter

I have just had Infinity installed yesterday and all is fine with my laptop and speeds, however, my sons Xbox 360 is connected via a Madcatz wireless adapter and he is experiecing lag since the conversion.
I connected the router as soon as it arrived through the post and the connection was ok then, but since the engineer converted the line to Infinity, it has now gone slow.
Anyone got any suggestions?

I had the same problem the other day. Xbox360 will not pass the security for WPA....I called the Linksys help desk and the guy was great...I had to change my settings for the router to be WEP with a passcode and then the Xbox360 wireless adapter would work.....When you set-up the router I'm sure you were like me and put the hightest security, which does not allow xbox360 wireless to pass through...Change to WEP with a passcode....Then it worked like a charm...

Xbox 360 wireless adapter for windows 8.1.

would the xbox 360 wireless receiver adapter work with windows 8.1. because i'm having a problem that my controller keeps getting disconnected for no reason.

Hi,
Regarding your problems about not connecting the controller to the adapter, I suggest you replace the batteries or recharge the battery pack.
Meanwhile, I would like to verify if the controller is recognized in Device Manager. How about changing different USB ports?
Please reinstall the latest driver of the receiver adapter and the controller from Microsoft.
If the issue persists, I would recommend you to contact Xbox support for further assistance.

Connecting xbox 360 wirelessly...HELP!!

i setup airport extreme the other day and easily connected all my devices including ps3.
My xbox which is downstairs doesn't pick up the router, i changed the settings to WPA/WPA2 so that the xbox picks it up as i heard
it needs to be on WPA. it still doesn't connect even if i manually enter the connection details.
at first i thought it was a distance issue but if i connect my old netgear router, the xbox picks it up fine.
can anyone offer some advice as i need to play CoD online

are the wireless computers connecting to the wireless network of the router ?? if yes, settings on the router are fine...try troubleshooting the x-box itself...
in order to access the MAC filtering list .. access the router web ui from the wired computer...and go to the wireless tab and click on "wireless mac filtering" subtab ...
to know how to access the router's setup page click here

Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter and WRT54G

I can only squeek out one (red) bar of signal on my xbox 360 when it is only two rooms away (with open doors and few walls) ...
Are there settings on the 54G that will boost the wireless signal?
Not using any encryption ...
Any suggestions?

There is no setting to "boost" the wireless output. However, changeing some settings may get you a better connection.
Make sure you are using a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". Also, be sure that "SSID Broadcast" is set to "enabled". Broadcasting a unique SSID will help your Xbox find your router and lock on to its signal.
The router usually works better if it is raised several feet off the floor. Try to position the router and the Xbox closer together, with as few obstructions as possible between them. The router antena should be vertical. Do not place the router behind monitors, or other computer equipment -- get it out in the open.
Try setting the router to a different channel. Channels 1, 6, or 11 usually work best. Check out your neighbors and see what channel they are using. The channels overlap, so try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, use any channel 1 through 4.
Eliminate any interference from other 2.4 GHz devices, such as wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, wireless keyboards and mice, Bluetooth (including Bluetooth game controlers), and microwave ovens. Even some 5+ Ghz phones use the 2.4 GHz band. Unplug these devices and see if that improves your connection.
Another thing that should help would be to use a high gain antena on your WRT54G, for example, the Linksys HGA7T.
Ultimately, for the best gaming experience, a wired connection usually works best.

Sharing Connection with XBOX 360.

Here's what I want to do: Get xbox live working without buying a wireless adapter.
Here's how I'm connected: My laptop is connected wirelessly through Airport. I have my xBox plugged into my laptop. After I plugged in the cable to my laptop, here's what I did:
Went to system pref. > sharing. Share my connection from: Airport to computer using Built in Ethernet. Then I 'started' this sharing. When I went to check my xbox network settings, the IP address failed.
What am I doing wrong, here? I searched the forums for the answer, and I figured that was all I had to do, but apparently not? What else should I do to get my xbox to receive internet / an IP address?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi
It requires manual setup, for some reason OS X can't provide the XBOX an IP automatically.
Setup Mac OS X Ethernet to a manual address i.e. 10.0.0.1. Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0. Leave the Gateway / Router, DNS, ... empty
Setup the XBOX manually. Go to the Dashboard and move the the System tab-->Network Settings-->Edit Settings. Make the IP manual i.e. 10.0.0.2, Subnet 255.255.255.0, and the Gateway / Router 10.0.0.1. For DNS settings, most use the router's IP address, i.e. 192.168.2.1, but you can also use your ISP's DNS if you can find out what it is.
Now, make sure Internet Sharing is started and setup to share your Airport connection to Ethernet.
NOTE: You can find your router's IP by going to the TCP/IP tab of the Airport network settings.
