Connect Imac wirelessly with Xbox 360

I've got the Wireless Networking Adaptor for the Xbox 360 but I need my Network Settings to connect to my Imac.
The instruction books says I need the following:
Workgroup Name
802.11g/b Network
Wireless Network Name(SSID)
802.11a/b Network
Wireless Network Name(SSID)
Wireless Security Setting
Where on earth do I find these?
Thanks in advance

Duane:"In the AirPort discussion area it has became clear that this does not work. OS X's Internet Sharing does not properly support the Xbox's attempt to connect to an on-line gaming network."
Sorry,that is complete rubbish.I eventually worked out all i needed was my WEP key found on router and within 5 minutes I was connected to XBox Live an working like a dream.Also added Connect 360 so I can view my movies.photos and my music transferred wirellessly from my IMAC to my TV via my Xbox.
FANTASTIC!

  • Connecting with Xbox 360

    is there a reason iPhones won't connect with Xbox 360's like iPods did?

    Because even though it plays mp3 and has ipod capabilites...it's a phone! Were you able to connect your previous cell phone to your Xbox?

  • Linksys WRT54G compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

    Is the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router (WRT54G) compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

    Use the LAN port and cable. That way you'll get no interference and great data transfer. Or this maybe helps. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/homenetworking/equipment.htm

  • Linksys E3000 Wireless Router, Xbox 360, 5GHz and 802.11n

    Please could someone help - I'm tearing my hair out!!
    When I set up a 5GHz 802.11n or mixed a/n SSID, my XBox can't connect to it, even with security disabled.  It just says can't connect to wireless network.  It can connect to a 2.4GHz SSID as 802.11g (not n).  I've already reported the issue to Microsoft and also tried all the obvious things (I work with computer networks) and nothing works.  It can see the network after a scan and, if I disable security, it will even warn me that security is disabled, but it just can't connect.  Tried everything I can think of, including different channel widths, channels, USB ports and static IP configuration, to no avail.  
    Here are the details:
    Router firmware version: 1.0.04
    XBox version: Elite
    NIC: Microsoft Wireless N Network Adapter (black, two antennae)
    I've reported the issue to Micrsoft Support and they're not sure what the problem is either.

    Maybe it's a compatibility issue. You and this guy have the same issue. But I'm not sure if you guys have the same adapter.

  • After 7.3.1, extremely slow wireless on Xbox 360 and PS3

    Everything was running good on my PS3 and Xbox 360 connected wireless to my Airport Extreme. I upgraded to 7.3.1 and now things are running very slow. I also saw some very slow transfers from one Macbook Pro to another, both connected via Wireless N (0.5 MB/sec).
    I'd reset the router and modem and have no idea what the deal is. Anybody have any thoughts? I tried connecting my PS3 and Xbox 360 with an ethernet cable and speeds go back to normal. Too bad I can't run a wire where I am now.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    I'm a bit lay entering this discussion. But I too experienced this problem with my PS3. I benchmarked my AirPort with my old DL524-UP, and amazingly, the AirPort was about 30 to 50% slower both on my PS3 and my PC. So I checked out the settings on the D Link to figure out a variable that might be having an impact. I noticed that the D Link was configured to Channel 6. So I changed the AirPort settings from auto to Channel 6, did another benchmark, and what do you know. Suddenly my PS3 and PC are downloading beautifully. So that's my solution to this widespread problem - manually select channel 6!

  • Can't connect internet wirelessly with OSX 10.5.6

    My G4 connected internet wirelessly with OSX 10.3.9. After I loaded OSX 10.5.6 my computer does not recognize nor connect wirelessly with my home network. It connects fine with ethernet. Please help.

    I found the trouble was my base modem. My DSL carrier had to upgrade the software on the modem. This solved the problem.

    Hey kole71,
    That particular model of Plantronics is compatible for PC gaming but not Xbox 360. Plantronics does have some headsets that work with 360, and I've attached a PDF of the chart found on their website. Hope that helps!

  • 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?

  • Issues with connecting iMac wirelessly to a Netgear router

    The iMac in question being a 2.66GHz model bought in August 2009 running OSX 10.6.6, and the Netgear Router being a DG834GT. The iMac is being exceptionally temperamental when it comes to connecting to the wireless network. Strangely enough there are times when it will connect fine, but most of the time it will either connect for a minute or so and then drop, or just not connect. When the latter happens it seems like it is giving a different error message every time, sometimes saying that a preferred network isn't available, sometimes saying that the password is wrong (when it isn't), sometimes that the ISP has failed (ISP is Orange) and so on. Even when it says it is connected Safari then seems to think it isn't.
    We also have a MacBook Pro, an Xbox 360 and two Windows based laptops that have all never had a problem connecting to this router wirelessly. Yet the iMac, the most recent piece of technology by far, just can't seem to stomach it.
    Is there something that can be fundamentally changed with the wireless settings that will fix this? Or, in fact, anything that will fix this?

    Unfortunately we are already using WPA (which my MacBook Pro has no problems with), so nothing to change there.
    Interestingly we have just called up Apple to see if they have any ideas for a quick fix, and they suggested wiring it up, which should somehow fix the wireless aspect of it as well. So after carefully moving the iMac and stringing some wires into fairly dangerous positions, it is now wired up. However, upon disconnecting the wire it worked for all of thirty seconds wirelessly before cutting out again. However, I do recall in my mind something about connecting a Mac via a wire first and then fiddling with something to help it work wirelessly? I don't know what that is though, so suggestions are appreciated.
    In the very short term connecting it via a wire works, but really a solution needs to be found asap. If the wireless issue can't be sorted I expect I will have to invest in a very long ethernet cable and run it from the router to the iMac, which whilst obviously not ideal is certainly possible.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • WRT54G wont connect with xbox 360

    i had my main computer hooked up to the wrt54g with a cable and had a laptop on the wireless and the xbox hooked up on a cable also. im selling the main computer and using just the laptop and now the xbox wont connect with anything. its driving me insane. at one point i had it but the xbox lost it again and has not worked at all.
    do i have to have the laptop hooked up to the wrt54g for the xbox to work? when the laptop is hooked to the cable it works and when i disconnect it stops working yet i could run my old pc and this laptop wireless and xbox still worked.
    i uninstalled the linksys advisor program and reinstalled and finally said screw it and deleted it and now the laptop connects finally but still no xbox.

    Do the following settings on your Router for X-Box to connect...

    IP Address :- 192.168.1.20, Subnet Mask :- 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway :- 192.168.1.1...
    5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
    Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
    6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
    7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...

  • WRT54G v2 with Strict NAT when connected via ethernet to Xbox 360

    Hello, I apologize if this is in the wrong board as the router, although it is a wireless model, is connected to the Xbox 360 via ethernet cable, so I was a bit torn on where to place it. Router Model, Firmware version: WRT54G v2, v4.21.1 The problem and details are as follows: The Xbox 360 is running on the default settings. Literally, I plugged it into the router via ethernet and it automatically grabbed an IP (192.168.1.101) and the right information to connect to Xbox Live. The router is still running the default range of 50 IPs, so 100 to 149; the 360 was just the second thing to connect. Another computer is connected to the router via ethernet and a laptop is connected wirelessly, if this might affect the case at all. When using the Network Test feature of the Xbox 360, everything is operating perfectly except the NAT is giving me a Strict reading. Some of my games require an Open NAT for me to be able to access some features such as hosting a co-op match. Simply put, what do I need to do inside the router's settings that would give me an Open NAT on the Xbox 360?

    well try reducing the MTU values to 1365 on the router, also try triggering 88, 3074 ports on the router...
